How to Style Macramé Wall Hangings

Last updated: 23 Jul 2026

Macramé wall art is one of the easiest ways to add texture and warmth to a plain wall — no drilling patterns to plan, no large investment, and it suits almost any room. Here's how to pick a piece and place it well.

Where macramé works best

Macramé reads as a soft, neutral accent, which makes it flexible: above a sofa or console table, beside a doorway, in a reading nook, or as a single statement piece on an otherwise empty wall. Because most designs use natural cotton with an accent colour, they pair easily with both warm wood tones and cooler, minimal interiors.

Choosing a design

Our Evil Eye Macramé Wall Hanging works well as a single focal piece near an entrance or workspace — the round shape and blue accent give it a clean, graphic look that doesn't need much else around it. The Tree of Life Macramé Wall Hanging comes as a set of two, which is ideal if you want to create a small cluster rather than one large piece — try hanging them at slightly different heights rather than in a perfectly straight line for a more natural look.

Sizing for your wall

As a rough guide: for a wall above a sofa or console, leave roughly 15–20cm of breathing room on either side of the hanging so it doesn't feel cramped against the furniture below. For a narrow hallway or beside a door, a single round piece usually reads better than trying to fill the whole space.

Caring for macramé

• Dust gently with a soft brush or the brush attachment on a vacuum, every few weeks.
• Avoid direct, prolonged sunlight — it can fade the cotton and any coloured accents over time.
• If it picks up odour or light dust build-up, a gentle hand-shake outdoors is usually enough; avoid machine washing.
• Keep away from damp walls or bathrooms, since cotton macramé can hold moisture.
