What Are Garden Swing Advantages?
A garden swing is a dreamy piece that allows relaxing very well, taking a nap, a sip or wine or reading something. If covered with a roof or at least placed in a shady nook, it can give you some outdoor sleeping space, too. A garden swing is quite an easy DIY project that most of us will be able to realize, and it won’t require much money, effort or skill.

How Should A Garden Swing Look?
First of all, define the function: is it a seat, a seat for two or a bed? According to that, define and size and length of the swing. Second, find out the style of your outdoor space and stick to it: a cottage space will fit a white bench, a farmhouse space will be a nice backdrop for a stained swing and so on. If you are going to build a garden swing, prepare some wood and metal, rope or chain to hang your swing on, and cover the wood with some sealants to let them withstand harsh weather conditions. As for the roof, it can be covered with simple corrugated steel to prevent your suffering from excessive sun.

How To Style A Garden Swing?
Add upholstery and pillows to make your swing more comfortable, that’s essential and I would even attach them somehow to sleep and sit as comfortable as possible. If it’s a trellis bench, cover it with blooming and just green vines to make it look ultimate and to turn it into amazing garden decor. If it’s not a trellis, surround the swing with greenery and blooms, make shelves on it to place some planters. The last but not least idea is painting your swing to give it a desired look.
