Wall Hangings

A room feels empty with bare walls, but if you’re after something a little different from the usually framed art, or have limited space to make an impact, a wall hanging might be the solution.

Wall hangings can really be anything from carpets to tapestries, dream catchers and macrame designs, woven pieces and even 3D structural paper artwork. The kind you choose depends entirely on the wall space that needs to be filled, the style of the room and the kind of feeling you want to create.

We love wall hangings in a guest bedroom. Once your overall palette has been chosen, pick out a few accent colours and bring these out in the hanging. Circular, woven hangings create an organic and natural feel that is neutral enough for a spare room but eye-catching and textured. Clustering these round pieces together can make for an interesting and artful design that works well above the bed.

Longer, tasseled or fringed boho pieces are stunning on a narrow wall at the end of a passage which can make the space look longer and wider.

Some wall hangings incorporate different materials like wool, cotton and jute within a regular frame. These are fantastic additions to a gallery wall full of mixed medium art and can create a talking point when hung in the dining room.
