Macrame Leaf Wall Hanging, Pennant Banner with Autumn Leaves

Green, orange, red and mustard, on a cream ground. We call this RedWhite, which undersells it: there are four leaf colors, not two.

No, there is one only. There is no color selector on this piece, so the green, orange, red and mustard leaves on cream are what every order ships with.

40 by 80 cm, about 16 by 31 inches. Beside a bed that is roughly the height of a bedside lamp and its table together.

Over a double headboard it will read as small. It is better beside a bed, above a console, or on a narrow wall where 40 cm of width is the constraint.

No. Each leaf is knotted into the cord rather than sewn or glued on, which is why they lie flat and do not lift at the edges. It also means there is nothing to detach.

It is a pennant shape. The hem is cut to a point so the silhouette narrows downward, which reads lighter than a rectangle of the same size.

Not unless you want it to be. Rust, mustard and deep green read as warm all year, unlike pumpkins or artificial foliage which read as a date on the calendar.

Beside a bed at reading light height, above a console in an entry, or in a nursery. All three are in the photographs.

Cord with a clear ply twist on a slim pale wooden dowel. No blend percentage is published.

From a cord hanger at the dowel, so one fixing. No hardware is supplied.

No weight is published, but at 40 by 80 cm in cord it is light. A picture hook is a reasonable starting point.

Brush or vacuum downwards on low suction. Do not wash it: the colored leaves are knotted into the ground and wetting the piece tightens the knots unevenly.

No dye information is published, so we cannot promise. Keep it dry, which is the right answer for every fiber piece in this collection.

Nothing in the source supports it, and knotted cord in a steamy room stays damp inside the knots.

Those hang separate leaves from a dowel. On this one the leaves are knotted into a solid cream ground, so it reads as a picture rather than as a cluster of objects.

Light pieces on adhesive strips, removed slowly and downwards. At 40 by 80 cm this piece is light enough to be a reasonable candidate, though no weight is published.

One object at about two thirds the headboard width. At 40 cm wide this piece is narrow for that, so it suits the wall beside a bed better than the wall above it.

Something with texture and a simple outline. Small rooms punish busy walls, so one pennant with a clear shape beats three small objects.

Adhesive strips for light pieces, tension rods in recesses, and leaning larger things on furniture. Weigh the piece first, which is the step most people skip.

Buy by area. Textiles give the most wall per pound, and hanging what you already own lower usually improves a room more than buying another piece.

Ideally nothing. If you do, soft, fixed well clear of the mattress and out of a standing child's reach, with no loose cord. This piece has a fringe hem, so it belongs on another wall.

Textile, fixed high. It softens a hard room, it comes with you when you move, and it does not take paint off the wall when it goes.

A plasterboard plug for a light piece, a toggle or anchor for anything heavier. A bare nail in plasterboard holds nothing and widens its own hole.

Something light on one small fixing. This piece hangs from a single cord hanger and is 40 cm wide, which suits a narrow dorm wall well.

Textured pieces are. This one is knotted leaves worked into a cream ground, which reads as pattern rather than as the heavy 1970s knotwork that has cooled.

About 16 by 31 inches. That is a mid size piece: taller than a small accent, narrower than anything you would center above a bed.

Something narrower than the console with clearance above whatever sits on it. One of the photographs here does exactly that beside an arched mirror.

Warm tones, to stop the room going cold. The green, orange, red and mustard leaves on this piece read warm against blue, which is why the studio shot uses a blue ground.

Something for a wall, light and neutral in shape if not in color. This piece is colorful, which makes it a better gift for someone whose taste you know.

Something quiet at seated eye level. Hang it for the person in the chair rather than standing, which is lower than instinct suggests.

Macrame is knotted cord with depth; a tapestry is woven cloth that hangs flat. This is macrame: the leaves are knotted into the ground rather than printed or woven.

Wood, rust and more cream. This piece already carries green, orange, red and mustard, so the room around it should stay quiet rather than adding a fifth color.

Any fiber burns if a flame reaches it. Keep it away from candles and hot bulbs. No flame rating is published here, so that is caution rather than a specification.

Something with a soft outline rather than a competing hard edge. A pennant shape works beside a round mirror where a rectangle would fight it.

Small pieces grouped at staggered heights, reused afterwards. Colorful pieces like this one suit an autumn wedding where neutral fiber would read as plain.

It is one of the better categories: light, unframed, one fixing, and it rolls up to move. This piece is at the easy end of that.

There is no accepted term. Sellers call it a banner, a pennant or a flag. What defines it is the hem cut to a point rather than straight across, which is what this one has.

Cotton is softer and combs out better; polyester keeps color and shape longer.

It does, along the knotted faces. A vacuum on the lowest suction every month or two is the whole routine.

Something light for a bare wall. Neutral is the safe choice for a flat you have not seen; this piece is colorful, so it suits someone whose room you know.

Something leaf shaped that needs no water. A knotted leaf piece reads botanical without adding another thing to keep alive, which is the actual constraint for most plant people.

Allow at least half the width again as clear wall either side, so about 24 inches of empty wall around a 16 inch piece. Crowded pieces read as smaller than they are.

Anything under the strip's rating, on a clean dry wall, pressed for the full cure time. The rating is rarely the problem; the cure time almost always is.

Something washable-adjacent and not precious, hung high enough to clear coats and bags. Fiber is fine there provided it is above the level things get thrown.

Fiber gives the wall a surface; canvas gives it an image. In raking light fiber wins clearly. If you want a specific picture, nothing woven will substitute.

Warm colored textiles and warmer bulbs. This piece carries rust, red and mustard, which does more for warmth than a cream piece of twice the size.

Knotted or woven leaves rather than artificial foliage. Because the color is in the fiber rather than in a seasonal object, it reads as warm all year instead of as a date.

Anything neutral in shape that goes on a wall afterwards. A leaf pennant works because it is not themed to the event in any way.

Dyed cord shifts in tone over years. This piece has four dyed leaf colors, so it will change more visibly than an undyed cream piece in the same position.

What the pictures do establish is that the leaves are scattered as though falling rather than arranged in rows, in four colors across a cream ground.

Less than you would expect, because the colors are in the fiber rather than in a seasonal object. A knotted rust leaf reads as warm all year where an artificial autumn leaf reads as October.

Several of our own lifestyle photographs pair this piece next to a second wall hanging in an all green-and-gray colorway, staged side by side on the same wall. That second colorway is not a purchasable option on this piece - there is no variant for it. Only the green, orange, red and mustard leaf version described on this page ships from an order here.
