I usually have rope lying around in my garage, but for the most part, it only makes an appearance in the summer when it's time to go on a camping trip!
However, rope can be transformed into all sorts of stunning things with just a little bit of creativity. Get ready to brighten up your home with a bit of nautical style!

1. DIY sisal lampshade (h/t Sand and Sisal)
This is such an easy way to transform a thrift store lampshade into a beautiful piece of decor! I love the natural look, but you could try painting stripes along the top and bottom of the shade if you want to give it a bit of extra pizzazz.

3. Modern rope lampshade
It can be hard to find a unique accent piece that invites conversation the moment a guest enters the room, but this lamp has all the bases covered. The neutral color of the rope makes the lamp fit with the decor of any room. If you want something with a bit more color, however, choose an unbleached cord and dye it. Get the full tutorial here.
