Creative Ways to Use Rope in Your Home's Decor

Treat this as a field note from one working house, not a showroom checklist. Earlier in the week when I was searching online for a few more lights to add to my post on nautical rope lighting fixtures, I came across all sorts of creative approaches for using rope in home décor.

To incorporate rope into your home's decor on a much smaller scale, make it really simple and pick up a pair of Restoration Hardware's Dakota Rope Drapery Tiebacks:
