wallhanging

Art on walls

A wallhanging is a decorative textile or artwork designed to be hung on a wall rather than framed or placed on furniture.

Tapestries, woven pieces, and macramé are common examples: She made a macramé wallhanging for the nursery.

The term emphasizes the object's function as vertical decoration.
