Sally England has a modern take on the macrame from the 70s. She hand knots pieces that can be used as room dividers, wall hangings, and even headboards.
In Portland Monthly, Sally England says:Knotted rope can add some really interesting texture to a space, especially on a large scale. Because I generally work with looser knot structures, my room dividers would be great in an open loft-like environment where flow and delineation of space is needed but complete separation is not.
I agree. According to her website, she has an online shop opening soon.

Um, GENIUS! Love the room divider and I could definitely use one of those headboards. I am really like the modernizing of macrame. I almost bought some macrame plant holders (that you hang from a hook) this summer at a garage sale but put them back because I suck at taking care of plants. However, a room divider or headboard would be totally functional for me.
Aweosme idea!
Love the curtain. I remember doing macrame in elementary school. :)

Neat! I really like the wall hanging. It's like lace, but on a bigger, chunkier scale.
So many things on her website are just plain awesome. I would LOVE to have one of these in my home.
very pretty items....thanks for sharing.............
These items are the reason macrame was so popular years ago.I'm happy to see someone bringing the best of the past forward to today.Years ago you could find furniture that was knotted rope.The room dividers are the tip of the iceberg of what can be done with macrame.Great post!
I love it, but I love 70's-style macrame, too, so I might not be the best judge.
So yesterday, so 70's--I LOVE IT!!
I love the room divider. I remember how to do that stitch.
i struggle to see this as modern
