Large Woven Wall Hanging, 39 in Swag Fan for Above the Bed

Marginal. The usual guide is roughly two thirds the width of the furniture below. That puts 100 cm comfortably over a double headboard and slightly narrow over a king at around 180 cm.

No. It is a landscape rectangle, wider than it is tall. In a tall narrow gap it will not fit at all, and one of the vertical banners in this collection is the right shape instead.

No, and this is the nicest thing about the piece. The lattice appears only where the swags cross each other in the middle. It is a consequence of the geometry rather than something added afterwards.

Cream if you want texture that recedes on a pale wall. Sage if you want color that stays quiet. Indigo if you want the piece to be the focal point of the wall on its own.

It is fine cord rather than heavy rope, so it is lighter than it looks for its size, but with no figure from us we will not put a number on it.

Leave a hand's width or so between the top of the headboard and the bottom of the piece. Too high and it floats; sitting on the headboard and it looks stuck to it.

Vacuum on low suction, working along the swags rather than across them. Do not wash it: the swag shape depends on even tension and wetting it will pull it out of true.

No published guidance exists. The loops are fixed at both ends to the batten, so unlike a loose fringe there is nothing hanging under its own weight, which is the usual cause of sag.

Above a bed, above a three seat sofa, or above a long console. The three room photographs use exactly those. Anywhere landscape and wide.

Nothing supports either, and a stained wood batten in a damp room is a poor idea.

The arcs are nested loops in color bands that make a half circle. This is a single fan of many fine cords that cross in the middle. This one is wider and flatter; the arcs are deeper and more sculptural.

Something soft with no glass. Fiber pieces are the usual answer: nothing rigid over your head, and they soften the hardest wall in the room.

Light textile pieces on adhesive strips. This one is fine cord rather than heavy rope, so it is lighter than its size suggests, though no weight is published.

A queen headboard is about 155 cm, so roughly 100 cm of art reads correctly. This piece is exactly 100 cm, which makes it a good fit over a queen and slightly narrow over a king.

Something for a wall, kept neutral and light. A wide piece is a bolder gift than a small one because it assumes a wall; a smaller piece is the safer choice if you have not seen the flat.

Something wide and matt that does not bounce a flash. A 100 cm swag reads behind two people without crowding them, and it goes on a wall afterwards.

Cover part of it rather than trying to change it. A wide textile piece changes how a wall reads more than a color would, and it leaves with you.

Navy works best against a pale wall where it can act as the single dark object in the room. The Dark Blue option here is deep indigo, which reads almost black in low light.

Reusable ones. A wide fiber piece behind the table costs less than hired florals and goes home onto a wall, which is the whole argument for it.

Something neither would buy alone and both have to agree on afterwards. A neutral wall piece works because it is a decision already made for them.

Soft surfaces on more than one plane. One hanging helps a little; a rug, curtains and a hanging together are what actually change how a room sounds.

Something for the wall of a first shared home. It is the category couples consistently have no budget for, and a neutral piece avoids taking a side on their taste.

Cotton cord in cream or sage reads soft in a nursery and this piece comes in both. Hang it on a wall away from the crib, never above it.

One piece. This is a single wall hanging, not a set of three and not a cluster you arrange yourself, which is the usual confusion with wide fiber listings. It arrives as one batten with all the cord already mounted along it, in the color you choose.

The dark stained wood batten is part of the piece and the cords are mounted along it, so there is no separate dowel to buy.

It is knit cotton cord mounted on a stained wood batten, described the way the paperwork describes it.

Three. Green is a soft sage, Dark Blue is a deep indigo, and White is an undyed cream rather than a bright white. Pattern Type on we sheet reads Solid, so each one is a single color throughout and the only pattern is the lattice the crossing swags make.

Not much. Absorbing sound needs mass and coverage, and this is cord with air between it over 39.37 by 23.62 in of wall. It softens how a bare wall looks rather than how the room sounds. For echo you want rugs, curtains and upholstery instead.

No. There is no personalization on this piece and no lettering option. It is a solid color cord hanging in Green, Dark Blue or White, with no name, no wooden beads and no tassels added.

It can, but keep the frames to one side rather than ringed around it. The diamond lattice in the center is busy enough that a frame grid fights it. In a bedroom, use this alone above the bed and put the photographs over a dresser on another wall.

Above a TV, yes, where there is clear wall above the screen. Above a working fireplace, no. Cotton cord over a firebox is a bad idea however high the mantel runs, and heat and soot will gray the cream version quickly. Keep it on the sofa wall or the console wall.

100 cm / 39.37 in wide and 60 cm / 23.62 in from the top of the batten to the lowest point of the swag. Allow about 120 x 80 cm of wall. We allow 1-3 cm of hand-measurement error.

Two. The batten is a meter of solid timber and a single central hook lets it rotate while concentrating the whole load on one point. Set two fixings roughly 60-70 cm apart, well inside the ends of the bar, using plugs rated to hold extra weight to be safe.

About half of it. A three-seat sofa is typically 200-220 cm wide; at 100 cm this hangs centred with clear wall either side, which is the proportion in every photograph. Over a king-size bed it reads as a centred medallion rather than a full-width piece.

No. Every strand loops down and back up to the batten, so both ends are fixed. There is no fringe, nothing to comb out and no creases to drop.

No, despite the word appearing in our title. There are no knots in it. The cord is looped over a wooden bar and crosses itself in the centre; the pattern is made by the crossing, not by knotting.
