Hanging Rattan Chair: My Favorites!

In this post: A hanging rattan chair can be the perfect cozy addition to your bedroom or porch – you can’t go wrong by choosing one of these favorites! (post include some affiliate links – full disclosure statement {here})

Five great choices for hanging swing chairs for your bedroom, patio, or even your living room!

one     |      two     |      three     |      four     |      five (similar)

I’m jumping into working on a makeover of my youngest daughter’s bedroom which has a bare corner that would be perfect for a big, comfy chair. My daughter knows exactly what she wants – a hanging rattan swing chair like this one:

A hanging rattan chair in a girl's bedroom - so cute and fun!

Serena & Lily

She shares her mom’s taste! I’ve always loved the idea of a hanging rattan chair out on the porch that you could curl up in to read a good book:

Porch lined with hanging rattan chairs - so dreamy!

Serena & Lily

I definitely need to do some legwork to figure out how to safely hang one of these hanging chairs – it’s a no-go if I can’t be 100% sure it’s securely fastened to the ceiling! And then there are all of the options – there are so many gorgeous ones!! These are just a few of my favorites: 

Serena & Lily’s Hanging Rattan Chair which has a classic design that would look good in pretty much any space you put it in (and is also available in white!):  

LOVE this hanging rattan chair - lots of great options in this post!

Another option is Two’s Company’s Hanging Rattan Chair – based on the reviews this chair might not be the best choice for adults because it’s pretty small but it might be perfect for a kid. Update – it’s no longer available but {this swing chair} is a great option!

 

And if you like the look of a colored chair instead of a natural one, these hanging rattan chairs from Pier 1 are super cute. There are several colors to choose from but the gray is my favorite:
 Love these hanging rattan swing chairs - lots of other cute options in this post!

You could even decide to go all the way and spring for a double like this beautiful hanging chair from Serena & Lily if you have the space

Fit for two! Love this double hanging rattan chair!

So, what do you think, should I go for it?

Update: I decided on a {this hanging chair} for my daughter’s room – check it out in her room {here}

Loving this hanging swing chair! So perfect for a kids room!!

So many cute hanging swing chairs in this post!

    Yes, you should and it can be safe. You need to make sure it is bolted into your ceiling joist. Did you see that Pier 1 has some? The Ikea one looks like it would be easier to get in and out of.

      Thanks for the tip about Pier 1 – I haven’t shopped there in so long that I didn’t think about checking there!

      It can be really safe! I got one on amazon for 50 dollars but is more of a hammock 🙂
      P.S I am sitting in it now….

      We’ve got one up now too! We had someone hang it for us – glad we did because I feel like it’s 100% secure!

      It’s funny that you mention that your friend has one for each girl because I know that that if I get one for my youngest daughter, my oldest one is going to be asking for one too…

    Another option is hanging hammock chair which is more casual from Hammock online-more rattan ropes but comfy and we also have one from RSH catalog that is also hammock but comes with really cute cushions so it is dressy. Both have lasted through teens and is bolted to anchor in ceiling joist. We also have IKEA swing in basement that I can’t tell you how many teens have fun on that thru the years. Definately get one. They are comfortable. It will be used thru years by kids coming to her room. EVERYONE thinks its cool. Don’t go cheap as my first is now fraying and I took down after 4 years. Worth up to $300 as not grow out.Also if get hammock one with upper crossbar & near wall, we cut pink tennis ball in 1/2 and placed on ends of cross sticks not bang and mark wall as someone swings around.If I had to do again I would get Serena on sale if that is look. Now knowing that at age 16 she still uses.

    Also the difference between hammock and that hanging chair is there is no outside hard frame-I notice in all those pictures that it costs more and is well made-but I bet that frame bar is hard and uncomfortable under legs and that is why there is a cushion on them.Just note.In a rattan hammock you can push your feet out and lean back in it and you can’t in those pictured.

      I’m excited to hear how this works for you if you do decide to get one. I know both of my girls would love one. One of my concerns is them putting their feet on the walls to spin the chair.

      Yup, you’re right – scrapes and scuffs on the walls would probably go right along with one of these chairs…

    I’d start stalking Craigslist. It’s a cute, whimsical look, but for that price I’m not sure I’d go for it.

      I’ve never been one to snag a lucky Craigslist find but maybe this will be the time I do. Let the stalking begin…

    Kris, I got hanging chairs for my kids a couple years ago for Christmas. Unfortunately when we hung them in their bedroom ceilings, the chairs were too close to the ground and there was no way to shorten the way they hung (they had a spring attached to them). I sold them, but I think I will definitely do another hanging chair that is not so low (possibly the Ikea one which is so affordable). I didn’t take that into consideration when I bought them. Also they can be hung safely in the support beams of the ceiling, but make sure it’s the beam and not just strapping (I made several holes in the ceiling before I went up to attic and drilled down into the bedroom from right next to the beam, so I would know exactly where to hang it.) Another option is the hanging chair that comes with a stand at Pier1 – just sat in it yesterday and it’s sooooo comfy!!! Then you don’t have to hang it from your ceiling!

      That’s really helpful info Lisa – our new house has low ceilings (less than 8′ in some rooms) – I never thought about the possibility of the chair hanging too low. That would be the worst to buy one and realize that it won’t work. I think I might take my youngest to Pier1 today and check out their hanging chairs – they are on sale now and when we looked at them online this morning we realized that they have a cup holder, which she thought was super cool! Have a great weekend!

    I bought the same hanging rattan swing from Pier 1 that you put in your daughters room. My handyman is concerned it’s so heavy that it won’t be safe to hang from a joist in the ceiling. Can you share how you secured it into the ceiling or any tips for hanging it? Thank you so much-I really appreciate it!

      Hi Jill,
      My contractor actually secured two blocks of wood to neighboring joists, place a piece of wood between the two blocks (on top of them), fastening them down with screws and then hung the chair from that. He had hung several punching bags that way and it has held my daughter’s chair very securely!
