Be it for your comfort, passion or exhibition, Jhulas are a must have if your heart says you should have it! This post is not about hammock swing or a light weight Jhula. Here we are talking about those gigantic Jhulas with two colossal feet mostly seen in Darbars of emperors in Mughal era. These Jhulas were usually placed in courtyard, patio or in the living room itself if the space allowed.
Now, if you are following ethnic theme decorating, one of these enormous Jhulas would add up to your decor. Designed in intricate wood or metal carving, these Jhulas sing praises of the old heritage which you have been trying hard to reclaim- via your decor.
When it comes to deciding the type, there are choices- Wooden ones and Metallic ones are popular. You can get them customized or take home the original, depending on how you like them.
Well, spatial constraints might refrain you from unfolding your fantasies, but there is a solution for everything! All you need to know is how to buy, and where to place them at home. When it comes to buying, get the customized ones- which are the replica of the originals, yet somewhat smaller in size- as per your desired dimensions.
Secondly, every small space apartment can't accommodate a gigantic Jhula as such. You need to carve out a space-
Most of them prefer balcony, if it's the only space to equip such an enormous furniture . However, if display/exhibition is your premier aim, you should place the Jhula straightaway in the Living Room. Clear away the unnecessary clutter- I mean useless furniture pieces like ottomans, couches, chairs and side tables. According to Vastu, it's advised to place the Jhula in East-West direction.
