What gives a hanging armchair in interior?

First of all, it is a great variety, especially for a living room or bedroom, but it can be placed or installed even in a study. It is an energetic break from the typical living room decor. We appreciate such an armchair for the high level of comfort that is at our fingertips. It gives the opportunity to break away from everyday life for a while and rock in a comfortable position. It should be added that this is definitely fun not only for adults, but also for children

What is better: a chair suspended to the ceiling or on a frame?

The introduction of such furniture to the interior is carried out with the help of its attachment to the ceiling on a rope or chain, but also using an armchair on a frame. Which option is better? Certainly, fixing to the ceiling is very stylish and safe. With a solid rope or chain, you can use the furniture in any way you want.

Such a piece of furniture must be away from walls and windows. It can also not be placed near glass doors. It is also best if it is at a safe distance from all other furniture

Hammock or cocoon?

Certainly, the spherical shapes of suspended armchairs are appreciated for their versatility. The rattan cocoon can be matched with many styles and this is its undoubted advantage. It looks great in the middle of the room, giving it a more cozy character. However, a large amount of space is then indispensable. A room hammock, in a fringed version perfect for boho styling, will take up less space. It can also be placed a little more on the periphery of the room.
