Item details Materials, dimensions, what is in the box

The one thing people get wrong about this piece

It is narrow. Most people searching for a macrame wall hanging are picturing the wide sort, the one that covers a whole headboard wall by itself, and this is not that piece. In the supplier's living room frame it covers roughly a third of the width of a three seat sofa and the fringe stops near eye level, so it reads as a column of texture next to a lamp rather than as a wall filler. One hanging, one dowel, one loop of cord. There is no second panel and no set.

What it is

Two stacked X shapes, the bowtie or hourglass diamond, worked in flat knotting against a cream ground. Three horizontal knotted bars break it up: one under the dowel, one between the two X shapes, one below the lower X. Under that last bar the cords are left loose and cut straight across, so the bottom edge is a level line rather than a V or a stepped taper. Color is the part most listings of this shape skip. Nearly every knotted hanging in this format is sold in undyed cream and described as a neutral. This one is built as a two color object and you choose which:

Color A, forest green arms on a cream ground

Color B, dusty mauve arms on a cream ground

Up close the cord is matte with a visible ply twist and no sheen. The supplier lists the fiber as polyester and cotton and does not publish the split. Polyester in the mix is why the three knotted bars hold their straight line instead of relaxing into a sag, and it is also why the care rule is hand wash and why an iron is a bad idea near it.

Where it goes

The supplier photographed it in three places and all three are narrow gaps rather than open walls: above a cream three seat sofa, above an upholstered headboard where it fills the space up to the ceiling, and above a wooden console in a hotel style lounge. The same shape suits the strip between two windows, the side of a chimney breast, and the wall beside a reading chair.

What it will not do

The supplier publishes no width, no length and no weight, and there is no dimension card in any photograph, so no figure is stated here rather than a guessed one. Measure the gap you want to fill and compare it against the sofa in the photographs. If you need a piece that spans a king bed or a stairwell, this is the wrong shape.

It is not pure cotton. The cord is a polyester and cotton mix, so no organic or all natural claim belongs on it. It is not a signed studio piece. It is an unbranded stock item knotted in Zhejiang and the dowel carries no maker's mark. It is not machine washable. Hand wash is the only care instruction the supplier gives. It is not tested for flame resistance and no test result is published, so keep the fringe away from candles, heaters and open fires. It is not supplied with a hook or a nail. The cord triangle over the dowel ends gives you one hanging point, and the fixing is yours to buy.

Price is 74.45 USD for the hanging, its dowel and its hanging cord, in either colorway.

Where it goes

  • The gap between a headboard and the ceiling
  • A narrow pier between two windows
  • Above one end of a sofa rather than centered over it
  • A hallway or hotel-style console wall

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the materials, care and everyday use — no fine print.

Is this really macrame?

Yes. The pattern is knotted, not printed and not woven on a loom. Two X shaped panels are worked between three horizontal knotted bars, and the contrast color is knotted into the arms rather than dyed on afterwards. That is why the surface has depth when you look at it from the side.

How big is it?

The supplier publishes no dimensions for this product. There is no size field, no diagram and no measurement anywhere in the source listing, so we will not print one. In the room photographs it spans roughly a third of a three seat sofa, which makes it a narrow accent rather than a statement piece.

Will this fit a narrow wall?

That is what it is for. It is a tall narrow column rather than a wide panel, so it suits the pier between two windows, the strip above a headboard, or a hallway wall where a framed print would be too wide.

Is this big enough for above a king bed?

Probably not on its own. It is a narrow accent. Over a wide headboard it will read as undersized, and you want one of the wide arc or swag pieces instead, or three of these hung as a row.

What colors can I choose?

Two. Variant A is forest green with cream, and variant B is dusty mauve with cream. The construction, the dowel and the fringe are identical between them.

What is it made of?

The supplier lists cotton, and the cord in the close photograph has a clear three ply twist. The dowel is a light natural wood. No blend percentage and no cord thickness is published.

How does it hang?

A cord triangle loops over both ends of the dowel and takes the whole weight from a single point. The supplier supplies no hook, no nail and no instructions, so plan on your own fixing.

Can I hang it with an adhesive strip?

