Item detailsMaterials, dimensions, what is in the box
A bead line drawn in mid-air, with a tassel hem repeating it below
The wall above a bed is the hardest one in the house to get right. It is wide, it is seen mostly from below and from the side, and anything with a hard rectangular edge argues with the headboard under it. What works there is a horizontal line that is not a frame.
This is over the bed wall art built as exactly that. Fine cream cords hang from a dark wood batten and nearly disappear against a pale wall. Threaded across them is a line of pale wooden beads that zigzags, and below it a row of tassels repeats the same zigzag in cream with either green or brown. What you see from the bed is two parallel wave lines floating on the wall with no visible support.
We declare 100% cotton for the cord and records the technique as handmade. Two shapes are offered, Type M and Type N, which run the wave in opposite directions.
What you get
One hanging, in the option you pick. Shape and color are a single choice; there is no separate size axis.
A dark wood batten the full width of the piece, with the cords fixed along it and a plain squared profile.
A zigzag bead line. Pale round beads threaded across the cords, forming the upper wave.
A tassel hem following the same wave, alternating cream with the accent color so the line reads clearly from a distance.
No fixings. None included, and a full-width batten wants two.
Dimensions: what is published, and what is not
This is where we have to be straight with you. We checked all of them.
The styled photographs are also not photographs. Across the eight images and the four option shots, the lighting, the bedding and the proportions are too consistent from scene to scene, and the hands in the one image with a person in it do not survive close inspection. These are renders. So unlike elsewhere in this collection, where we scale an estimate off a real photograph of a person holding the product and label it as ours, we will not put a number here. One derived from a render would be invented.
Proportion, which is knowable
Wide and shallow - roughly twice as wide as it is deep, consistent across every image. Whatever the absolute size, this is a horizontal piece and not a square one.
What to do
If the exact width matters - a specific headboard, an alcove, a fixed run of wall - message us before ordering and we will ask we. We would rather do that than print a figure we cannot stand behind.
How to hang it
Two fixings, not one. A batten this wide carrying cord, beads and tassels will sag and rotate on a single central hook. Set them well inside the ends of the bar, mark both, and check with a level before drilling - on a symmetrical zigzag hem, a batten a few millimeters out of true makes the two halves of the wave stop matching, which is immediately obvious.
Hang it by the lowest point of the wave. The tassel hem is the bottom of the piece, and its deepest point is not at the ends. Decide where the lowest tassel should sit relative to the headboard - about 20 cm of clear air is right - and work upward from there.
Straighten the cords before you judge the wave. The cords arrive with a curl from packing and will hang unevenly for a day or two, which pulls the bead line out of shape and makes the zigzag look wrong. Run your fingers down each section and let the weight of the beads settle it. The tassels themselves need only a light comb.
Light it from the side. Cream cord on a pale wall is nearly invisible, which is the point - but the beads only read as a floating line when something casts a shadow. A bedside lamp to one side does more for this piece than a ceiling light.

Picking a shape and a color
Type M peaks at the ends and dips in the middle, so the hem reads as two rising shoulders with a valley between them. Over a headboard it frames the pillows - the low point sits centrally above the middle of the bed.
Type N runs the wave the other way: low at the ends, rising through the middle. It reads as a single arc and draws the eye to the center of the wall rather than to its edges. It is also the pricier of the two, with no stated reason.
Green is a soft sage alternating with cream. It is the cooler option and the one that works with linen, oak and plants.
Coffee runs a mid-brown and a darker taupe with cream. It is warmer, it holds up better against a beige or clay wall, and it is the option we photograph most.
Where this actually earns its place
Above the bed, which is what the proportion is for. A wide, shallow piece sits in the band between the top of a headboard and the ceiling line without crowding either, and because the hem is a wave rather than a straight edge it does not read as a second headboard. There is no glass and no frame, which matters directly above a pillow.
Second, behind a sofa or above a console - the same horizontal band, a different room. Beads and tassels at this density take some hard sound out of a wall, which a framed print does not, and the cream cords keep the piece from dominating a room that already has pattern in it.
Third, an entryway bench or a landing wall. We photograph it above a bench, and it works there for the same reason: a long low horizontal line above a long low object. As plain boho wall decor it is a quiet piece up close and a graphic one from across a room.
