Macramé Trends 2026: The Top 3 Styles Every Maker Should Know

If you've spent any time scrolling through Pinterest or flipping through the latest interior design magazines, you've probably noticed something: macramé is becoming a favourite in homes around the world.

And honestly, we're not surprised.

As we look ahead to 2026, macramé continues to evolve. While the craft stays true to its handmade roots, the designs are becoming more modern, functional and even more thoughtful. We're seeing influences from interior design, sustainability and the growing appreciation for slow living, all shaping the projects makers are choosing to create.

At Hoooked, we love seeing how our community puts its own spin on classic techniques. The best part about following trends isn't copying them exactly, it's finding inspiration and making them your own.

So, what can we expect in 2026? Here are the three macramé trends we think every maker should have on their radar.

For years, wall hangings have been the poster child of macramé, and we still love them. But in 2026, the spotlight is shifting towards projects that are just as practical as they are beautiful.

This trend also reflects a wider shift towards conscious living. More people are choosing quality over quantity and investing time in making items they'll enjoy for years instead of buying something disposable. That's why functional macramé is one of the biggest trends we'll continue to see this year. 

If you're looking for inspiration, choose a project you'll genuinely use around the house. Think less "look but don't touch" and more, "use it every day." 

If 2025 celebrated clean lines and minimalism, 2026 is embracing something a little softer.

One of the most exciting trends we're seeing is the move towards organic designs inspired by nature. Instead of perfectly symmetrical patterns, makers are experimenting with lines textures and asymmetrical compositions.

If your fringe isn't perfectly even or one side hangs slightly differently from the other, don't worry. Handmade projects aren't supposed to look like they came off a factory production line. Those little differences are what make them yours. 

If there's one trend that goes beyond style, it's sustainability. In fact, we'd argue this isn't really a trend anymore. It's becoming the standard.

Today's makers care about where their materials come from, how they're produced and how long their finished projects will last. That's one of the reasons recycled cotton cords continue to grow in popularity. They allow crafters to create beautiful projects while making more conscious choices about the materials they use.

At Hoooked, sustainability has always been close to our hearts. We believe creativity and responsibility go hand in hand, and choosing high-quality recycled fibres means your projects are designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
