A great way to bring that nautical feel into your home is by adding a touch of rope to your decor. I love the rugged, nautical look of rope in a home. If you’re looking to purchase rope furniture, wall decor or accessories, there’s plenty of items around, but you can also DIY and get creative with rope decor.
A unique company to check out is StairRopes.com. They make stair ropes, bannister ropes, rope handrails and barrier ropes to measure. Definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in installing a rope bannister or railing.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of monkey fist decor. I’ve got monkey fist door stoppers all over my house. They come in different sizes, colors, and can be used as door stops or as an accent piece on a shelf. Here’s some great photos of knot decor to inspire you.

Thanks for following me! Too funny, my hubs makes me as many monkey fists as I ask for them. He’s a master in marlinspikeseamanship! Check out my Pinterest board, most of the pins are his work: http://pinterest.com/enchantedcshels/rope-work-as-art/
