ICYMI: TikTok loves needlepointing. If you scroll through the app, you’ll find creators showing off their latest finished pieces and artists making their very own painted needlepoint canvases. What started out as a love for small, sentimental stitched accents online is now a full-fledged home decor trend IRL. In its recent trends report, Etsy even named “Time-Honored Textiles” — which also includes quilts, crochet, and embroidery — as one of the most buzzworthy styles for spring and summer 2024. 

You don’t have to be super crafty to get into the needlepoint spirit at home, though. If you love the look but not the DIY of it all, you can find plenty of gorgeous pieces online. From the viral Furbish pillows to vintage wall art, here are a few of my top picks for the best needlepoint home decor to shop right now. 

Furbish Studio Mini Needlepoint Pillow
$95

Furbish pillows have a cult following for their chic-meets-kitschy needlepoint details and funny phrases, like “My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations” and “I never repeat gossip, so I listen carefully.” The brand also makes one for the Swifties with the “It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me” pillow.

Sashay Shantay Door Hanger
$78$59

Furbish also carries door hangers, like this cheeky Sashay Shantay style that features the classic continental stitch, accented by twisted corded detailing. It measures 5.5 x 10 inches and doubles as a fun “do not disturb” sign alternative.

Times Past Quilts Floral Needlepoint Pillow
$249

If you love the look of a needlepoint pillow but want something more traditional, you can also find some gorgeous vintage options on Etsy — like this rare floral needlepoint design with its vibrant colors and impressive detailing. Place it on your living room accent chair for a pop of color, or toss it on your bed as a showstopping centerpiece.

Vintage Framed Zodiac Needlepoint Sign
$68$48

This framed zodiac needlepoint sign, which dates back to the 1970s, is another vintage piece I’m loving right now. It features a whimsical Aries motif stitched in vibrant colors and framed in a complementary mahogany-colored wood.

Smathers & Branson Needlepoint Coasters
$95

You don’t have to lean into the trend with just wall art and throw pillows. Instead, you can opt for more subtle needlepoint touches, like these Smathers & Branson coasters. They’re available in three different patterns — including a fun golf print — and come framed with durable wooden backings. If coasters aren’t your vibe, this personalized catch-all tray is also gorgeous.

Han Bass Needlepoint You Make Me Daisy Needlepoint Pillow Kit
$94

If you’re feeling crafty, you can also try your hand at a DIY needlepoint pillow kit, like this one from Etsy. It comes with everything you need to make your own floral-printed pillow, including the back fabric and trim.
