Hammocks are the classic staple of relaxation. Whether they’re hung indoors or out, near the pool or in the wilderness, there’s nothing quite like relaxing in the macramé wonders. But hammocks don’t have to be simply hung. There are hundreds of ideas for what to do with the unique, rustic-looking material that will keep your decor and outdoors edgy, modern and fun.
Sitting section
Have you thought about bringing your traditional hammock indoors? It adds an outdoorsy feel and warmth to the room. This would be an especially good idea for beach homes, or if you’re simply feeling artsy.
Kitty corner
Cats love to get themselves into the weirdest places. Embrace your cat’s inner weirdo with this DIY coffee table hammock that’s hung under your favorite space so you and kitty can get some quality comfy time.
Beachy room divider
Think outside the box. The beautiful macramé material most hammocks are made from would make an excellent room divider or wall tapestry. Simply hang lengthwise and voila! You have a repurposed room divider on-the-cheap.
The perfect reading spot
Maybe your backyard doesn’t have the traditional two stumps, but that’s no excuse to not hang a hammock. If you’re feeling crafty, build your own arbor and hang a hammock in between.
Stuffed animal treehouse

Give your yarn a rest
