Hanging Furniture in Interior Design: 30 Inspiring Examples

While bedside tables and wardrobes are fairly straightforward, hanging beds and chairs attached to ropes, cables, or even freely suspended provoke mixed feelings. How practical, functional, and safe is it? This kind of interior design appeals not only to adults but especially to children.

Strong walls It's important to note that hanging furniture can only be safely supported by strong walls or ceilings. Therefore, it's best to install them on load-bearing walls or ceilings for maximum safety.

Hanging furniture is creative For modern homes, hanging furniture fits perfectly—it's not boring, and can even be considered artistic.

Bed in mid-air An interesting design is a bed that hovers above the floor, made as a single solid unit. When combined with built-in lighting, it creates a floating effect. This also makes navigation easier at night.

Hanging beds attached to the ceiling or wall are especially loved by children. Particularly when made from ropes or cables and slightly swaying.

Hanging furniture expands space Thanks to these pieces, part of the room’s space is freed up, making the room feel more open and airy. Cleaning becomes easier, and clutter underneath doesn’t accumulate.

Combining hanging shelves and a chair creates a stylish look. Note: chairs don’t have to be fixed to walls or ceilings—mobile versions on stands are also available.

Types of hanging chairs Today, there are many types of hanging chairs. The most popular include the spherical chair (resembling a soap bubble), woven rattan nest chairs, and hammock-style chairs.

Eco-friendly and stylish One of the advantages of hanging furniture is that it’s mostly made from environmentally safe materials like rattan, fabric, and wicker. Some models are made from plastic and acrylic as well.

Use in different rooms Hanging furniture is used not only in children’s rooms and bedrooms but also on kitchens as shelves, and in living rooms. Hanging display cabinets can replace traditional sideboards. They look elegant and unique.

You can store various items, collections, or travel souvenirs in them. If your living room features one or more hanging chairs, your guests will surely feel comfortable.

In bathrooms, hanging shelves and cabinets are perfect because they don’t clutter space and make cleaning easier. All corners remain clearly visible.

Any space with hanging furniture feels light and comfortable. Plus, it saves valuable floor space.