We cannot promise it. The supplier publishes no weight, so nobody can tell you a given strip is rated for it before it arrives. Weigh it in your hand first, then decide.

How do I clean it?

Dust it. The supplier says hand wash, but a hung piece rarely needs more than a soft brush or a low suction vacuum on the fringe. Wetting knotted cord makes it stretch and dry unevenly.

Will the fringe go frizzy?

Loose cord fluffs with handling, which is normal for this construction. Combing the fringe straight with your fingers puts it back. Do not brush it hard, which separates the ply.

Where does it look best?

Vertical gaps. The three room photographs use a sofa wall, the space above an upholstered headboard, and a hotel style lounge console. All three are narrow placements rather than wide ones.

Can it go in a bathroom?

We would not. Cord in a steamy room stays damp and eventually smells, and the supplier publishes nothing about moisture. Nothing in the source listing supports bathroom or outdoor use.

What comes in the box?

One wall hanging on its dowel. The supplier lists no hardware, no hook and no instructions, and none appear in any photograph.

Who makes it?

The supplier's attribute table gives no brand name and Origin as Mainland China. The seller describes the piece as hand-woven; that is the seller's description, reported here rather than claimed by us.

How is this different from a woven fabric hanging?

A woven fabric hanging is one flat cloth panel. This is knotted cord, so the pattern is raised and casts its own small shadows, and the fringe hangs free rather than being a cut edge of fabric.

What can I hang above my couch instead of a picture?

A narrow macrame wall hanging is the usual answer, because it fills vertical space without a frame, glass or a second nail. This one is two knotted X panels on a wooden dowel with a straight cut fringe below, in forest green on cream or dusty mauve on cream. In the supplier's sofa photograph it covers about a third of the width of a three seat sofa, so it sits beside a lamp rather than taking the whole wall.

How do I fill the big empty wall above my bed?

Hang this so the fringe ends about a hand's width above the headboard and treat it as a column rather than a panel. The piece is narrow, so on a wide wall it works centered over the pillows or paired with a shelf or two sconces. The supplier's bedroom frame shows it filling the gap between an upholstered headboard and the ceiling.

How do you hang a macrame wall hanging without putting holes in the wall?

Use an adhesive hook rated well above the piece's weight and drop the cord triangle over it. The hanging cord loops over both dowel ends and meets at a single point, so one fixing does the job. The supplier publishes no weight, so put it on a kitchen scale when it arrives and pick the hook rating from that number rather than from a guess.

What size wall hanging should go above a sofa?

The common rule is that art above a sofa covers about two thirds of the sofa's width, and this piece does not do that alone. In the supplier's photograph it covers roughly one third of a three seat sofa. Either place it off center beside a lamp or a plant, or hang two with a gap between them. No width figure is published, so measure your gap first.

What is the best boho wall decor for a small apartment?

Something narrow and soft, which is what this is. A vertical knotted piece takes a strip of wall rather than a whole wall, hangs from one point, and comes down at move out leaving one hook to patch. The two colorways, forest green on cream and dusty mauve on cream, put color on a rental wall without paint.

How do I decorate a rental wall without damaging it?

Hang from adhesive hooks and choose objects light enough for them, which is where knotted cord beats a framed print. This hanging needs one fixing point because the cord meets in a triangle above the dowel. Weigh it yourself when it arrives, since the supplier states no weight, and pick a hook rated above that.

How much should a macrame wall hanging cost?

Small knotted hangings run from around 20 USD for a mass produced one to several hundred for a studio piece signed by its maker. This one is 74.45 USD. It is a stock design knotted in Zhejiang with no brand name on it, so what the price covers is the two color pattern and the finish, not a signature.

What wall decor works in a nursery?

Light pieces that hang high and away from the crib. This hanging suits a nursery wall in either colorway, but keep it off the wall directly above the crib and out of reach from the changing table, because loose cord and fringe near a baby are a strangulation risk. No safety testing is published for this item.

Macrame wall hanging vs woven tapestry, which is better?

They fail differently. A woven tapestry is a flat panel of cloth, so it covers more wall per dollar and carries a picture. Macrame like this one is knotted cord with open space between the knots, so it adds texture and a shadow line and borrows color from the wall behind it. If you need coverage, a tapestry wins. If you need texture in a narrow strip, this does.

