The 7 Best Macrame Wall Hangings of 2019

Best for Living Room: SunWoven Natural Wall Hanging 

Your living space is probably where you do most of your entertaining, so it’s important to pick your best pieces to proudly display for your guests. The SunWoven Natural Wall Hanging from West Elm is a beautiful hand-woven wall hanging made in a small studio in South Carolina. It measures 13 inches wide and 30 inches long and is made from wool and cotton yarn with metallic ribbon embellishments. It’s the perfect size to display in a gallery wall or hanging above your favorite reading chair. While it’s more of a weaving than full-fledged macrame, it carries the same boho chic appeal.

We love the soft cloud design and neutral colors that go with any palette. This stunning piece is the perfect splurge for any home.

Best for Nursery: studioshepherd Rainbow Wall Hanging 

Pinterest trends prove that macrame and woven wall hangings in a nursery are a big hit right now. A wall hanging is a beautiful way to add texture and dimension to your baby’s room and liven up the space without fussing with wallpaper. This Rainbow Wall Hanging from Etsy shop studioshepherd is a bit different than our other macrame options, but it’s the perfect accessory for any nursery. This coiled-fiber rainbow hanging is made from 100 percent cotton rope and cotton-blend fibers, measures 12 inches by 15 inches and looks great above a crib or a changing table. Each coil forms a band of the rainbow, with some macrame-inspired fringe to tie the piece together.

The seller takes about three to five days to create each handmade item, so bear that in mind if you have a deadline.

Best DIY: MonacoFibers DIY Kit 

Feeling crafty? Put your own stamp on your macrame wall hanging with this MonacoFibers DIY Kit sold on Etsy. This convenient set includes everything you need to learn how to do macrame and create an adorable little piece you’ll be proud to show off. Each kit comes with a wooden dowel, pre-measured 100-percent cotton rope, a set of instructions and two S-hooks to secure the piece while you’re knotting. The final product is roughly 10 inches by 20 inches, which is just the right size for a bedroom or for hanging above a desk.

Reviewers say the instructions are easy to follow and the knotting techniques are fairly simple, even for the beginning crafter. If you want a macrame wall hanging you can create yourself, the MonacoFibers piece is beautiful and easy.

Best Budget: Timeyard Macrame Woven Wall Hanging 

While a gallery wall can be a stunning addition to your home, it can add up budget-wise and quickly become a costly endeavor. But this attractive Timeyard Macrame Woven Wall Hanging is under $20, although you’d never guess it by looking at it. It measures 14 inches by 33 inches and has a 16-inch wooden dowel for hanging. It’s made from natural cotton rope and features a slightly simpler pattern than some of our other picks, which makes it a great choice for a busy gallery wall.

All in all, this wall hanging is a great choice for anyone who wants to test out the macrame trend on a budget.

Best Extra-Large: Flber Macrame Backdrop 

Whether you want to fill the awkward space behind your couch or you’re hunting for the perfect backdrop to a boho-inspired wedding ceremony, we love the Fiber Macrame Backdrop. This stunning piece runs 42 inches by 35 inches and adds a touch of hippie flair to any space. Made from cotton rope, this large hanging features an eye-catching seashell-like pattern that isn’t overly busy. String this backdrop from a dried piece of driftwood to really complete the look.

Owners love the quality and design of this Fiber piece, though they do note that the listed measurements apply when the piece is fully taut.

Best Colored: Brooklyner Macrame Wall Hanging Woven Tapestry 

Most macrame pieces are ivory or off-white, but this Brooklyner Macrame Wall Hanging Woven Tapestry adds a gorgeous splash of blue to make it really stand out. The piece measures 14.5 inches by 23.6 inches and is made from 5 mm diameter cotton cord. The wide knot pattern is accented by two deep-blue chevron strips woven into its center. It’s the perfect accessory for minimalist homes that could use a subtle pop of color.

Customers note that this hanging looks and feels like something that should cost double the price. Since it’s on the medium-sized side, it’s the perfect piece to use above a desk or in an underutilized corner.

Best Planter: Mkono Macrame Plant Hanger 

You’ve probably seen a million macrame plant hangers online — they’re a big part of the trend’s popularity — but this Mkono Macrame Plant Hanger works equally well as a piece of decor and a container for your greenery. This sturdy wall planter measures about 40 inches long and can accommodate a planter up to 7 inches in diameter. It features a metal ring that allows it to hang flush against a wall (though some reviewers hang theirs from the ceiling). We love the Mkono because it’s the perfect way to add a bit of lushness to your walls.

Whether you’re showcasing ceramic or glass planters, try this wall plant hanger in a bathroom, bedroom or office.
