For hard-working homeowners who are simply looking for the perfect place to relax without booking a spa getaway, a hammock can help to complete your space. Whether you want to add this accent to your backyard or your living room, we’ve curated our favourite ways to decorate with a hammock this summer.

Add black and white abstract printed pillows for the perfect finish: While a neutral hammock may look uninspiring and plain on its own, decorating with gorgeous accent cushions is a smart decorative move. Turn to a selection of black and white patterned pillows for an instantly contrasting and chic effect.

Turn to a striking ivory patio and seaside inspired décor: If you’re looking to transport yourself to the islands this season, there’s no need to plan the ultimate vacation and splurge on a resort. Add a simple beige hammock to a patio with cozy ivory seats,  white wooden flooring and fresh florals.

Accessorize your indoor hammock with hardwood floors and neutral furniture: Although you can certainly adorn the outside of your property with a hammock, this cozy suspended accessory is also a perfect fit for the great indoors. Decorate with a white hammock, and combine this statement piece with gleaming dark hardwood floors and an off-white sofa. Meanwhile, dark brown wicker chairs, beige area rugs and lush greenery help to create a relaxing space.
