Rope Accents in the Home

I've noticed some rope accents popping up in the design world lately. Obviously, the rope look goes right along with a nautical theme. Nautical theme fits right in with summer. The look is relaxed and casual, perfect for the cottage. 


Here's a look at some furnishings and decorative pieces that are specifically rope-inspired. You may be surprised where rope shows up! 

First, a few interiors using rope accents.


Rope Wall (How cool is that?)




Rope Handrail




Rope Suspended Beds 






Rope Pendant Lights




Rope Mirror




Rope & Glass Coffee Table 



Isn't that coffee table something else? I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

What do you think of using rope in the home? How about wearing it around your neck (in the form of a lovely necklace of course)?
