Plants and macramé go together like white fur blankets and Scandinavian homes. With the reemergence of Boho and trending #plantlady tags, it’s only natural that macramé plant hangers are popping up everywhere. They were big in 2018 and we predict they aren’t go away anytime soon.
Macramé is such a beautiful craft that can be the perfect finishing detail to a room and we’ll kickstart your hunt with some of our favorite DIYs and buys.
Amazon has several adorable options like the cutie pictured above I’m dubbing the “plant baby sling,” a macrame suspended table to create an entire floating vignette, and even a four-pack, hanging set that should be renamed “the plant lady starter kit.”

This DIY is great for macramé beginners. Alexis of Persia Lou demonstrates how to use just two basic knots (square and wrapped) to build strength and visual interest around a pot. The touch of brass beautifully sets off the planter’s robin’s egg blue color as well.

The best part of going the DIY route is the ability to customize any and everything. Charlene is a textile designer that actually specializes in macramé.

The tiny terracotta beads on this hanger from the Zen Succulent are calling to me. Look closely, as they’ve been incorporated into delicate flower knots.
