The Fiber of Style
Warm up a sleek or contemporary space with hanging textile and fiber arts, available in practically any texture and color combination, for a dramatic conversation piece. Very attractive and often meaningful, hand-crafted textile art is one of the biggest trends of the summer and the options are endless – sculptural wall hangings made of woven, coiled, braided or free-hanging materials, such as yarn, rope or twisted fabrics.
A Variety of Threads
A Variety of Threads
Textile wall hangings are a match made in heaven, because soft, textured fibers work beautifully against hard, flat surfaces. The contrast creates instant visual appeal. A wall hanging made of raw and hand-dyed materials like wool, hemp or even braided grasses can bring a touch of folk art to very minimal and simple décor. Showcase twisted and tufted yarn in beautiful monochromatic or contrasting colors that inspire awe and curiosity. Some pieces look extremely modern and sculptural, while others are more like a rug or tapestry. There are many different styles to explore – traditional patterns such as American Southwest, African, Persian, Japanese, Indian or free-form patterns and colors. Choose between strong, highly-saturated colors or soft and subdued neutral or pastel hues.
Modern Macramé
Thought to originate in the 13th century by Arabic weavers, macramé is comprised of thick cord and sturdy yarns that are knotted into intricate patterns. These knots can be tightly knit into figures or the cords can be hung very loosely with just a few punctuating knots.
One of the key characteristics of a lot of hanging macramé is the fringe. Long and frayed or short and voluminous like cotton, it is all about the fringe.

Fabric and Fiber Planters
Fabric and Fiber Planters
Want to add even more life to your textile art? Add plants! A very simple way to add greenery to any room is to use a frame of any kind and string twine along the inside with at least an inch in between – either straight lines or crisscrossed. Fill the spaces with tillandsia, moss or succulents that take in their nutrients from the air. Give them a spritz every few days for a living tapestry.
Use macramé planters and hang them in the kitchen and any other sunlit place to perk up the room. Some vertical textile planters also resemble a hanging quilt with felt-like fabric pockets that can be filled with trailing plant-life.
Whether you fix it to the wall, hang it from the ceiling or adorn it with plants, your hanging textile art will elevate your space and give stunning context to your personal style.