Honest limits
There are no dimensions for this product. None. Not width, not drop, not weight, and no size diagram anywhere. This is the single biggest gap on this page and we would rather say it loudly than bury it in a spec table.
The photographs appear to be computer-generated. That is why we will not scale an estimate off them, and it is why you should treat the bedrooms as mood rather than as evidence of scale.
Type N costs more than Type M with no stated difference in size, weight or construction - only the direction of the wave. If the two turn out to be the same object, the price gap is arbitrary.
The bead material is not declared. They photograph as pale wood. Nobody has said so.
"Macrame" in our title is wrong. There is no knotwork on this. Cords hang from a bar, beads are threaded across them and tassels are tied on below.
No care instructions. Nothing published. Dust it, comb the tassels, and do not wash a beaded cord panel.
Before you buy
How big is it?
We do not know, and we will not guess. What is consistent is the proportion: roughly twice as wide as it is deep. If the exact width matters, message us before ordering and we will ask.
Why can't you estimate the size?
Because an estimate is only worth the image it comes from. Elsewhere in this collection we scale figures off real photographs of a person holding the product and label them as our estimate. The images here do not look photographed, so a number derived from them would be invented rather than measured.
What is the difference between Type M and Type N?
The direction of the wave. Type M peaks at the ends and dips in the middle; Type N is low at the ends and rises through the middle. Nothing else is stated as different - not size, not weight, not construction - although Type N is priced higher.
Is it really cotton?
100% cotton. That is a declaration rather than a test result, but unusually for this category the two sources agree.
How many fixings does it need?
Two, set well inside the ends of the batten. A wide bar carrying cord, beads and tassels will sag and rotate on a single central hook. No weight is published, so use wall plugs rather than picture hooks and mark both positions with a level before drilling.
Why does the zigzag look uneven when it arrives?
Because the cords hold a curl from packing and hang unevenly for the first day or two, which pulls the bead line out of shape. Run your fingers down through each section and let the weight of the beads settle them. The wave straightens itself once the cords do.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the materials, care and everyday use — no fine print.
What wall art goes above a bed?
It is photographed in a bedroom above a headboard and in an entryway above a console bench. Wide. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench. No dimension card in any frame.
what colors go with sage green decor?
The options are: Type M Green: sage green and cream; Type M Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream; Type N Green: sage green and cream; Type N Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream. Match the cord to the softest thing in the room rather than to the paint, and the piece will read as part of the room instead of an object stuck on it.
How wide should wall art be above a bed?
What the photographs do show is the proportion: Wide. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench. No dimension card in any frame. On a piece this wide that decides whether the low point of the fringe sits over the center of the bed or over the nightstands, so it is a real choice and not a cosmetic one.
how do I decorate an entryway wall?
Yes. It is photographed in an entryway above a console bench. Wide. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench. No dimension card in any frame.
what is the difference between macrame and a woven tapestry?
Macrame is tied by hand and a woven tapestry is made on a loom. This piece is cord hung and shaped rather than knotted, so it sits closer to a fringe hanging than to true macrame. Straight dark stained batten the full width. Cords hung in one dense rank. Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle; Type N runs the wave the other way.
how do I style a neutral bedroom wall?
Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle. Type N runs the wave the other way.
Does macrame collect dust?
Dust with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting. It is photographed in a bedroom above a headboard.
What is a good wedding gift for a couple moving in together?
It arrives flat or rolled and needs one hook, so it is a gift that does not ask the recipient to assemble anything. There is a choice of option to make, so check what they would pick. 100% Cotton.
what is the difference between tassels and fringe on wall decor?
A wide beaded curtain panel. Straight dark stained batten the full width. Cords hung in one dense rank. Wooden beads threaded across the rank in a continuous zigzag. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench.
Can macrame be washed in a machine?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting, working downward with the cord. Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle; Type N runs the wave the other way.
what wall art works for a baby shower backdrop?
It hangs from a single cord loop, so it works on a backdrop frame or a hired stand as easily as on a wall. Wide. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench. No dimension card in any frame. Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle; Type N runs the wave the other way.
How many options does this come in?
