18 Best Wall Hangings and Wall Tapestries To Buy In 2023

A wall hanging or wall tapestry can have a transformative effect on your space, making it feel homelier, cosier and more personal.

You've likely got a mirror, framed photo and some artwork already but, for some additional bohemian flair or to introduce a bit of texture, a well-placed wall hanging or tapestry can help to soften a room, adding some welcome colour and interest. They're also a bit more unusual than your standard framed poster.

Most wall hangings on our list come on a rod that can be hung from a nail. You could also use adhesive hooks or hanging strips which don’t require drilling or hammering into the wall, so they're a good choice for renters.

Larger tapestries will need nailing — or pinning, for more lightweight options — at regular intervals to keep them in place. Self-adhesive alternatives, such as velcro strips, make a good alternative for those who aren't keen on making holes in their wall.

Framing is another option. This won’t work for highly textured pieces or anything too awkwardly-shaped but, for square or rectangular tapestries, adding a large frame can create some serious wow factor.

Fun and affordable, if you need something small to fill in a gap in a gallery area or perk up your home office wall, this modern number with its chunky tassels will help.

Urban Outfitter's Wild West-inspired print taps into the cowboy trend that we’ve been seeing all over social media. Bright and bold, it’s a great statement piece that’ll be sure to grab attention.

Morris & Co's patterns have an enduring appeal for good reason; they're classic and full of charm. If you don't want a whole room of wallpaper, or don't have the budget for it, one of these lovely hangings offer a good alternative.

This one fits over a door frame — use it in place of a door to separate your bedroom from the dressing room, for example, or the living room from the dining area.

With this beginners DIY kit, you can make your very own wall hanging. There's just something so special about homemade decorations, knowing how much time and effort you put into crafting it.

Inside you’ll find everything you need to get started with macrame: yarn, a wooden dowel and an instruction guide.

Habitat always nails the chic-yet-affordable balance, and this fabric wall hanging is a fab example. It’s a great price for the size, and looks much more expensive than it is.

The deep green colourway and botanical print will make a good impact regardless of whether it’s hung on a blank wall or layered into a bold maximalist scheme.

This set is inspired by the natural beauty of Japan, with colourful illustrations depicting scenes from the country's forests and mountain ranges.

At just under £10, it’s great-value for a striking set that’ll look lovely either hanging alone or side by side.

Natural materials like wicker, rattan and jute help add a comfy, lived-in feel to a space. We can’t resist this hanging piece from Sazy, with its striking zigzag pattern and contrasting black weave.

Pinning up a floral tapestry is an easy, inexpensive way to bring a cosy, bohemian feel to a space.

Urban Outfitters has some gorgeous options this season, including this pretty print adorned with delicate flowers and subtle starry details.

We like the contrast between the natural fibres and the black detailing on this straw wall fan; it's simple yet effective. There are other colours available, including this chic neutral design, which is also 50 per cent off in the sale.

This large statement fan leans into the Japandi (Japanese and Scandi) trend; soothing, neutral and earthy. We'd recommend placing it in your bedroom or home office to inject some calming energy into the space.

The two chunky tassels hanging from its centre also add some extra detail and texture.

Delicate and pretty, this handmade wall hanging will add a sweet, feminine touch wherever it's placed. Plus, it taps into the dried flower trend that we're still obsessed with!

A set of three is available here.

This sweet weaved wall hanging will add a bit of rustic flair to your kitchen or bedroom wall. The stylish patterns are handwoven on traditional looms and hung on a sustainable mango wood frame.

One of our favourites, this floral piece has an old-school arty feel that works for both classic and maximalist schemes. Printed on slim bamboo panels, it's something a little different to the typical cotton hanging. It's very large at one metre tall, so ensure you have a suitable run of wall to show it off.

This attractive grassy decoration looks like something you’d see at an Ibiza holiday resort. It's an unusual piece that’ll add some real impact, and all for under £20.

It’s free delivery, too.

This feather wall hanging is a little different to the other macrame designs on this list — and it's a great price for the size. In earthy hues, it's a good pick for Scandi or bohemian interior schemes.

Simple yet smart, this small handmade piece will look lovely wherever it's placed — whether it's in the hallway, home office or downstairs toilet. It's an impactful way to add texture, colour and interest to a wall without spending a fortune.

Astrology fans will love this moon phase wall hanging, which will add a shimmery flash of gold to a bedroom scheme.

Place it near an open window in the warmer months and the charms will gently clink together in the breeze.

If you told guests that you found this tapestry-style piece in an antique shop, we think they'd believe you.

It's muted but will still add some real wow factor to a large wall space, and neutral enough to suit most interior schemes.
