Got a porch? It’s time to invest in a hanging chair. These breezy seating options—often crafted from rattan for a natural look—are a fail-safe way to swing some summer relaxation, whether you’re reading, journaling, or just taking a nap. More classic silhouettes include an egg-shaped motif, while others are cast in bright, colorful hues that add real curb appeal.
Best of all, these versatile furnishings can be used indoors too, and adding them to living rooms, bedrooms, and lounges has become a go-to for many designers, often adding a touch of retro flair. “The Nanna Ditzel egg chair has always been a favorite,” says Mia Jung, interiors director at ELLE DECOR A-List firm Ike Kligerman Barkley. “I would use it for a room to add some fun, while still going with that zen feeling.” Here, a few more of our favorites hanging chairs for the gazebo and beyond.

PORCH SWING
Comfort is a number one priority when it comes to a hanging chair, and this offering’s got it in spades. Inspired by the curved shape of a lobster’s tail, thick seat cushions cradle the body so you can catch a few z’s while enjoying the great outdoors. The brick-red hue makes for a fun pop of color too.

Interior design firm Hettler-Tüllman took that long aesthetic tradition as inspiration for its CB2 hanging chair, honoring the natural materials and creating a shape that’s an instant front-porch classic.

HAMMOCK CHAIR
Get the best of both worlds with this option from Lowe's, which cradles the body like a hammock but maintains the shape and feel of a chair. It’s one of the more affordable options for those looking for additional outdoor seating, too, and can be easily taken down and packed up in a small cloth bag.

It’s all in the details. Anthropologie’s hanging chair features intricate, swirling rattan designs, so it’s a beautiful seating option both indoors and out. The flowing motifs are reminiscent of a peacock’s showy feathers—hence the name—and you’ll be equally proud to show this baby off.
