Do you ever have those days where you just want to curl up and be in your own little world, at least for a short while? Where better to do this, than in an indoor / outdoor hanging chair. Not only do they serve a useful purpose, they are glamorous, unexpected and create a definite ‘WOW’ factor in any home.  Who can resist the allure of sitting in a hanging chair? Not me, that’s for sure.  With more colors, patterns and materials than ever before, there is a finish and style to suit any design scheme.  The biggest challenge is choosing one – Macrame, Wicker, Perspex, Bamboo, even Basalt. So whether you want to add some glamour to room, make the most of a killer view, dress up an outdoor space, add a playful element to a child’s bedroom, or simply have somewhere to curl up and read a book, you are sure to find one you like. Here are some of my favorites: A Summer must have! These gorgeous macrame hanging chairs add color and vibrancy to your outdoor space, whether your flowers are in bloom or not.
