Small Macrame Wall Hanging, Narrow Boho Wall Decor in Green or Mauve
Estimated delivery: 3–10 days
Item details Materials, dimensions, what is in the box
Ninety-five centimeters of wall, forty wide - that is the gap this fills
Narrow walls are the ones that stay empty. The strip between two windows, the panel beside a bedroom door, the run of wall over one end of a sofa where a 60 cm canvas would hang off the edge. They are tall and thin, and almost nothing sold as wall art is built that way.
This is a macrame wall hanging measured for that shape: 95 cm / 37.40 in from the top of its hanging cord to the tips of the fringe, and 40 cm / 15.74 in across. It weighs 600 g. Three stacked triangle bands make two clean X shapes down the middle, then the cord runs out into a long straight-cut fringe across the bottom third.
It is genuinely knotted, not printed and not wound: the close photograph below shows twisted three-ply cord with a knotted spine running down each triangle and a row of knots along the dowel. That makes it a knotted wall hanging in the strict sense, which is worth saying because half the listings in this category are not. It's polyester and cotton, and the care instruction is hand wash.

What you get
- One hanging, ready to hang. The panel comes knotted onto its wooden dowel with the hanging cord already tied to both ends. One nail or hook carries the whole thing.
- Three bands and a fringe. Top triangle, middle X, lower X, then roughly the bottom third is loose fringe. Two of the horizontal bars are wrapped in cord in the contrast color, so the structure reads as part of the pattern.
- Two colorways. Green - forest and sage on cream - or mauve, a dusty rose-brown on cream. Both are two-tone against undyed cord.
- No fixing. No nail, hook or adhesive strip is included or mentioned. At 600 g a picture hook is enough; a bare pin is not.
Dimensions, and what they mean on your wall
We give three measurements for this piece - height, width and weight - listed below. The split between cord and panel is our own reading off those numbers, and it's labeled as such.
| Total drop | 95 cm / 37.40 in, measured from the top of the hanging cord to the fringe tips |
|---|---|
| Width | 40 cm / 15.74 in at the dowel, which is the widest point |
| Weight | 600 g / 1.32 lb |
| Hanging cord above the dowel | About 23 cm of the 95 cm - that's the part between your nail and the top of the knotwork. |
| Knotted panel and fringe | About 72 cm below the dowel, on the same reading |
| Wall needed | A clear strip about 45 cm wide and 100 cm tall, which allows a little air either side of the 40 cm dowel |
| Nail height | Put the fixing about 95 cm above where you want the fringe to end. Over a bed or a sofa back, that usually means 20-25 cm above the furniture. |
| Thickness | It is knotted cord over a thin dowel, so it sits close to the wall, but no measurement has been verified. |
| Measurement tolerance | Measurements are taken by hand and may deviate slightly. |

How to hang it
The cord is already tied into a triangle across the dowel ends, so this hangs from a single point. Mark the wall 95 cm above where you want the fringe to finish, put in one picture hook rated well over 600 g, and drop the cord over it. Slide the cord along the dowel to level the piece rather than moving the hook.
Fringe is the part that misbehaves. It arrives folded, and it will keep the fold for a few days. Hang it, comb the strands straight with your fingers from the bar down, and leave it - the weight of the cord pulls the creases out on its own. Do not iron it; the fiber content is a blend and no heat instruction is published.
We photograph these in pairs, one colorway beside the other, spaced about a hand's width apart. That works on a wide wall. On a narrow strip, hang one and centre it.

Picking a color
Green is two greens, not one: a deep forest in the triangles and a softer sage on the wrapped bars and fringe, both against undyed cream. It is the stronger of the two from across a room, and the one that holds up against a dark wall - our photos show it on bare concrete and it still reads.
Mauve is a dusty rose-brown. Expect something between the two. It is the quieter option and the better one against white or oatmeal walls.

Where this actually earns its place
Above a headboard, first. At 40 cm wide it does not need the full width of the bed, so it works centred over a single or as one of a pair over a double. The fringe moving slightly in the room's air is most of the appeal, and it is the reason above bed wall decor in textile beats another framed print.
Second, the narrow strips: between two windows, beside a doorway, at the end of a hallway. A 40 cm dowel fits where a canvas cannot, and the 95 cm drop gives the wall something vertical to do. That is the narrow wall decor case exactly.
Third, above one end of a sofa, hung low enough that the fringe nearly meets the back cushions. It softens hard corners, which is the job most bedroom wall decor and living room textile is actually bought for - sound and edge, not color.