What color wall hanging goes with a cream sofa?

Against a cream sofa, pick contrast rather than another neutral. The supplier's living room photograph shows this piece above a cream three seat sofa, and the X arms read clearly because they are forest green or dusty mauve on a cream ground. An undyed cream hanging above a cream sofa disappears from across the room.

How do you hang things on a dorm wall?

Adhesive strips or hooks, since most dorms ban nails. This piece is a fair candidate because the cord meets in a triangle and hangs from one point, so there is one thing to stick up rather than two. Wipe the wall with rubbing alcohol first, let it dry, and check the piece's weight against the hook rating, because the supplier publishes no weight.

Is macrame a good choice for above the bed?

Yes, mainly because it is light and soft. Nothing above your head is framed, glazed or heavy. This hanging goes up on one fixing and its fringe is cut straight, so it hangs quietly rather than swinging. Hang it high enough that heads and pillows never reach the fringe.

What is the difference between macrame and woven wall art?

Macrame is knotted, woven wall art is made on a loom with warp and weft. The supplier's attribute table calls the craft knit, but the macro photograph settles it: the green triangle here is tied, not woven, and you can see individual cords crossing. Woven pieces are solid cloth, knotted pieces have gaps you can see the wall through.

Are macrame wall hangings a fire hazard?

Cord burns, and this one is polyester and cotton, so treat it like any other textile in the room. No flame resistance is claimed or tested for this piece and none is published by the supplier. Keep it away from candles, stoves, heaters, open fires and halogen bulbs, and do not hang it directly above a radiator.

What do I put on a narrow wall between two windows?

A vertical piece, which is the shape this one already is. Two stacked X panels on a dowel plus a fringe give you height in a strip, and one fixing point holds it. Since the supplier publishes no width, measure the pier between your windows and compare it to the sofa proportion in the product photographs before ordering.

Is this a good housewarming gift for someone moving into a new apartment?

It is a low risk housewarming gift, because it needs no stud, no level and no second nail, and it works on a wall the person has not decided about yet. Pick color A, forest green on cream, for rooms with wood and plants, and color B, dusty mauve on cream, for softer bedrooms. It arrives as one piece with its dowel.

What wall art goes above a console table?

Something tall and narrow, so the console stays the wide element and the wall piece is the vertical one. The supplier photographed this hanging above a wooden console in a hotel style lounge. Hang it so the fringe ends above a lamp or a vase instead of tangling with it, and center it on the console rather than on the wall.

Do macrame wall hangings collect a lot of dust?

Yes, the fringe collects dust faster than the knotted panels, because the cut ends sit open. On this piece the fringe is everything below the third knotted bar. A lint roller or a vacuum brush on low suction every few weeks handles it. A room with a fireplace or an open kitchen needs it more often than a bedroom does.

What wall decor makes a good wedding backdrop?

For a small ceremony, several narrow hangings spaced along a bar or an arch work better than one wide panel. This piece is narrow and hangs from a single point, so it spaces easily. It is 74.45 USD each, so the cost adds up fast across a wide backdrop, and the color choice is limited to green on cream or mauve on cream.

How high should you hang art above a sofa?

Hang it so the bottom clears the sofa back by about a hand's width and the middle of the piece sits near eye level for someone standing. The supplier's living room frame shows this hanging at eye level above a cream three seat sofa. With a fringed piece, measure to the bottom of the fringe, not to the last knot.

What is a good wall hanging for a boho bedroom?

A knotted cord piece on a wooden dowel with a fringe is the core boho shape, and this one adds color instead of staying cream. Forest green on cream sits with plants, rattan and warm wood. Dusty mauve on cream sits with linen, brass and pale walls. It is narrow, so pair it with a shelf or hang it beside a window.

Where can I buy a green macrame wall hanging?

Color A of this listing is the green one: forest green X panels on a cream ground, on a light wooden dowel, with a straight cut fringe below the lowest knotted bar. Green is harder to find than natural cream in this format, because most sellers of this shape leave the cord undyed. Choose color A at checkout.

Cotton versus polyester macrame cord, what is the difference?

