Swing in the apartment: views, choice of installation location, best photos and ideas for the interior

Types of structures

Any swing consists of a seat and a suspension system mounted on a suitable support. The support is either external or part of the structure. The simplest option for an apartment is a board laid on ropes fixed to the ceiling. Consider the most common swing design options.

In a modern apartment there are not many places where you can hang an object that should swing. In addition to the need to ensure its reliable fastening, you should also leave enough space for free swinging back and forth, and also leave a “corridor” for lateral movement. Consider several options for placing a hanging swing.

Children

When a child is in the house, the issue of placing such devices is decided by itself. In a nursery, a hanging swing is hung where there is free space, this may be the center of the room or a place near the window. The seat for the time when the child does not swing, can be lifted to the ceiling or put aside and fixed stationary so that it does not take up space and interfere with other activities.

Living room

A swing in the interior of the apartment will successfully replace the usual chair in the living room. You need to arrange them so that, swaying measuredly, watch TV or watch the burning of fire in the fireplace. This will contribute to deep relaxation and rest.

Bedroom

If your bedroom has a relaxation area, it can be equipped with hanging swings.

Loggia

The balcony or loggia in the apartment can be turned into a relaxation area, for this place on it an original swing chair or hammock.

Doorway

This is one of the most successful places for hanging children's swings in the interior of the apartment. Of course, they should be easily removed from the mounts and removed at a time when not in use, otherwise the passage from room to room will be difficult. The plus is that usually there is no bulky furniture near the doorway, and there is enough room for swinging.Minus - the design will often have to hang and remove.

Tip: Gentle swaying with a small amplitude is enough for adults to enjoy relaxation, so a swing for adults requires less installation space than children. In the apartment they can be installed in the corner of the bedroom, so that before bed you can comfortably read a book.

The choice of swings in the nursery for the child

When choosing a model for children, parents have a special responsibility: the swing itself is very traumatic. Children may fall from them and be injured in the fall, or hit, including on the head, with a swaying seat. There are other opportunities to inadvertently harm yourself, especially if the swing is used as a sports simulator. Therefore, the main attention should be paid to security.

• Material. All structural elements must be made of light and durable materials that do not emit harmful substances. The lighter the seat, the less likely it is that the child will suffer a fall. For kids, a swing with plastic seats is preferred.
• Device. The smallest are secured to the seat using seat belts. Other methods of holding the child in place, preventing accidental falling, may also be provided.
• Mount. The installation of hanging swings in the apartment is best entrusted to specialists. When self-fixing, it must be borne in mind that in most houses the ceilings are made of hollow slabs, and for suspended devices that carry a serious load, they are not suitable.
