Signs and wording
This is a really cute and fun way to spell out some special word, whether it's for a specific occasion or purely a decorative addition to your home.

Pendant light
Replace an ugly, outdated light cover by wrapping a hanging wire plant basket in rope and then weaving some strands throught it for a pretty design.

Lampshade
Disguising a tattered old lampshade on a tight budgest is as easy as wrapping some rope arround it. You can even dye the rope if you want to introduce some color, but the neutral and earthy tone of sisal rope will match just about anything.

Hanging Lanterns
This hanging lanterns look great both indoors and outdoors.

Ottoman
Looking for a new ottoman but can't find anything affordable that's to your taste?
why not wrap some rope arround an old tire and make your own? it's just a tiny bit more complicate than that, but once it's finished and being admired, no one will believe you actually made it yourself.

Ropey Lights
Threading a string of fairy lights through a piece of rope is an extremely easy way to make an eye-catching light feature. You can tie the finished rope light in a knot and hang it up or simply drape it over your mantelpiece or bookshelf; you can also use an array of different types of rope(thickness, material and color shade) to create a much larger feature.
