You might already know that egg chairs have many uses. They can be used as a place to relax or a quiet spot to catch up on some reading. They are comfortable, stylish, and versatile, so, it’s no wonder these chairs have become a must-have item for your home in 2022. But did you know that an egg chair can be a staple furniture piece indoors and the ultimate garden statement outdoors? Yes, it’s true!
A free-standing swing chair can be moved from indoors to outdoors when the mood strikes you. It could be placed on the lawn or patio on a hot summer’s day, or next to a fireplace in the living room on a cold, dark night. Because of its versatility, a hanging egg chair can be used for so much more than the usual outdoor sun lounging. You can use it in unique ways, for activities or as a tool to improve your interior decor.
To discover what it can do for you, read our 7 egg-cellent and egg-straordinary uses for egg chairs below.
No.1 Add A Reading Nook
One of the best parts about a hanging swing chair is its encapsulating design. It creates a snug and cosy seating area that cannot be challenged by an everyday sofa, armchair, or dining room chair. It’s the perfect place to unwind with your favourite novel. We suggest dedicating an hour or two in the evenings after work to prioritise yourself and fully relax with a chapter or two. For those who enjoy reading and find it soothing, you will most likely already have a room in your home where you retreat for this. It could be a bedroom, the living room, a conservatory, or even the kitchen. Place your egg chair in an unused area in this room or switch it up and create a new reading nook in a completely different room.
No.2 Take Advantage Of Your View
It’s hard not to let the stresses and worries of everyday life consume us. We can sometimes forget what we quite literally have on our doorsteps. Nature is something that we often overlook when rushing to get from one task to another, but it shouldn’t be ignored nonetheless. The outdoors has many benefits and can help improve your memory, make you feel happier, and limit your stress. Take a few minutes out of your day to become at one with nature. The calmness and quiet chirping of birds is sometimes all you need to rejuvenate your mind and get you ready for the day ahead. An egg chair is one way to appreciate the outdoors in all its glory. Position your comfy swing chair towards the view in your garden or facing a large window indoors with a view to the outside.
No.3 Create A Window Seat
Did you ever fantasise about owning a home with a window seat as a child? Maybe the dumbwaiter from Home Alone was your ultimate dream, or perhaps you thought of nothing else other than a spiral staircase? Unfortunately, we can’t help with the latter, but those who pictured themselves lounging on a seat next to a window are in luck. Sadly, not everyone’s budget will stretch to a custom-made window seat, after all, they are quite costly, but an egg chair can offer just as much (if not more) in terms of comfort and aesthetics. This chair’s high sides create a cradling effect while its cushioned seat makes it perfect for prolonged sitting.
No.4 Fill An Empty Space
You know that awkward corner in your home that doesn’t seem to be suitable for anything. A corner bookcase is too small, a sideboard is too big. It just can’t seem to fit any item of furniture. Well, now you have a solution - an egg chair. A hanging swing chair with a stand is all that you need to fill that empty space and create a cosy corner simultaneously.
No.5 Educate Yourself
There is no harm in picking up a new skill in the evenings, and an egg chair could help you along this personal journey of yours. Educating yourself doesn’t have to mean going to a physical college, especially not now with the help of technology. Learn a new language, develop a new skill all from the comfort of your own home, and egg chair. A swing chair could be your new knitting location or somewhere you can enhance your skillset. It really is the perfect chair for studying because it will help you to ignore any disturbances with its encapsulating design.
No.6 Make a Space to Unwind
Maybe reading isn’t your thing, and that’s ok. Everyone has their own unique way to relax. Mindfulness and mental health is something that we are more aware of in today’s climate, and if you ask us, it’s about time. Improving your mental health can include exercises such as meditation, listening to a favourite podcast or audiobook, or writing in a daily gratitude journal. An egg chair offers the perfect location for these activities. Its cocoon-like effect will also help you to block out the noise and distractions which can often surround you.
No.7 Design An Eye-Catching Statement
Sometimes all you really need is an aesthetically pleasing addition to your home. You may want to create an indoor zen garden with a boho theme, and a woven, swing chair is exactly what you need to create this. Impress your friends and family with an eye-catching statement and fill the surrounding space with your favourite things.
Now that you have 7 reasons to invest in an egg chair, your next step is to style it in the best way possible. Wicker baskets are perfect for keeping throws and cushions nearby. For flooring, a rug can help to enhance the cosiness of the space and don’t forget to place a light source on a side table next to your chair if you plan on reading in the evenings etc.
