Did you hear the news?  Polka dots are back in fashion, both in clothing and in home decor.  No longer meant for a child’s room, polka dots are popping up on fabric, furniture and accessories for many areas of your home.

• Polka dots will add a whimsical touch to any room in your home and when used in a sophisticated neutral, like these chairs, they lose all resemblance to a child’s space.

• If you prefer something a bit more “in your face” how about a bright red tablecloth sprinkled with cheery white polka dots; sure to wake you up in the morning. 

• A subtle dot pattern adds texture and interest to a solid color.  For example, P. Kaufmann offers several different “spotted” patterns that are subtle enough for formal window treatments yet youthful enough to use in a playroom or family room.

Don’t be afraid to use this playful pattern in your home.  A bit of whimsy, subtle or overt,  never hurt anyone.
