Macramè creations to add a boho-chic touch to the home
It has a very ancient history, yet it has managed to carve out a place of honor in the contemporary world. Macramé, or lace which, instead of being sewn and embroidered, is made by weaving, knotting and wrapping threads or cords, is an art that boasts a long tradition. It is said that it has Arab origin, and that it was the navigators who brought it to our coasts in the 1400s, in particular to the Ligurian ones, where it has become a real local tradition. Since then, the technique to make it has never changed: only manual skill can give life to the wonderful macramé decorations for the home that evoke a romantic, boho-chic world, with that rustic and natural flavor resulting from raw (and ecological ).
Undoubtedly, our aesthetic taste has changed, which has led the macramé creations to take on more contemporary appearances, varying the patterns and knots, the aesthetic result and the intended use. This form of traditional craftsmanship has carved out a special niche in the contemporary world, becoming an Instagram star. Macramé creations, tutorials to make them, the most skilled artisan-designers (it seems to be an all-female passion) are a real social trend.
But let’s go back to home decoration: there are several possibilities with macramé to add a boho-chic touch to your home by enriching it with accessories that arise from knots and weaves. Decorative tapestries, flower pots, frames, pillow cases and blankets, coasters, placemats and even jewelry, handbags and fashion accessories.
Here are some suggestions to add a romantic touch to the home with decorative macramé items.
Which decorative objects in macramé can you buy?
- The most common among the decorative objects in macramé is the tapestry, the wall element that furnishes, gives a special touch to the atmosphere and gives a bohemian charm to the rooms, with a hint of ‘ethnic’ taste. The great weave of knots, windings, intertwining, unravels from a wooden support, more or less refined.
- Another common element in the world of macrame is the hanging planter. The combinations for weaving a vase holder with this technique are almost infinite, so you can design a sort of ‘hammock’ in which to insert the plants that you want to enhance. The effect is superb, both with a single pot and with a combination of different plants. The final result is reminiscent of nature, lianas, and brings home an aesthetic revolution in green.
- A lovely lampshade for hanging chandeliers, which creates a romantic play of shadows with and light, to illuminate any room in a soft, romantic, magical way. The lantern effect is extremely decorative and is enough on its own to enrich the aesthetics of a room. Also in this case the cord is sturdy cotton, of a raw color, and is perfect for contemporary environments where natural and warm materials are used.
You can also find mirrors, coasters, pillow covers earrings, and fashion objects made of macramé.
Modern macramé
The tools to make it are always the same: hands and textile fibers … patience and creativity.
The diameter of the wire to be braided becomes larger, almost like that used by sailors knots. Supports have been added, such as the wooden or iron structure on which the projects unfold and the fibers are also synthetic.
In the art of home decor, macramé “embroideries” are used for many furnishing accessories. All the creations, as in the past, use the weaving technique: knots distributed to create patterns, repeated motifs that give life to unique and original objects.

Macramé furnishing accessories do not go unnoticed, whether in cotton, wool, synthetic fiber or other material. By themselves they can fill an entire unadorned space and we can think of them as works of art that make life at home more delightful. They find space in all rooms of the house, from the bedroom with macramé headboards, to the curtains in every room and to the pendants in the living room and in the garden.
Choose whichever item you like best, and think about the possible uses you’ll do of them. If you’re looking for a decoration, we particularly recommend the macramé owl: a unique piece that will add a lot of character to your space!
