Rope Inspired Decor

Who knew jute rope could look so chic?! There's just something about using this rugged, age-old material in home decor that adds interest in an unexpected way. It's a great way to introduce texture into a room and adds a casual touch without making a space feel "nautical" or themed. I love the way designer Thom Filicia used thick rope in lieu of a traditional stair rail (directly below). How fantastic does that look? What do you think about rope inspired decor?

  12. I love the rope accents, it's such a classic nautical look that can be incorporated into almost anything! I especially love the glass bowls with the rope wrapped up inside, that could be something that could be replicated relatively inexpensively!
