5 Boho Macrame Wall Hanging Ideas That Will Transform Your Living Room
The Power of Macrame in Interior Design
Bohemian interior design is defined by its eclectic, organic, and highly textured aesthetic. While bringing in lush houseplants and natural wood furniture is a great start, no boho space is truly complete without the intricate, woven texture of a macrame wall hanging.
Creating your own macrame wall decor allows you to perfectly customize the size, color, and complexity to match your space. Here are 5 styles of wall hangings you can create today to instantly elevate your living room.
1. The Classic Geometric Chevron
Using alternating square knots and double half-hitch diagonal lines, the classic chevron pattern adds a sense of structure and symmetry to your wall while maintaining a soft, organic feel.
2. The Layered Fringe Tapestry
If you want to create a massive statement piece, layered fringe tapestries are the way to go. By creating multiple layers of dense, brushed-out fringe, you create a piece that looks incredibly luxurious and expensive.
3. The Driftwood Statement Piece
Instead of using a standard wooden dowel, foraging for a beautiful piece of natural driftwood gives your macrame an instantly rustic, coastal-boho vibe. The irregular shape of the wood forces the pattern to drape beautifully.
Stop Guessing, Start Knotting
Want to recreate these exact styles? You don’t have to figure out the knot math yourself. We have compiled a massive library of step-by-step patterns for all of these styles and thousands more.
4. The Floral & Leaf Motif
Advanced macrame artists often incorporate leaf shapes and woven floral designs into their hangings. These pieces bridge the gap between traditional knotting and tapestry weaving, adding a whimsical, botanical touch to your room.
5. The Asymmetrical Art Piece
Who says your wall hanging has to be perfectly balanced? Asymmetrical designs, featuring heavy knots on one side and long, sweeping fringe on the other, provide a modern, edgy twist on the traditional 1970s aesthetic.
Choosing Your Cord
For large wall hangings, we highly recommend using a 4mm or 5mm single-strand cotton cord. It is soft on the hands, creates chunky, visible knots, and brushes out beautifully for luxurious fringe.
