Swings

Few things evoke the carefree feelings of childhood like a swing.

Few things evoke the carefree feelings of childhood like a swing.  There’s something about kicking up your feet and defying gravity that brings out your inner child.  Even gently rocking back and forth on a swing can be so relaxing.  There are some great ways to incorporate a swing into your home, inside or out.

Not all swings are playthings.  I love the idea of a big swing as a piece of outdoor furniture.  With comfortable, weather proof cushions, an outdoor swing is a great alternative to a traditional chaise or your typical porch swing.

Indoor swings can take so many forms.  You really can take this idea and adapt to almost any interior, modern or rustic.  With a cozy throw or a custom pillow, a swing becomes the perfect spot to relax.
