H1: Shop This Season’s Biggest Ikea Hammock & Outdoor Trends
There’s nothing quite like discovering all that Ikea has to offer as it’s one of Australian consumers favourite stores. They have everything you need to set up your home, and just as importantly, they are leaders in providing comfort for outdoor living.
When I was looking at what they could do for my backyard now that the spring sunshine is out, I was delighted to discover they have my favorite outdoor product, a hammock and stand. They also have a range of other goods that will get me through spring and summer and help me make the most of the outdoors.
Come with me as I find all that’s needed to make the most of our yards or decks during this time of the year.
H2: Make Your Garden Comfortable with Sun Loungers & Hammocks
Let’s get relaxed and make the most of seating for outdoor living that invites you to rest and lie back in the garden or by the pool.
The Fredon Hammocks are perfect for lazy afternoons in the shade with a good book or magazine or even a little shut-eye. Its gentle rocking will give you the relaxed state you’re looking for, whether you mount it between trees or using our hammock stand.
There is much to love about this hammock, particularly the side pocket, which is large enough for a book or some magazines and is handy to keep little bits and pieces you may need while you’re relaxing.
Its ease of use makes it an ideal choice for your yard or balcony that can be put away quickly if the weather turns bad. For example, it hangs with hooks, so there’s no need to learn any knots. Designed for one person and holding weight up to 120kg, it’s ideal for busy parents that want some time out to themselves without their little ones climbing all over them.
Ikea is all about making things easier for their customers, which is why the 100% polyester fabric is easily washed by hand and air-dried.
I was delighted to discover IKEA’s Garo Outdoor Hammock Stand because it’s unlike any I have ever seen before. So what makes this one so unique? This grey stand is super easy to move because it has a wheel. To move it about or put it away with ease, all you need to do is tilt the stand and roll it out; it couldn’t get any easier.
The frame is made from powder-coated galvanized steel. There’s no maintenance required, but simply clean it with mild soapy water if it gets a bit grotty.
Ikea has such a great range of outdoor furniture; why not mix it up a little and give the family a choice of what to relax on outside. While a hammock usually is my go-to piece of furniture, they’re not always ideal for the kids.
The Bussan Outdoor Beanbag folds into an easy chair or unfolds into a low lounge. It’s perfect and safe for kids with the child-proof zipper without a pull mechanism. The cover makes it ideal for outdoors and can be taken off and thrown into the wash when needed.
The Applaro Sun Lounger adds to the outdoor ambience and having enough outdoor relaxation options for the whole family. This can be folded completely to lie down or recline in 5 positions. It also has an ambience in durable hardwood to add warmth to the space.
I particularly love that it comes on wheels, so it’s easy to move about. Adding some cushioning or padding to the sun lounger perfectly combines comfort for ultimate relaxation.
H3: Accessories for Perfect Outdoor Relaxation
What we love about these choices for the outdoors is that IKEA caters to the whole family. While I love hammocks and find them easy to get into and comfortable, they aren’t ideal for the entire family. Having a range of seating options outdoors means the whole family can spend time chilling together in furniture that suits them.
I also discovered other items that will pair well with the IKEA hammock and additional seating for relaxation for the whole family. These ensure ultimate comfort on the cooler spring evenings or shade on those hotter summer days.
Enjoying your hammock just got better with Ikea Parasols that perfectly complements outdoor furniture to keep UV rays away and the direct sunlight off your skin. There is a large variety of these to suit all your different needs, some of which can be tilted so you can move them with the sun throughout the day.
The bases are sturdy and don’t require digging holes or hard work, and are simply the matter of popping it all together and tightening. Perhaps one of the most effortless IKEA pieces to put together. These are particularly ideal if you don’t have any backyard shade.
The ideal addition to your outdoor setup, particularly with your hammock, is having some blankets on hand to snuggle on a cooler spring evening or as the days get colder during autumn. These are available in a range of colours and styles, which means you can make your choice on something that will keep you at the right temperature.
We recommend choosing darker colours for outdoors as they are easier to keep clean, especially if the younger family members take it from you to create a fort.
To complete your outdoor space, choosing outdoor or fairy lights means you can enjoy your hammock even after the sun goes down. It adds a warm, soft glow to your outdoor space and means you can enjoy longer days outside.
Whether you like fairy lights, LED solar power pendants, floor lamps or ground sticks, there is something to suit all types of yards and add to the already welcoming outdoor space.
H3: Shop Online for the Ultimate Outdoor Comfort
I was pleased to discover that IKEA has some great outdoor products perfect for the warmer days ahead, particularly the hammock and stand, the ultimate form of lazy day comfort.
One of my favourite features of the hammock is the pocket that holds those little bits and pieces you need for a balanced afternoon of relaxation in the yard.
I’m always looking for a way to hang loose and make the most of being outdoors during the warmer months, and I love that I can go to one store and get everything I need. There’s no need to travel from store to store when you can enjoy the delights of all that IKEA has to offer.
