Rope Decor

Rope was originally made from hemp.

It was recognized early on for the toughness and durability of its fibres,

which could be picked apart and woven into a variety of useful materials.

Rope was still made from natural fibers until the 1950's when synthetic materials started being used. Today commonly used fibers for making rope include, manila, hemp, linen, cotton, coir, jute, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, Kevlar and polyester. Although thousands of years has passed since rope making was first created, how we make and use ropes today stays virtually unchanged except for the materials and technology we use.

We love the versatility of rope especially in interiors.

It can be used for a nautical vibe, french country setting,

industrial look and even in the children's room!

We think it adds a nice textured accent in any environment...

:: a touch of copper ::

We are loving decorating with copper...

whether it's rustic, galvanised or hand hammered,

it all works for us!

Copper is the sweetheart of metals!

It has a warm, burnt tone that brings an old world charm to your home.

We're seeing it everywhere; copper pendant lights in living rooms, soaking tubs and sinks in bathrooms and French style pots and cooking utensils in the kitchen...

Copper is a warmer metallic option than silver, gold or stainless steel.

We know it can be expensive to decorate with but remember you only need a few pieces...

copper looks its best when mixed with other textures like wood, glass and ceramics.

Here are some copper embellished decors that we love!