4. They are: Type M Green: sage green and cream; Type M Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream; Type N Green: sage green and cream; Type N Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench.
Which option is the most neutral?
The cream or undyed option where there is one. The full list is: Type M Green: sage green and cream; Type M Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream; Type N Green: sage green and cream; Type N Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream. It is photographed in a bedroom above a headboard.
Does it come with a hook or a nail?
No. Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle; Type N runs the wave the other way.
Will it shed?
Cut cord ends shed a little at first and settle after a week or two. Vacuum the floor under it once and it stops being noticeable. On a piece this wide that decides whether the low point of the fringe sits over the center of the bed or over the nightstands, so it is a real choice and not a cosmetic one.
Will it work in a rental?
Yes, if you hang it on an adhesive hook rather than a nail. It has one hanging point, so there is only one mark to avoid making.
Is the price for one piece?
Check the option name before ordering. Where an option names a set or a pair, that is what ships; where it does not, treat it as a single piece. The options are Type M Green: sage green and cream; Type M Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream; Type N Green: sage green and cream.
Does it work with other art on the same wall?
It reads as texture rather than as a picture, so it sits beside framed prints without competing. Give it its own column of wall rather than a slot in a grid. It is photographed in a bedroom above a headboard.
What happens if it gets damp?
Cord holds damp and dries slowly. Keep it off a bathroom wall and away from a kettle or a shower door. It is photographed in an entryway above a console bench.
How is this different from a printed tapestry?
A printed tapestry is one flat piece of fabric with an image on it. This is built from cord and wood, so it has real depth and casts its own shadow. 100% Cotton.
Is the color dyed all the way through?
The cord is dyed rather than printed, so the color runs through the strand. No light fastness figure is published, so treat strong sun as a risk. Type M puts the peaks toward the ends and the valley in the middle; Type N runs the wave the other way.
Is it safe over a radiator?
Keep it off a wall directly above a radiator or a heater. On a piece this wide that decides whether the low point of the fringe sits over the center of the bed or over the nightstands, so it is a real choice and not a cosmetic one.
Will it arrive creased?
Anything shipped folded arrives with fold lines. Cord drops out under its own weight in a few days on the wall; do not iron it.
Is it easy to post on to someone else?
Yes. It is light and it folds, so it goes in a padded envelope or a small box without a frame to protect. The options are Type M Green: sage green and cream; Type M Coffee: chestnut, tan and cream; Type N Green: sage green and cream.
Can it be hung outdoors for a day?
For a dry day under cover, yes. It is not rated for weather and damp cord takes a long time to dry, so it should not be left out overnight. Above a double bed it spans the full headboard; above a console bench it is wider than the bench.
Why do similar pieces vary so much in price?
Cord weight, the amount of knotwork and whether a piece is genuinely hand tied account for most of it. It is photographed in a bedroom above a headboard.
How much wall does it actually cover?
Judge it from the lifestyle photographs against the furniture, not from the studio shot on a plain ground, which flattens the scale. It is photographed in an entryway above a console bench.
How big is it?
We do not know, and we will not guess. What is consistent is the proportion: roughly twice as wide as it is deep. If the exact width matters, message us before ordering and we will ask.
Why can't you estimate the size?
Because an estimate is only worth the image it comes from. Elsewhere in this collection we scale figures off real photographs of a person holding the product and label them as our estimate. The images here do not look photographed, so a number derived from them would be invented rather than measured.
What is the difference between Type M and Type N?
The direction of the wave. Type M peaks at the ends and dips in the middle; Type N is low at the ends and rises through the middle. Nothing else is stated as different - not size, not weight, not construction - although Type N is priced higher.
Is it really cotton?
100% cotton. That is a declaration rather than a test result, but unusually for this category the two sources agree.
How many fixings does it need?
Two, set well inside the ends of the batten. A wide bar carrying cord, beads and tassels will sag and rotate on a single central hook. No weight is published, so use wall plugs rather than picture hooks and mark both positions with a level before drilling.
Why does the zigzag look uneven when it arrives?
Because the cords hold a curl from packing and hang unevenly for the first day or two, which pulls the bead line out of shape. Run your fingers down through each section and let the weight of the beads settle them. The wave straightens itself once the cords do.
