Do You Have a Swing on Your Property?
Lately I am loving swings hung indoors, like the one in Padma Lakshmi's home. But really nothing beats an old swing hung from a sturdy tree outside. I love the idle oscillation of a heavy wooden bench.
Guess Who Has a Swing in Her Living Room?
When she's not filming a reality show, designing a line of Indian-inspired jewelry, modeling, cooking, or acting, you might find the woman shown here swinging on the handmade swing in the living room of her downtown Manhattan apartment. Who is she?

Crave Worthy: Droog's Swing With the Plants
If the Modern Cove was too tame for your jungle-inspired living room then let me introduce you to another swaying furniture option. Droog's Swing With the Plants ($550) will fit nicely into a botanically-themed room. Designed by Marcel Wanders, who was elected as “Designer of the Year 2005/2006” by Elle Decoration International Design Awards, the swing embodies his inventive style.
Crave Worthy: Modern Cove
Whether you hang this from a tree in your backyard or integrate it into a beach house living room, the Urban Balance Cove ($998) will add a coveted seating area to your home. I love this piece in part because it strikes the perfect compromise between the needs for childhood fun and adult design. It'll look great in a grown-up design scheme, while still giving your guests a whimsical place to sit.

Love It or Hate It? A Barn Door in a Modern Home
This master suite features a barn door in a very modern color. Since it's much too big to swing open, the barn door has been fitted on a track, so it slides open and closed. I love how the less refined door contrasts with the chandelier showcased in the bathroom beyond.

When furnishing this year's Hampton Designer Showhouse, Manhattan-based interior designer Brad Ford made the unusual, and delightful, decision to replace sofas with porch swings. Inspired by Ford's out-of-the-box decision, I decided to check out some other hanging furniture that would look great on the inside of your home.