Cotton is softer, takes dye in a muted way and relaxes over time. Polyester holds its shape, resists sagging and dislikes heat. This piece is a polyester and cotton mix with no split published by the supplier, which is why the three horizontal bars keep their line and why the care rule is hand wash rather than a machine cycle.

What can I hang above a crib safely?

Nothing with loose cord belongs above a crib, and that includes this piece. Fringe and knotted cord within a child's reach are a strangulation risk, and no safety testing is published for this item. If you want it in the nursery, hang it on another wall, high, and away from the crib, the changing table and any chair a toddler can climb.

What is the best wall decor under 100 dollars?

Fiber pieces give you the most wall for the money under 100 USD, because there is no frame, no glass and no crate. This one is 74.45 USD for the hanging, its dowel and its hanging cord. A framed print of similar height usually costs more once the frame is added, and it needs two fixings and a level.

Is there a macrame wall hanging for a small wall space?

This is one. It is a narrow vertical format: two stacked X panels, three knotted bars, a straight cut fringe, on a slim dowel. In the supplier's sofa photograph it covers about a third of the width of a three seat sofa. On a small wall that is the point. On a wide blank wall, buy a wider piece or hang a pair.

Will a macrame wall hanging fade in direct sunlight?

Dyed cord fades in direct sun, and both colorways here are dyed: forest green on cream and dusty mauve on cream. The supplier publishes no colorfastness rating. On a wall taking hours of direct afternoon light, expect the green or the mauve to lighten before the cream does. A wall opposite the window lasts longer than one beside it.

What is the fringe on a macrame wall hanging for?

The fringe is where the working cords end, and cutting them straight or in a V is the finish. On this piece the cords below the third knotted bar are left loose and cut straight across, so the bottom edge is a level line. It also softens the piece, since a hard stop at the last knot looks abrupt on a wall.

Can you steam or iron a macrame wall hanging?

Keep an iron off this one. The cord is a polyester and cotton mix, and polyester glazes or melts under a hot plate. If the cords arrive kinked, hang the piece and let gravity work for a few days, or hold a steamer well back from the surface and comb the fringe straight with your fingers while it is damp.

What are gift ideas for a friend who likes boho decor?

A knotted wall hanging is the standard gift for that taste, and color is what makes it feel chosen rather than generic. Forest green on cream suits someone with plants and wood furniture, dusty mauve on cream suits a softer bedroom. This piece is 74.45 USD and comes with its hanging cord already looped over the dowel, so only a hook is missing.

Can you hang macrame with command strips?

An adhesive hook is the normal way to hang a piece like this in a rental, and it works here because the cord triangle gives one hanging point. Weigh the piece first, since the supplier publishes no weight, and pick a strip or hook rated above what the scale says. Press it onto a clean dry painted wall and wait the full cure time.

What decor goes above a hotel style console in an entryway?

A tall narrow textile piece, because it fills the wall above the console without crowding a lamp or a tray. The supplier photographed this hanging above a wooden console in a lounge styled that way. Forest green on cream reads more formal in an entryway, dusty mauve on cream reads softer.

Is this macrame wall hanging good for a reading nook?

Yes, a narrow vertical piece suits the wall beside a reading chair, where a wide panel would fight the chair and the lamp. Hang it so the fringe clears the chair back and the shade of a floor lamp. In a nook with warm wood, color A, forest green on cream, holds its shape under lamplight better than a pale neutral.

Is macrame okay to hang in a bathroom?

A bathroom is the worst room for it. Steam swells cord, the wooden dowel can mark or warp, and repeated damp with no airflow invites mildew in the fiber. The only care instruction the supplier gives is hand wash, and there is no moisture rating. If you insist, use a bathroom with a window and a working fan and hang it far from the shower.

What is the diamond or bowtie pattern in macrame called?

The X stacked on itself is usually called a bowtie, an hourglass or a diamond, and it is built from rows of square knots angled inwards then outwards. This piece has two of them, one above the other, each framed by a horizontal knotted bar. The arms are worked in the contrast color while the ground stays cream.

What is good wall decor for a dorm room that is not posters?

