It’s swing chair heaven! These are fabulous…

So how good are you at chilling out? Do you find it hard to relax or are you one of those people who spends their whole life so chilled you’re basically horizontal? Most of us fall somewhere in between but one thing’s for sure – whoever you are, wherever you’re from, and whatever you’re like, being out in the garden helps us relax. It’s all about the green stuff.

A swing chair is one of the best ways to truly relax, let your troubles drift away, read, play with your phone, have a few bevvies and maybe even nod off for a bit. Surrounded by grass, plants and, if you’re lucky, trees, your mind will feel soothed and your muscles looser. Tensions disappear like smoke as you tune in to the birds singing and the insects buzzing. The very colour green is enough to make us feel calmer and happier. When it’s alive the impact is even stronger. Being out in the fresh air makes the whole lounging experience more magical.

The sound of lawnmowers is evocative of long, hot summer days, along with powerful happiness triggers like music coming from open windows, the happy shouts of children having water fights, and glasses clinking. Add the scent of BBQ food and you’re more or less in a heavenly garden bubble.

Romance is the name of the game for couples. A two or three-person swinging chair is a lovely place to sit and chat, make plans for the future and enjoy each others’ company. You can create a place of wonderful seclusion where you can sit and swing peacefully and privately, or put several chairs in a sociable arrangement, facing each other, for extra-relaxed chatty swinging.

Our collection majors on grey swing chairs but we also have stunning, enormous real wood versions to make your mouth water. We even stock garden swing seats with metal frames and a quirky retro look. And a basket swing seat is one of the most popular designs, available to seat one or two.

But at the end of the day, it’s all about the swing. It brings back happy childhood memories, it soothes you into a lovely free state of mind, the calm flows through you. When you’re after a garden chair to die for, why not make it a swing?

Last but not least, the bit a lot of people love best of all: go accessorise! Colourful scatter cushions, bright fluffy throws and chunky woolly blankets add extra comfort and style, as well as letting you stay cosy outdoors longer and later. You can string solar fairy lights around the frame of some models, or go for bunting. Put an outdoor rug underneath for comfortable bare feet. Anything goes.

Inspired? Take a tour of our small but carefully-chosen swing seats and see which takes your fancy. Because we insist on the best quality, every choice is a good one. Happy chilling!
