Swing Dimensions & Sizes

There’s something wonderfully nostalgic—and utterly luxurious—about a swing. Whether nestled indoors in a sun-drenched alcove or placed outdoors under leafy boughs, a swing transforms ordinary space into a haven of calm. Beyond just a seat, it becomes a gentle escape, swaying softly with the breeze or the quiet hum of conversation. At Sidqa, our swings are handcrafted to merge comfort, beauty, and enduring craftsmanship, adding a touch of magic to any setting.

**.. Width

Our swings typically measure 6 to 6.5 feet wide, which is similar to a standard three-seater sofa. This offers ample seating for comfort and spacious lounging.

For smaller spaces or cozier arrangements, you can choose a two-seater swing around 5 feet wide.

**.. Seat Depth & Height

The seat depth ranges from 22 to 25 inches, ensuring a comfortable posture, much like a living room sofa.

The total depth from front to back, including the swing’s frame, is typically 25 to 30 inches.

Seat height is around 17 to 18 inches, keeping it easy to sit and rise without strain.

 

**.. Hanging Height

Most swings hang 18 to 24 inches above the floor, allowing a graceful sway while maintaining comfort. We recommend measuring your space carefully to ensure the swing doesn’t hang too low or obstruct views.

**.. Hanging Materials

Choose natural ropes for a rustic, handcrafted look, or steel chains for strength and a contemporary finish. Both are designed to safely hold the swing’s weight and occupants.

**.. Design Tips for Choosing Your Swing

Think of Your View: Position your swing where it frames a beautiful outdoor scene or an architectural feature indoors—it becomes both a seat and a statement piece.

Choose Materials to Suit Your Style: Ropes bring softness and a coastal or boho vibe; metal chains feel more modern and sleek. Consider the visual weight and texture in your décor.

Balance Scale in the Room: A large swing makes a grand statement but ensure there’s enough clearance on all sides for safe movement without bumping walls or furniture.

Layer with Cushions: Luxurious cushions and throws not only enhance comfort but add colour, pattern, and personality to your swing.

Don’t Forget the Ceiling: Make sure your ceiling or beam can handle the swing’s load. Sidqa can advise on safe installation for different ceiling types.

Play with Hanging Heights: A lower swing feels relaxed and lounge-like; a slightly higher hang can look more sculptural and elegant.

Consider Indoor vs Outdoor Use: Outdoor swings need weather-resistant finishes and fabrics. Indoors, you have more freedom with delicate finishes and plush fabrics.

Tip:
Think of your swing as you would a sofa: measure the space where you’d place it, check ceiling height for adequate hanging clearance, and ensure room for movement around it. If in doubt, our designers are ready to guide you through selecting the perfect size and proportions for your home here.
