Knowing the Ropes: Rugged Good Looks

Recently, 我们注意到，沿海地区的室内设计在他们的生活空间中包含了一些质朴的暗示，并在他们独一无二的房间里使用了小尺寸的绳子. 耐寒的元素是一个完美的衬托，更精致的生活空间的特点, 建立一种设计上的拔河比赛，可以是非常迷人的.

Liz Stiving-Nichols，首席兼高级设计师 Martha’s Vineyard Interior Design, 她解释说，在沿海环境中生活和工作当然为她的许多客户的家提供了灵感. 她的室内设计工作室“喜欢给我们的沿海环境一个微妙的点头，而不是过分或更糟……建立一个主题。!她的建议无价之宝，一语双关.

“When adding coastal elements, 这一切都是365体育官网客户端微妙之处，创造一个毫不费力的纹理和形状的平衡,” Stiving-Nichols continues. 就像上述设计中的控制台桌或前面展示的泳池边派对谷仓中用绳子强调的水泥边桌/凳子一样, “将质朴的绳索融入更精致的材料调色板中，达到了平衡.”

作为一种多维中性，绳子适合柔和的调色板和充满活力的颜色. In the above design for an Edgartown home, Stiving-Nichols通过使用三层绳鼓吊灯为生活空间带来质感, 还有蓝绿色的克拉维特面料，上面绣着绳子，装饰着椅子的两边.

In a tiny powder bath conceived by Washashore Home, pictured above, 一面用绳子框起来的镜子，为蓝白相间的梦幻壁纸增添了活力，让美人鱼游弋其间, octopi, whales and lighthouses. More cinnamon than driftwood in hue, 绳镜带来了不同的纹理层，同时仍然发挥了航海主题,” contends Owner and Designer Peyton Lambton, 谁和同为业主/设计师的莎拉·沃尔多一起领导设计工作室. “我们觉得纸和镜子是为彼此而生的!”

Rope还为另一个较小规模的空间提供了额外的奇思妙想, a guest bedroom designed by Casabella Interiors for a 1,008-square-foot, 三间卧室的房子就在海滩上, says owner Michele Chagnon-Holbrook. In a home this small, “every inch matters,” says the designer; and, 考虑到“你从甲板上走出来，发现你的脚在沙子里。,” so does every bedroom, she adds.

因为有一个钥匙窗(和床一起移到了中间), a headboard wouldn't work, explains Holbrook, so Casabella Interiors dreamed up a “suspended,” queen-sized bed that reads like a swing, 创造一种“精致和海洋灵感”的外观, but not typical, like planks or shiplap,” she says. 设计工作室制作了一个固定的平台，并用打结的绳索和钩子将盒子固定在天花板上. The firm was thoughtful in their approach; they purchased the rope from a marine store for authenticity, 用手打结，认为这是正确的尺度.

绳子的美感与铺位间漂亮的内置家具是自然的, wood flooring and ceiling, and the woven panels of the doors. It is functional, too; rope takes the form of monkey’s fist doorstops at the foot of each door and as safety rails for the top bunks so that occupants won’t go bump in the night.
