There are many great reasons to choose a macrame wall hanging for your home. They are beautiful pieces of artwork, they brilliantly evoke feelings and reactions from people looking at them, and they are something unusual and special. But something to also consider is that they are a greener choice of art. A macrame wall hanging Australia has no chemicals used in its making, no harsh products, no power or electricity, and can be easily made from natural and safe materials and products. Pottery uses a kiln and chemicals in the dyes, painting uses chemicals in the paints, while art does not necessarily have a huge carbon footprint, it has some. If you are wanting to use more natural means of creating plant holders, mirror frames and wall hangings, why not try Macrame?

Durable art

An artist with expertise in Macrame knots can create amazing and durable pieces. From wall hangings, plant hangers, mirror frames, wine bottle holders, coasters, couch covers and more. People who made themselves a plant hanger using macrame in the 1980s are still enjoying its use today. Investing in a large piece like a wall hanging gives you something you can enjoy for years to come. That is a lot better for the environment than having to replace art every few years. If you get to a point where the hanging no longer suits the décor of that room, move the hanging to another room! A macrame wall hanging Australia, when you buy from a good shop, is well crafted, handmade, strong and does not require a lot of special lighting to make it look good.
