Isn't it true that everything that was once a trend will come back again? We've noticed a trend lately and it's the comeback of the macrame hanging basket. You may remember this hit from the '70s. Your mother probably had a few of these in your dining room when you were a child. Hanging baskets made of jute with woven beads and knotted fringes could be seen everywhere back then. And since in recent years everyone has been excited about the fact that rope, jute and twine can add the desired texture and colorful color to home accessories, now macrame is trendy once again.
Since we don't always have a lot of shelf and table space available, it's often much better to hang our planters. This saves space and is inexpensive. The old-school hanging baskets can be seen in many variations. They can serve as colorful pops of color in modern design or remain more neutral while plant choices add beautiful pops of color. We recommend spathiphyllum, ferns and ivy. Cacti and succulents are perfect for hanging terrariums. The macrame hanging basket can be braided from a variety of materials - rope, cord, leather, even t-shirts. Watch the video below andtry it yourself!
Design with wooden beads
A hanging basket with a macrame design is a beautiful addition to any interior. The beautifully braided rope can be spiced up with other decorations, such as these small wooden beads. They add the finishing touches to the entire design and make it more interesting. If you do thatMake macrame yourself, you should link the wooden beads in the desired places and tie them well so that they stay firmly in place. Of course, this requires a bit of sensitivity, but this also applies to the technology as a whole.
A beautiful window decoration
If you don't have any free floor space in your apartment for houseplants, you shouldn't necessarily do without it. Hanging potted plants save space and beautify the home in a beautiful way. The macrame hanging basket is perfect for this. It can be hung anywhere in the home and freshen up the atmosphere. It looks particularly beautiful as a hanging window decoration and can easily be hung on the curtain rail.
Design my Ombre Effect
The macrame for the hanging baskets can be used to create atmospheric color accents in the interior. You can simply buy white models or make them yourself and then paint them in any color. The popular Ombre coloring technique goes quite well with this. Simply select any color and use it to create a gradient. You can leave the upper part white and only color the lower part. To do this, you need textile paint in two different shades – one dark and one lighter. This technique can be used to create a modern hanging decoration for the home.
The knotting technique rediscovered
Although tying macrame knots is an ancient tradition from the Orient, it is gaining popularity again today. This allows you to beautifully display the houseplants in your home or office and save space at the same time. The interesting knots give the pots a beautiful, decorative effect and can also spice up the most simple plant pots.
The hanging basket as a splash of color
Since the hanging baskets are tied with threads, they can be found in many different colors. This means you can adapt the hanging decoration to the furnishings or add a colorful accent. Potted plants in macrame look very beautiful against a white wall and decorate the wall atmospherically.
Combine different colors
If you prefer something colorful, you can create an interplay of different colors and knots in the room. In this way, for example, unused corners in the room can be decorated and transformed into highlights in the interior. With several potted plants, you can even create an entire vertical garden yourself and invite nature into your own four walls.
Modern in black
Monochrome colors go very well with a modern interior, both for furnishings and decoration. If you have furnished your apartment in monochrome, then you can also choose matching hanging baskets. At first glance, black macrame seems rather unsuitable for natural decoration, but it looks really elegant in a modern room.
Decoration for the garden terrace
However, this hanging basket is not only suitable for indoor use, but can also beautify the garden, balcony or terrace. Especially if you don't have much space, this space-saving variant offers a very good alternative to plant pots and flower boxes. The hanging basket can easily be hung in front of the wall and creates an ambience that makes you feel good.
Also popular as a wedding decoration
In fact, this hanging decoration is so popular that it is often used as wedding decoration. With such hanging baskets, the wedding flowers can be beautifully hung over the tables instead of taking up space on them. The elegantly linked thread can be easily adapted to the rest of the wedding decoration and creates a beautiful overall picture.
Nice spring mood over the table
