Since it refers to childhood and good times, the swing is a decoration item that is not much explored, but it occupies many minds and hearts out there. With houses and apartments getting smaller and smaller, you can think that this item of great fun has become obsolete. But not! Here are some decoration ideas that prove that it is possible to have a balance – regardless of the size of your home.
According to the architect Glaucio Gonçalves , incorporating the toy into the home decoration is not so difficult. “It can be used in the living room, bedrooms and terraces, in the office, in the yard, as a bedside table…”, the options are many, just creativity! “In addition to being beautiful and charming, they provide comfort, a delicious feeling that reminds us of childhood,” says the professional.
Does it fit in every room? Perhaps! According to Gonçalves, it is not so common to find it in kitchens and bathrooms. But use is possible. “The best way to use it in these environments would be for the purpose of decoration, such as shelves, for example”.

In addition to the main function, which is to swing, the swings can also serve as decoration to the environment. In some cases, it can even be used to store objects. For having all this versatility, it is important to take care when buying (or making) and installing your swing.
Pay attention to the size of your environment and decide before installation what purpose you want for your new furniture. According to Gonçalves, everything depends on the purpose and who will use it. “Because of that, heights can vary. If they are used as shelves, for example, they can be installed from 40cm above the floor ”.

The room is a room that receives the balance very well. In addition to being an extra draw for the environment, it is a wildcard element when the house is full, providing another seat. The architect’s tip for use in the room is “to provide an ideal space that the balance does not hit anything”.
The idea of sitting down and giving him a little push to swing is irresistible. Calculate the space well to avoid possible accidents, either breaking or dropping something or hitting someone – be careful not to install in busy places or passages, such as corridors.
Rooms can also have swings

Rooms are also environments that are even more cozy with the use of the swing. And if you have space, you can use and abuse that item! It is worth putting it in the couple’s, teenager’s, children’s room and even in the guest room. Your visit will delight you with irreverence and good taste, for sure.
To use the swing in the rooms, as well as the use in the living room, it is important to remember that it is necessary to have an adequate space for this. What needs more attention is the children’s room – surely, it is the little ones who will most enjoy the new decor and splendid playing. Therefore, the expert’s tip is that “the floor should be rubberized”, to avoid major trauma if the child falls. Gonçalves also says that the ideal thing is for the swings to be part of children’s rooms from the age of five, for safety reasons. In baby rooms, it is interesting to use a seat belt suitable for the toy and that the use is always accompanied by adult supervision.

Balconies and balconies can accommodate larger swings, such as those with two (or more) seats. The architect’s tip is to always know if it will be initially used with the balance function or not. “If it is not used as a balance sheet, see the best way to use it. Make it integrated into the decoration of the environment and have a functionality ”, says Gonçalves.

The bigger your garden, the more options for swings – and here nets come in too! Ideally, in this environment it should be used for the balance function itself. Another tip from the architect is that you can innovate and integrate the balance into the environment. For this, bet on more rustic materials, such as wood, jute, rope and pallets.
It is also possible to use the swing in a conservatory. You can support small pots on the seat and create a harmonic and delicate environment.

Companies are increasingly betting on making the work environment lighter and less serious. For this, they invest in a cooler decoration or in specific spaces for professionals to relax. In addition to being used for swinging, in corporate environments (or in your office), the swing can also be beautiful as shelves or side tables.
Even in a library the balance falls very well. You pick up your favorite book from the bookshelf, sit down, cross your legs and get lost in the stories and the swing. Is there anything better?

There is no defined type of material to be used in each environment. Everything is a matter of taste, pocket, creativity. The important thing is to make the balance stand out naturally. They can even have more than one material. For example: the balance is made of material A, the support is made of material B, and the cushion is made of material C. “Everything depends on the decorating style of the environment. It can be wood, bamboo, tires, acrylic, pallets, among others ”, says the architect. The wide variety of materials available on the market further opens up the range of options for your decor to look fantastic. Check the characteristics of each material in the table below:
