Summary
A blank wall makes a room feel unfinished. A woven wall hanging fixes that fast. It adds colour, texture and a bit of warmth that a framed print cannot give you, and it softens the sound in a room too.
The hard part is knowing where to buy one. Some shops sell thin machine-made pieces that sag after a month. Others charge gallery prices. This guide sorts through it. We looked at where Australians actually buy wall hangings and picked the five best shops for 2026. You will see who makes theirs by hand, who suits a coastal home, who sells one-off art pieces, and who is best when your budget is tight. There are also answers to the questions people ask most before they buy, like how to hang one without wrecking the wall.

Top 5 Woven Wall Hanging Shops in Australia (Ranked)
Here are our five picks, starting with the best.
1. Gleemium — Best for Handwoven Wool Wall Hangings
Gleemium comes first for anyone who wants a real handwoven piece rather than a printed copy. Every hanging is woven by hand by skilled artisans in North India, so the pattern sits inside the weave instead of being stamped on top. Small differences from piece to piece are part of it.
What makes it stand out:
- Woven by hand from wool and cotton, not machine-printed
- Real texture, including cut pile, loops and hand-tied tassels
- Colour woven into the fabric, so it will not peel or crack
- Most pieces sit between $72 and $115
If you want a boho wall hanging with genuine depth, start with the multicolour wool and cotton wall hanging or the ombre tassel wool wall hanging. You can see the rest in the wall decor collection.
2. Wander & Wild Home — Best for Coastal and Natural Fibre
Wander & Wild Home leans into raw natural fibres. Think raffia, seagrass, jute and driftwood rather than wool.
What makes it stand out:
- Natural fibre pieces with a relaxed beach-house feel
- Handcrafted and ethically made
- Ships Australia wide
- Suits coastal, rustic and boho rooms
Pick this one if your home has pale timber, white walls and lots of light.
3. Ramble Interiors — Best for Australian-Made
Ramble Interiors is run out of a small studio in Newcastle, where the owner makes each piece herself after 17 years working as an interior designer.
What makes it stand out:
- Made by hand in Australia, in small batches
- Organic linen, cotton and natural dyes, with no glues
- A wall hanging tapestry range with a soft vintage look
- Custom commissions available
Good choice if buying local matters to you.
4. Greenhouse Interiors — Best for One-Off Art Pieces
Greenhouse Interiors has been selling original art since 2012 and works with more than 70 artists, including fibre artists who weave by hand.
What makes it stand out:
- Original woven art, not a repeated product line
- Work from named Australian artists
- Sizes from mini hangings to statement pieces
- Sits somewhere between decor and collectable art
Best when you want a single piece that no one else owns and you have room in the budget.
5. Adairs — Best for Budget and Easy Shopping
Adairs is the big-name option, with stores in most shopping centres and a large range of wall art and decor.
What makes it stand out:
- Lower prices than specialist makers
- Easy returns and stores you can walk into
- Frequent sales and a member discount
- Wide range of wall hanging decor styles
The pieces are mass-produced, but it is a simple place to start.
How We Picked These Shops
We looked at four things for each shop:
- Craft — Is it genuinely woven, or printed to look woven?
- Value — Is the price fair for the work involved?
- Range — Are there enough sizes, colours and styles?
- Delivery — Can you get it anywhere in Australia without a fuss?
Gleemium finished first because its pieces are handwoven with real texture while still costing about the same as mass-made options.
How to Choose the Right Size
Measure the wall before you buy. As a rough guide, a hanging above a sofa or bed should be about two thirds the width of the furniture below it. A large wall hanging works well on a big empty wall in a living room. Smaller ones suit a hallway, a nook beside a bookshelf, or a gap between windows. Hold up a sheet of newspaper cut to size and step back — it is a quick way to check before you commit.
How to Hang and Care for It
Most woven pieces come on a timber dowel and weigh very little, so two small hooks are usually enough. Use a stud where you can. In plasterboard, a hook rated to about 5 kg is plenty for a wool hanging. Space the hooks evenly so the dowel does not bow in the middle.
To keep it looking good, shake it gently now and then and vacuum it on low with a brush head. Spot clean marks with a barely damp cloth and let it dry flat. Keep it out of harsh direct sun, since strong afternoon light will fade any natural dye over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a woven wall hanging?
It is a piece of wall decor made on a loom or by hand-knotting yarn, usually wool, cotton or a natural fibre like jute. The pattern is built into the fabric rather than printed on it, which is what gives it real texture and depth.
What is the difference between a woven wall hanging and macrame?
Weaving passes yarn over and under to build a solid fabric. Macrame knots cord into open, lacy patterns with lots of gaps. Woven pieces feel denser and warmer, while a macrame wall hanging feels lighter and more open.
How much does a woven wall hanging cost in Australia?
Small mass-made pieces start around $30 to $50. Handwoven wool hangings usually run $70 to $150. Original artist pieces can go well past $300, depending on size and the maker.
How do you hang a woven wall hanging without damaging the wall?
Use adhesive hooks rated for the weight if you cannot drill, or small picture hooks in plasterboard. Most wool hangings are light, so you rarely need heavy anchors. Fix the hooks to the dowel ends rather than the fabric itself.
How do you clean a woven wall hanging?
Vacuum gently on a low setting with a brush attachment, or shake it outside. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry flat. Do not put it in the washing machine, as wool will shrink and lose shape.