Textile pieces, because they hang from one point, need no frame and pack down for the trip home. This hanging is narrow enough for the strip of wall beside a desk or a bed. It is 74.45 USD, which is more than a poster, and unlike a poster it survives being rolled up and rehung in next year's room.

How long does shipping usually take for wall decor?

Check the product page for current shipping times, since they move with stock and carrier. What ships is one hanging with its dowel and its hanging cord in the colorway you pick at checkout. No hook, nail or adhesive strip is included in the package.

What wall hanging works for a baby shower backdrop?

A narrow hanging in a soft color works better on a backdrop than one wide panel, because you can space several across a bar and still see the fabric behind. Color B here, dusty mauve on cream, is the usual pick for that. Keep it as decoration behind a table, not above a crib or a bassinet, since the cord and fringe are loose.

How many pieces come in this macrame wall hanging?

One. This is a single hanging, not a set and not a gallery wall bundle: one knotted panel, one wooden dowel, one hanging cord already looped over the dowel ends. If you want a pair flanking a bed or a window, order two.

Which color should I choose, forest green or dusty mauve?

Forest green on cream, color A, holds up in rooms with wood, leather, rattan and plants, and it is the one that reads from across a living room. Dusty mauve on cream, color B, is quieter and suits bedrooms, nurseries and pale linen. Both use the same cream ground and the same knot pattern, so the arm color is the only difference.

Is this a handmade macrame wall hanging made in the USA?

No. It is made in Mainland China, in Zhejiang province, so a made in USA claim would be false. The knotting itself is tied rather than woven or printed, which the close up of the green triangle shows, but the piece is produced as a stock item and carries no maker's mark on the dowel.

Is this a 100 percent cotton macrame wall hanging?

No. The supplier lists the material as polyester and cotton and publishes no percentage split, so this is not a pure cotton piece and no organic claim applies to it. The mix is the reason the three horizontal bars keep their line, and the reason the care rule is hand wash and heat is a bad idea.

Can I get this macrame wall hanging personalised with a name?

No. There is no custom name, monogram or lettering option on this piece. The two choices at checkout are color A, forest green on cream, and color B, dusty mauve on cream. The knot pattern, the dowel and the straight cut fringe are identical in both.

Is this a large oversized macrame wall hanging for a big blank wall?

No, this is the narrow format, and on a wide blank wall it will look undersized alone. Hang a pair with a gap between them, or place it next to a shelf, a mirror or a tall plant so it works as part of a group. For a two story wall or a staircase, buy a piece built at that scale.

Does this need a stud or a drywall anchor?

Probably not, since knotted cord and a slim dowel are light, but the supplier publishes no weight so treat that as unverified until you weigh it. Most people hang this kind of piece on one adhesive hook or a small picture hook in drywall. One fixing is enough because the hanging cord meets at a single point.

Can I trim the fringe if it is too long?

Yes, and it is the one alteration that is hard to get wrong here, because the fringe is already cut straight across rather than shaped. Comb the cords straight with your fingers, hang the piece so it settles, then cut across in one line with sharp shears. Leave it long on the first cut, since you cannot put it back.

Is this macrame wall hanging safe around cats?

A cat will treat hanging cord as a toy, so hang it out of jumping range or expect the fringe to be pulled. The cords below the lowest knotted bar are the vulnerable part. Loose fiber is also a swallowing risk for a pet that chews. Nothing about this piece is tested or rated for pet safety.

Can I hang two of these side by side?

Yes, and on a wide wall it is the better move, since one narrow piece can look lost above a three seat sofa. Order two of the same colorway for a symmetrical pair, or one of each to pick up two colors in the room. Space them so the fringes do not touch and set both dowels at the same height.

Why does this cost 74.45 USD?

74.45 USD buys a two color knotted piece with a wooden dowel and its hanging cord. It is a stock design from Zhejiang with no brand name, so the price is not paying for a signature or a limited run. Cheaper versions of this shape are usually undyed cream cord, and the colored X panels are what this one does differently.

Is this piece woven or knotted?

It is knotted. The supplier's attribute table says the craft is knit, but the macro photograph of the green triangle shows individual cords tied and crossed rather than warp and weft, so knotted is the accurate word. That is also why there are gaps between the cords and why the piece throws a shadow on the wall.
