Styling your swing bed is like decorating a mini living room — but outside! Mixing and matching cushions and textiles gives your swing a custom, designer look that feels personal, cozy, and put-together. Here’s how to do it right:
1. Start with a Foundation Color
Choose a neutral base like soft gray, cream, or tan for your main mattress cushion or seat. This helps other patterns and colors shine.
2. Add Contrast with a Bold Color or Two
Accent with bold or saturated colors like navy, coral, or olive green. If your swing is outdoors year-round, go for UV-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella or Sundown Agora [1].
3. Mix Patterns with Intention
Follow the “rule of three”:
- One large-scale pattern (like stripes or florals)
- One small-scale print (like polka dots or pinstripes)
- One solid or subtle texture to balance it all
4. Use the Color Wheel
Pick complementary colors (opposites like blue and orange) for energy, or analogous colors (neighbors like teal and green) for a calming effect.
5. Play with Texture
Don’t just rely on prints. Add depth with different textures: woven linen, canvas, or nubby acrylic blends create a layered, high-end feel.
6. Think Seasonally
Rotate pillow covers seasonally! Use cool tones and light fabrics in spring/summer, and switch to rich, cozy shades for fall.
