Hi beauties! Coming at you with the most beautiful farmhouse porch swings I could find! I love the idea of a porch swing. It's just such a cozy place to relax and people watch! So I hit up Pinterest and Instagram to find the best farmhouse porch swing ideas to share for you!

As someone who loves DIY projects, I know how fun it is to create something new out of materials that were lying around the house. That's why I love porch swings! They are a great way to add a unique and inviting element to the front of your home, while giving you the opportunity to repurpose some unused items you may have.

The front porch is the first thing guests see when they come to visit. Make it inviting with a simple yet charming addition like a porch swing.

What Are Farmhouse Porch Swings?

A farmhouse porch swing is a very popular type of porch swing. It's an American-style swing with a low back, wide seat, and a high crossbeam. This style of swing is typically made from wood and has a natural finish or painted. It's typically built out of wood and has a very simple, rustic design. These swings are usually placed on either side of a front door or as part of a seating area on the porch.

The farmhouse porch swing is also known as a glider, which comes from the fact that it can be moved without having to push or pull it. The glider moves by means of gravity, so all you have to do to make it move is sit down on one end and let go at the other end.

There are so many farmhouse porch swing ideas out there but there are a few constants I would recommend when designing your porch swing in the perfect spor.

Material. First, consider the materials you want to use. Real wood swings are probably the most common choice for farmhouse porch swings because they're durable and weather-resistant, but you could also go with pine or cedar if you want something that's a bit more natural looking. Some use metal swings while others may purchase a plastic one.
Size. Next, think about the size of your swing. You will want to measure out the dimensions before making your purchases or building. If it's going to be used by multiple people at once—say, as part of an outdoor seating area—you'll want to make sure it's big enough for everyone who will be using it. On the other hand, if you're looking for something that will seat just one person at a time—like a swing for kids or pets—you can get away with something smaller.
Durable. Consider how much weight you want to put on the swing. When considering weight, keep in mind that children naturally weigh less than adults and can therefore use smaller swings with fewer safety concerns—but only if they are supervised at all times. Do not hang a farmhouse porch swing from anything other than chains or cables—and even then, be sure that those chains or cables are securely fastened! Choose a material that's durable and easy to clean. If your porch swing will be used frequently, make sure it's made of materials that won't fade or wear easily. Also, if your area tends to get wet or muddy, look for a seat that wipes off easily and won't stain.
Style. Consider the style of your house when selecting colors for the swing, and make sure that any materials used are weather resistant (such as metal or wood). You can find many styles of porch swings available—from traditional styles with wooden slats to modern ones with metal frames—so make sure yours matches the style of your house!
Comfort. Include cushions, accent pillows and a throw blanket. You want it to be a cozy nook you can escape to when needing some fresh air.
