A hanging chair or hammock conveys the feeling of vacation, serene moments, perhaps a trip to an exotic place. Essentially, a reminder is a way to escape from everyday thoughts. The inventory is not just part of the usual villa and beach house furnishings or outdoor equipment and can be aesthetically incorporated into the interior. 23 ideas with tips on how and where to get oneAttach hammockwe have summarized in this article.
Attach a hammock inside
A hammock can do more than just hang between two trees in the garden. Fastening it inside the apartment is also possible, although it is not exactly easy. If in doubt, it is very important to have the stability of the walls or supporting elements, such as columns, wooden and steel beams, assessed by a professional.
Install a hammock in the living room
The distance between the two points where the hammock should be attached will soon be assessed. Ideally, this is more than 2 meters if the hammock itself is around 2 meters long. If this is larger, for example 3 meters long, 5 meters are ideally required. Of course, the fastening materials should be sufficient for this.
Open planning in the industrial style – on concrete walls
A hammock is usually tied to two trees. Two vertical columns or supports are ideal in the apartment, for example in a loft apartment. If these are available, you are welcome to use suitable ropes. You have to pay attention to the breaking strength of the rope, which is usually stated in the store. It is important to mention that the force when used far exceeds the weight of a person.

Optimally for use, so that the rope provides sufficient stability, the hammock should be attached at 30° to the horizontal. A rule of thumb applies to the height at which the attachment points should be: the hammock must hang about half as high as the two points are apart.
In the spacious bedroom
To secure the hammock in a room, you can tie the rope in sturdy knots. The butterfly knot is best suited for this purpose. There are also sustainable, ready-made hanging systems on the market. These can be installed perfectly without any prior knowledge.
Treat yourself to a holiday atmosphere in the bedroom
Even if at first glance there is no convenient option for attaching a hammock indoors, you don't have to give up the idea of creating a relaxed living environment. Within your own four walls, it can be attached to two distant points on the ceiling or between two walls.
Create a green corner in the apartment
Which fastening method is the most suitable depends primarily on the nature of the apartment. For example, a suspended ceiling is unsuitable for supporting weight. Hanging the hammock between two walls is the method of choice if they are at a reasonably appropriate distance.
Relax-Zimmer
With an average ceiling height of around 2.5 m, the walls should not be more than around 5 meters apart. If the distance between the two walls at the point where the hammock is desired is greater than 5 meters, this installation must be omitted as an option. Furthermore, it can rarely happen, but sometimes it does happen, that walls are very rarely not load-bearing.
Enjoy the sun on the glazed terrace
Another option is to attach the hammock to the ceiling. This is particularly advisable in spacious rooms where the walls are far apart. A concrete ceiling is perfect for this purpose because it supports an even amount of load. In this case, the hammock can be planned according to your individual mood.
In front of the patio doors in the interior
In order to fix a hammock into the concrete ceiling, an appropriate suspension system is of course required, especially suitable concrete dowels. Matching wall hooks are also required. It is always recommended to use certified fastenings due to the quality assured through multiple tests.
Serene atmosphere in the industrial apartment
If there are wooden benches available in the room, they make assembly easier because dowels are no longer needed. On the other hand, the position and orientation of the hanging mat is limited because it is not enough to simply screw the screws into the wooden wall paneling, but to actually screw them into the supporting beams.
The perfect home office – at work
It is always worth getting advice from a professional when installing. It is difficult to assess the statics of ceilings and walls yourself. In addition, in rented apartments you always have to get permission from the landlord.
Create a quiet reading corner – attach green plants, a bookcase and a hammock
The hammock is not only perfect for bringing a bit of summer and holiday feeling into the room, but also for lying relaxed and enjoying a good book or an exciting film. If there is an empty corner in the apartment, then it is a perfect space to set up a relaxation zone there.
Lie comfortably and enjoy the reading material - next to the bookshelf
Whether in the living room, of course in front of the fireplace if there is one, or next to the bookshelf, a hammock is always a good idea. A chest of drawers or side table next to it will provide useful storage space to put reading material or a cup of tea.
Scandinavian and cozy living
And if you think that a hammock gives a room design a flair that is far from modern, you are wrong. The visual effect of this depends primarily on what kind of material it is made of. A simple version made of robust sail fabric in a neutral color, such as black, white, cream or gray, fits perfectly with modern furnishings.
Design a corner in the apartment with ethnic flair
Originally, hammocks were made entirely by hand from the bark of the hamak tree and later from sisal. The choice of colors was limited to natural tones that fade beautifully when exposed to the sun. There are now various sustainable materials and colors that look very close to their ancestors and at the same time are robust.
Optimize the smallest areas in the apartment and make them comfortable
Traditionally, there are two types of hammocks – mesh and cloth hammocks. The net hammocks are handcrafted from cotton threads and woven into net fabric. These versions not only look very exotic, they are extremely comfortable and breathable.
Attic in shabby chic
A hammock with knitted or braided elements creates a shabby flair and thus a relaxed atmosphere in the room. The gable roof in this attic, clad with wooden slats and painted white, also adds a romantic country house atmosphere.
Optimize the attic as a relaxation zone
The attic of a mansard apartment or house offers perfect conditions to create an entire relaxation room with several hammocks.
Stands alone on a frame or stand
If there aren't two points at a suitable distance in the room to attach it to, you'll probably need to look for a hammock frame or stand.
Hanging bed in a loft apartment
A mesh hanging bed, like the one pictured, is an excellent solution for utilizing the full height of a loft apartment and serves as a modern replacement for a hammock.
