Now that we have rectified this common mistake, place to zenitude with these 5 indoor hammocks to adopt urgently!
The home net
Increasingly common in interiors, the home net can create a large hammock without encroaching on the space of the room. Made using a robust net, type catamaran net, it is installed absolutely everywhere: above the stairwell for the smallest areas, the ceiling above the living room or as a mezzanine. To create one above a room, as an extension of the parquet, the principle is simple: install an aluminum frame on three of the walls of the room, into which you insert the net tightly. The last pan is firmly fixed to the ground that it extends, thanks to an adequate screw. Add some cushions and you're done, you're the owner of the XXL version of the hammock in which all the family and friends can relax!
The suspended chair
A true haven of peace in the heart of a room, this type of hammock will give a furiously contemporary touch to the living room or the bedroom. You can opt for a small chair, but also for a cocooning sofa in which several people can settle. Favor a rounded shape for the base of the furniture, in order to bring a minimalist and cozy aspect. You need to hang it on a sturdy beam, able to support the weight of one or more people. The ropes must also be thick enough not to break with time. Choose beautiful, light-colored cushions that will contrast against the darker structure, which you'll want to match to the floor of the room and not to the color of the walls. The materials must have a natural appearance such as linen and cotton to accommodate the largest number of interior decorations. Note that there are semi-closed versions, shaped tipis, which will delight the youngest ...
The hammock on foot
It is the ideal hammock choice for those who do not wish to drill holes in the walls. Resting on a wooden structure in a semicircle, it will easily find its place in a room. Two types of fabric are offered with these hammocks, a classic weaving that folds when you're not in it, or a rigid version that remains permanently stretched. For one or two people, it can be removed easily. For the winter, pile up some fluffy plaids that will invite you to absolute rest.
The wooden pallet transformed into a bench
First opt for a large size pallet, accommodating two people, that you will scour and varnish to protect the wood. Then, choose a nice mattress like the one found on the outdoor lounges, which you will put on the palette. Finally, attach a rope at each corner of the pallet that you will suspend to the beams of your home.
The hammock boat
We have kept the best for last, this extravagant hammock that will leave all your visitors speechless: the suspension-boat. You need for that ... a boat! Or rather a wooden boat, left intact or cut in half, which will be used to accommodate small naps or moments of relaxation. If you choose the full version of the boat, cut a rectangular opening on a large third of one side of the boat. Roughly trim the wood to give the boat a natural aged effect. You can also leave the boat out for some time, struggling with the weather. Then, garnish the interior with several layers of fluffy duvets and soft cushions. Run very thick ropes under the boat which you will fix securely to a big beam. The time has come to cast off and sail to your holiday memories!