Honest limits
- "Small" in the title is relative. It is narrow - 40 cm - but it is 95 cm tall. If you are shopping for something that fits above a nightstand, measure first: this is nearly a meter of drop.
- One of our own product images says cotton. We use the spec-sheet value, which is the more conservative of the two, and we do not describe this as 100% cotton.
- What the photographs show is knotting. We call it knotted and leave the rest as description.
- Hand wash only, and no more detail than that. No water temperature, no drying instruction, no colorfastness statement. Treat spot-cleaning as the safe option and expect a blend to hold dye better than pure cotton would.
- The fringe is cut, not knotted closed. Straight-cut ends will shed a few fibers early on and can tangle if a cat takes an interest. That is normal for this construction and not a defect.
- No fixing is included. 600 g on a single point needs a picture hook or a wall plug, not a drawing pin.
Before you buy
How much wall does it need?
Leave a clear strip about 45 cm wide and 100 cm tall. The dowel is 40 cm and the total drop is 95 cm from the top of the cord, so a little air either side keeps it from looking wedged in.
Where exactly do I put the nail?
About 95 cm above the point where you want the fringe to end, because the 95 cm figure is measured from the top of the hanging cord. Over a bed or a sofa that usually puts the fixing 20-25 cm above the furniture.
Is it really macrame, or just woven?
Really knotted. It is twisted three-ply cord, with a knotted spine down each triangle and a knotted row along the dowel. That is macrame construction.
Is it cotton?
Polyester and cotton blend; no percentage specified. One of our own product images says cotton; we use the spec-sheet value instead and do not claim pure cotton.
Will the fringe hang straight out of the box?
Not immediately. It ships folded and holds the crease for a few days. Comb it straight with your fingers from the bar down and let gravity finish the job. Do not iron it - the fiber is a blend and no heat instruction is published.

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.
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?
It's a polyester and cotton blend; no percentage specified. The cord is a clear three-ply twist, and the dowel is light natural wood.
How does it hang?
A cord triangle loops over both ends of the dowel and takes the whole weight from a single point. We don't include a hook, nail or instructions, so plan on your own fixing - a picture hook rated well above 600 g is enough.
Can I hang it with an adhesive strip?
Yes, if the strip is rated well above its weight. This piece weighs 600 g, so pick an adhesive strip or hook rated comfortably over that, or weigh it yourself to be exact before you commit.
How do I clean it?
Dust it. Hand wash is the official care instruction, but a hung piece rarely needs more than a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction on the fringe. Wetting knotted cord makes it stretch and dry unevenly, so avoid a full wash unless it's genuinely dirty.
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 wouldn't. Cord in a steamy room stays damp and eventually smells, and we don't have a moisture rating for this piece to reassure you otherwise. Keep it in a dry room instead.
What comes in the box?
One wall hanging on its dowel, ready to hang. We don't include hardware, a hook or instructions, and none appear in any photograph, so budget for your own picture hook.
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 our own 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 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. This piece weighs 600 g, so pick a hook rated comfortably above that rather than guessing.
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. It weighs 600 g, so pick a hook rated comfortably above that number.
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. Our own 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 pick a strip or hook rated comfortably above its 600 g 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. 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, so we don't have a rating to give you. 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. At 40 cm wide, measure the pier between your windows and compare it to that measurement 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. We 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. Our own living room photo 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 piece 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 given, 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 our own 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. We don't have a colorfastness rating for this piece. 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. At 600 g, pick a strip or hook rated comfortably above that. 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. We 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 we give 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 100 percent cotton macrame wall hanging?
No - it's a poly/cotton blend with no percentage published, so it doesn't qualify as pure cotton and we're not making any organic-cotton claim for it. That blend is also why the piece keeps its shape, with the horizontal bars staying tight, and why hand wash is the recommended care rather than a machine cycle.
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.
Does this need a stud or a drywall anchor?
Probably not - at 600 g, knotted cord and a slim dowel are light. 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.
How big is it?
95 cm / 37.40 in from the top of the hanging cord to the fringe tips, and 40 cm / 15.74 in across at the dowel. It weighs 600 g. Leave a clear strip about 45 cm wide and 100 cm tall.
Where exactly do I put the nail?
About 95 cm above the point where you want the fringe to end, because the 95 cm is measured from the top of the hanging cord rather than from the dowel. Over a bed or sofa that usually puts the fixing 20 to 25 cm above the furniture.
Will the fringe hang straight out of the box?
Not immediately. It ships folded and holds the crease for a few days. Comb it straight with your fingers from the bar down and let the weight of the cord finish the job. Do not iron it: the fiber is a blend and no heat instruction is published.
Is it really macrame?
Yes. It is twisted three-ply cord, with a knotted spine down each triangle and a knotted row along the dowel. That is macrame construction.
