Hammock – Add a unique touch to your home decor
Be it your living room or your garden, you can always give your living room a new feeling by adding a relaxing hammock as a decor.
A hammock is a sling/swing made out of different fabrics, rope or a net suspended between two points. It is used for swinging, resting and sleeping. It can be tied to a post, a tree, a pillar or to any sturdy object.
Seen as a symbol of relaxation, leisure, summer, simplicity and easy living, Commonfloor recommends it as a must have for this season.
Hanging a hammock in your room gives you a feeling of coziness along with a relaxed aesthetic touch. Hammocks can be a good source of recreation – a lazy weekend with a great book or simply a place where you can swing by and watch the blue sky. A charming add on to your decor, a hammock is a definite buy no matter what the theme of your home is.
To have a hammock in your apartment, you should first choose the material type of which your hammock will be made.
Get a hammock stand to fasten the hammock to it. In case you decide on drilling the screws into the walls, they might cause damage to your walls.
Choose a colourful hammock to add style to your apartment. Hammocks are available in various colours. A hammock should be hung in a spacious place so as to move freely when used. You can also hang a hammock near the window. To hang a hammock in your room you should first obtain the appropriate measurements.
When choosing a hammock for your interior, choose comfortable and quality pieces and also pay attention to colour and materials. A hammock can be used as an accent in the interior decor to emphasize the colour scheme of the room.
Choose hammock location carefully so that it fit within the interior decor rather than just crossed it. A more informal room for a hammock would suit better than a formal one, but if the living area is not too formal it can be enhanced with a hammock.
A certain location of the hammock can help avoid that look when it takes up the visual space and hides most of the room. Placed out of the center of the room the hammock can serve as a relaxing nook during the day. As a hanging chair the hammock can be hung in any part of the living or any other room.
