wall hangings

Art on walls

Wall hangings are decorative items designed to be displayed on walls—tapestries, weavings, quilts, macramé, or similar textile or fabric pieces.

The term distinguishes these from framed art: The gallery featured handwoven wall hangings from Guatemala.

Wall hanging (singular) can also function as an adjective: a wall-hanging planter.
