The Complete Guide to Macrame Wall Hangings
A macrame wall hanging is one of the most impactful and most misunderstood pieces of wall art you can own. Unlike a framed print, it adds dimension, texture, and a sense of craft that makes a room feel genuinely considered.
Here's everything you need to know before you buy, hang, and style one.
Choosing the Right Size
The most common mistake is going too small. As a rule of thumb:
- Above a sofa or bed: aim for a piece that spans at least 2/3 the width of the furniture below it
- Entryway or hallway: a narrower, taller piece works well to fill vertical space
- Gallery wall: smaller pieces can anchor a mixed arrangement
Where to Hang It
- Living room: above the sofa, fireplace, or as a standalone feature wall
- Bedroom: above the bed as an alternative to a headboard
- Entryway: the first thing guests see make it count
- Home office: adds warmth to an otherwise functional space
Pairing with Other Décor
Macrame pairs beautifully with:
- Rattan and wicker furniture
- Timber shelving and frames
- Linen and cotton soft furnishings
- Terracotta, sage, and warm neutral tones
