How much does a wall hanging cost in Bangladesh?
A handmade wall hanging costs about ৳150 to ৳5,000, and the material decides most of the price. Jute and macramé sit at the bottom, nakshi kantha and framed pieces at the top. If you buy one piece, make it a nakshi kantha: it costs more than macramé, but it's stitched entirely by hand and it's the most distinctive thing on this list. For a cheap, light fill on a rental wall, macramé or jute does the job.

How much is a nakshi kantha wall hanging?
Usually ৳700 to ৳5,000, depending on size, how much of the cloth is covered in stitching, and whether it comes framed.
- Small wall mats: ৳700 to ৳2,200 at Kumudini in January 2026. Its kantha is stitched in Jamalpur, Saidpur, Jashore and Manikganj.
- Unframed hangings: ৳786 to ৳4,726 at Aarong in October 2026. The top price was a 33.5-inch tapestry with a flower motif.
- Framed tapestries: ৳3,144 to ৳5,214 at Aarong.
- Mid-size panels: a 30 × 20 inch kantha wall hanging was ৳3,500 at Dream Collection.
A frame adds a lot to the price but protects the stitching from dust and hands. Unframed kantha on a wooden rod is cheaper and easier to take down for washing.
Check the stitches before you pay: hand stitching is slightly uneven, machine stitching is perfectly regular. Our guide to handmade vs machine nakshi kantha shows what to look for, the nakshi kantha price guide covers quilts and saris, and the Nakshi Kantha craft guide explains the stitches and the regions.
How much does a macramé wall hanging cost?
Most handmade macramé hangings cost ৳450 to ৳1,500, and large pieces with intricate designs go up to about ৳5,000. It's cheaper than kantha because it's quicker to make and cotton cord is cheap.
- Karujog, a Kushtia brand whose pieces are knotted by women artisans, listed a 14-inch sun-shaped hanging at ৳450 and a 15 × 35 inch cotton-and-cane piece at ৳795.
- Craftizz listed a cotton hanging on a 16-inch wooden rod at ৳755 and mandala moon hangings at ৳1,150.
- Ethnique Vale listed a set of three fern-pattern hangings, each about 29 to 34 inches long, at ৳1,400.
- Chaturbhuj, Shamima Nasrin's business in Dinajpur, prices from ৳200 for small pieces to ৳5,000 for large ones, BSS reported in September 2026.
Yes, they're made in Bangladesh, not just imported. Shamima started in 2020 with ৳3,000 of raw materials, and now about 30 local women work for her making wall mats, plant hangers, shelves and dreamcatchers, some of which sell abroad. BaSE, a fair-trade business in the southwest owned by women producer groups, makes jute macramé, and has been a member of the World Fair Trade Organization since 1999.
The knotting itself is old. Macramé was a 19th-century speciality of Genoa in Italy, and the word comes from the Turkish *makrama*, a napkin or towel.
What do jute and wooden wall hangings cost?
Jute is the cheapest handmade option and wood sits in the middle.
- Jute. Karujog's jute flower hanger (10.5 × 21 inches) was ৳480, and a six-piece seagrass-and-jute wall set from Crafting Corner in Pabna was ৳899. Aarong's printed jute hangings were ৳1,010 and ৳1,400, and the government's BSCIC online market listed jute wall mats from ৳150 to ৳580.
- Wood. Aayan Bazar listed a hand-painted wooden hanging, 15 × 8.5 inches, at ৳2,500. HATIM Furniture prices its wall decor at ৳700 to ৳4,500.
- Rickshaw-painted tin. Painted tin panels in the rickshaw style make a bright, light wall piece. Our rickshaw art guide covers prices and where painters still work.
Jute is a natural fibre and doesn't like damp, so keep it off wet walls and out of the bathroom.
For a natural-fibre piece on JADUZ, this set of three hogla pata wall-hanging flower vases is handmade:
What does other wall decor cost?
If you searched "wall decor price" or "wall art price", most of what you'll find online is printed. Othoba's 2026 price guide puts small canvas prints at ৳800–৳1,500, large ones at ৳2,000–৳5,000 and a wall frame set at ৳1,200–৳3,500. A nine-piece PVC Arabic calligraphy set was ৳590 on BDstall.
Our view: one handmade piece does more for a room than a five-panel print set at the same price. A small original painting or a calligraphy canvas works where a textile feels too busy. Read the painting price guide and the Islamic calligraphy wall art guide for those. These two pieces are hand-painted by the Dhaka artist Karunika:
One of a kind
Sold outWhich wall hanging suits a living room, bedroom or rented flat?
Size it to the furniture below it, then pick the material for the room.
- Living or drawing room. One large kantha or a framed tapestry above the sofa, no wider than about two-thirds of the sofa and hung 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) above its back. Our drawing room decoration ideas cover the rest of the room.
- Bedroom. A soft textile above the headboard, fixed on a proper hook, never on adhesive strips over the bed.
- Rented flat. Light pieces: kantha, macramé or jute. They hang from one hook, and they roll up when you move. Our guide to decorating a small rented flat has more ideas.
- Hostel or student room. A small macramé piece or a jute mat; see our hostel room decoration ideas.
How do you hang it without damaging the wall?
For light pieces on a smooth painted wall, adhesive picture strips work. Command's large strips, four pairs together, hold up to 16 pounds (about 7 kg). The maker warns against using them over beds or for valuable items, and asks you to wait seven days after painting a wall.
- Textiles: slide a wooden rod or dowel through a sleeve at the top, and hang the rod from two small hooks so the cloth doesn't sag in the middle.
- Heavy wood or framed pieces: use a proper hook or a screw with a wall plug, not tape or glue.
- Damp walls: keep textiles off outer walls through the monsoon, and leave a finger's gap behind them so air can move.
Can you make a wall hanging at home?
Yes. A small macramé piece is the easiest first project, and all you need is cotton cord and a wooden rod. Cut equal lengths of cord, fold each over the rod, tie rows of square knots down to a fringe, and trim the ends straight. A jute mat or a fabric panel stitched with a simple running stitch works too. Kantha and carved wood are different: they take skills learned over years, so buy those from the people who have them.
Where can you buy wall hangings in Dhaka?
- Craft stores. Aarong stocks kantha, jute and embroidered hangings, and Kumudini sells kantha wall mats. New Market, Aarong and Jatra carry wooden, bamboo and iron hangings, nakshi kantha, rickshaw paintings and calligraphy. The Karupanno outlet in Shukrabad sells shataranji rugs and wall mats.
- Small makers online. Karujog, Craftizz, Ethnique Vale and Dinajpur's Chaturbhuj sell macramé and jute online, and the government's BSCIC online market lists pieces by small producers.
- JADUZ. Every piece in wall art is handmade by a maker JADUZ has vetted, with the maker's name and district on it, and more makers are joining. You pay cash on delivery, after checking the piece at the door (delivery, returns).
