Time to take your porch to the next level. Nothing says sunny days are here like a swinging chair where you can kick back with a good book, feel the summer breeze, and just relax. The best piece for the job? We're partial to hanging egg chairs, which feel effortlessly chic and timeless both indoors or out. Put them by your pool, pair them with other outdoor furniture, or even bring them into the living room or bedroom to add instant coziness and style. Of course, there are plenty of styles to choose from, from boho natural rattan to modern black colorways. Here, a closer look at some of our favorites to get your summertime shopping list started.

Peacock Hanging Chair

Anthro’s Peacock chair is a classic for a reason—swirling rattan designs make it one of the most beautiful hanging chairs on the market, and natural, indigo, and white color options make it incredibly versatile. Sealed with a clear lacquer for durability, it even comes with cushions, so you can get straight to lounging.

An Anthropologie reviewer says: "This chair is a wonderful addition to our porch. Favorite spot for my 7-year-old daughter to sit and read."

Hanging Rattan Chair

If any brand can make your beachy, sunkissed porch dreams come true, it’s Serena & Lily. Its egg chair is a tried-and-true item in the company’s repertoire, available in both natural and white color options. Snag some fun pillows for an extra pop of pattern!

Wicker Hanging Chair

It may not be quite as egg-shaped as some of the other options on this list, but when it comes to affordability, this chair can’t be beat. Available in a wide range of frame and cushion colors, the wicker seat can also be purchased with a metal frame to hang it from for an additional fee.

An Amazon reviewer says: "Bought to hang from ceiling in daughter's room. Size is great for kids and adults. Sturdy and easily foldable if we need to take down and store."

1-Person Egg Chair

This Wayfair option gives the boho look on a budget. Designed to look like a wicker basket, this egg chair creates a total sense of privacy, so it’s a great option for those looking to catch up on their summer reading list. A chain to hang it and cushions are also included.

A Wayfair reviewer says: "I'm OBSESSED with my chair! I don't know what else to say. I got it with the black cushion and it matches my Article deck sofa perfectly."

Knotted Melati Hanging Chair

This chair is one of Anthro’s top-rated products, so you know it’s going to be great. Its intricate patterns are woven by hand, so no two chairs will be exactly the same, giving the whole thing a natural, organic look. Note that hanging hardware is not included, so there is some extra legwork involved with purchase.

An Anthropologie reviewer says: "We bought one and loved it so much that we bought a second. I was tired of fighting my kids for a seat! It’s at our beach house overlooking the water and it’s my favorite place to relax."

Nanna Ditzel Hanging Egg Chair

Those who appreciate the classics will gravitate toward this midcentury staple, which was originally designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1959. Elegant, no frills, and, best of all, it will never go out of style. Available in both natural and black rattan.

Crew Outdoor Hanging Chair

Arhaus has myriad stylish outdoor furniture offerings, and among them is a curvy hanging chair available in both natural and black rattan. The cushions can be customized as well and come in gray and white color options.

Egg Chair

Not every egg chair has to break the bank. This one from Lowe’s is remarkably affordable and comes with cushions to round out the handwoven rattan look.

Pod Hanging Outdoor Chair

There’s something instantly elegant about this egg chair, which is woven by hand with faux wicker. Classic and timeless without looking too samey, it’s the ideal lounging spot for any porch.

A CB2 reviewer says: "The chair is gorgeous! And the comfort far exceeds my expectations. Roomy and cozy."

Calliope Wicker Hanging Egg Chair

The intricate weave of Sparrow & Wren’s hanging chair gives it more of a bohemian vibe, and accompanying cushions add maximum comfort. It’s another egg seat that comes with a frame too, so no lengthy installation required!

Hive Outdoor Hanging Chair

We love this subtle, geometric twist on the hanging chair formula. Instead of a totally curvaceous seat, this one plays with geometries, creating a slightly more angular egg silhouette. It’s also among the most versatile of the bunch, as buyers can purchase a separate base with legs to transform the suspended furnishing into a regular, grounded chair.

Swing Chair with Stand

Keep the party going both indoors and out. Langley Street's hanging chair is durable (and stylish) enough to work in all environments, and comes in both gray and beige color options. Even better, the cushions are included, and come with removable covers that make cleaning a breeze.

San Blas Rattan Outdoor Hanging Chair

Want the boho look? Get it here. San Blas takes inspiration from Danish hanging chairs of the 1950s, so it feels both vintage and modern. The curvy rattan frame is bent by hand, and makes for a stylish statement on your living room or porch.

Egg Swing Chair with Stand

Looking for a deal? Look no further. This egg chair brings plenty of style and comfort—without breaking the bank. It's made of high performance materials, so it works indoors and outdoors, and the cushions are available in both neutral and bold color options.

An Amazon reviewer says: "I had been on the fence about buying a chair like this for awhile but this one was on sale so I figured I’d give it a try. So glad I did! It is very comfy and spacious. Looks great on my porch and doesn’t take up too much space."

Brisa Rattan Outdoor Hanging Lounge Chair

In the summer, egg chairs are the best place to catch up on your reading list. A seat like this one makes that even easier, as it's roomy enough for curling up with a book or lounging with a cocktail. Plus, the rattan weave and cushions (included with purchase) give it a breezy, elevated look.

Encase Outdoor Lounge Chair

If you're looking for a chair with an elegant-yet-intricate woven structure, this will be your new go-to. It's also super cozy, and includes a frame, so you won't have to hang it from the ceiling. The cushions are available in both neutral and colorful hues.

An AllModern reviewer says: "Love it! Very comfortable, looks great, adds a lovely focal point and spot to relax on my patio. Very happy with my purchase. It was easy to set up."

Astraya Porch Swing

Ready to swing the day away? Porch chairs don't get any chicer than this one, which comes with water-resistant cushions and features a chic rattan weave.

An AllModern reviewer says: "Beautiful swing chair! Seems sturdy, and was easy to put together by myself."
