Ham(mock) it up with American Legend Homes

The lazy days of summer are upon us and what better way to enjoy them than in a hammock. Most of us think hammocks are just for outside, but our American Legend designers have some creative ways you can take advantage of a hammock inside your home! Here are a few of their tips:

Replace furniture with a hammock: Many hammocks, like this one and this one, come with hammock stands so there is no installation necessary. And you can easily move them outdoors when the weather cools. If you want to install a hammock, we LOVE this one. And here are super easy instructions for installing it in your home.  

Bunk beds: Replace the bottom bunk of a kids bunk bed with a hammock and it’s the perfect spot for reading and relaxing. Check out this article for a visual.

Hammock chair: While it’s not a traditional hammock, this hammock chair gives you the same vibe while taking up less space. Just add a side table with a stack of books and you’re good to go. 

Hammock bed: This “floating bed” will be a hit with your teenagers. It’s the perfect place to chill and watch a movie on an iPad or take an afternoon nap. It would also look great in your American Legend media room!
