Awesome! Can this bed/lounge be hung up higher to make it a loft? - I have a small room with very high ceilings and would like to apply this as a loft? Do u think that could be done with or without additional support? TIA! »

MCM Design Not sure hanging a bed too high would be a good idea, given the risk of falling out.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Where and How to Toss the Throw Pillows

A hanging bed is a great spot for some throw pillows.

added by Lily Gahagan to Houzz Escape: Cut Out to the Caribbean

How about the islands of the Caribbean? I don't know about you, but I can practically feel that island sun now.

added by Becky Harris to Fun Furniture: Chairs in the Air

Give a spectacular view its due.This hanging bed is the ultimate spot for relaxing and enjoying a tropical paradise.

added by Becky Harris to Porch Chat: Sleeping Porches

This bed will gently rock with the breeze, whether you're catching a few winks or settling in for the night.

added by Lawrence Karol to Expert Talk: Porch Swings Sway Into Sweet Life

Take advantage of the view. "This hanging bed is located in the tower of a villa at Jumby Bay in Antigua, West Indies," says Robert Moreland of MCM Architects. "Jumby Bay is a flat island, so the tower provides a great vantage point to overlook the island and the sea. There's also more of a breeze the higher up you are, so the idea of putting a hanging bed here seemed perfect for enjoying the cool breeze while being gently rocked as you nap or read a book."

added by Shawn Gauthier to How to Pick an Outdoor Bed That Rises and Shines

Use a roof to add style. If you have strong roof supports overhead, consider the unique look of a swinging outdoor bed. “What makes daybeds so inviting is their oversize and relaxed nature,” says Martha Carvalho of Urrutia Designs. “Style them with pillows. The size, colors and arrangement of the pillows will define the character of the daybed and ultimately of your outdoor space.”

added by Lisa Frederick to Give Your Hot-Climate Home a Fall Feel

Create a Spot for Getting CozySuspended from chains, this outdoor bed combines the breezy comfort of a hammock with the cuddle-up style of a cushioned chaise. The persimmon-orange fabric adds a nice autumnal note.
