Outdoor Swing Decoration Ideas

I have found that an outdoor swing is a relaxing addition to my home. I prefer to keep my outdoor space simple and uncluttered. However, I have also seen some chic patios, whose designs centered on an outdoor swing. If this is the design you’re after, try one or more of these additions to take your outdoor swing and porch to the next level.

• Add outdoor curtains to one side of your covered patio or porch. These are made from materials suitable for outdoor use and may be either opaque or sheer.
• Adorn your outdoor swings with a couple throw pillows, instead of cushions.
• Choose other patio furniture that matches the shade of the your outdoor swing.
• Place a large outdoor rug in front of your swing.
• Pair the outdoor swing with a coordinating rocker or hammock. Place these in a position facing the swing, so a group of people can hold a conversation together.
• Use a wood storage chest for outdoor storage and as a coffee or side table.
• Sprinkle potted flowers or planters around your patio area.

Indoor and outdoor styles of decoration have long been two separate categories. But now, the two are often seen intermingled. As you search for additional ways to decorate the area around your outdoor swing, imagine what indoor elements you could bring to the outdoors. This might open up a long list of possibilities you had never considered before. But when you try them, these ideas work.
