I bet the one of the first things you think of when you hear “polka dots” is a nursery or little kids room. That seems the obvious design choice. But polka dots are a super versatile pattern that can be very chic. After I did my hallway in a tone on tone polka dot pattern, I got on pinterest to find some more examples of polka dots used in a more “grown up” way.
I love mixing patterns. This room is a good example of mixing patterns with out it being too crazy or busy.

My hallway :)
Whether it is a rug, curtains, a chair, pillow, art, headboard, beadspread or your walls, polka dot can be a fun and chic addition to a space.
Do you like to play with pattern? What are some of your favorites???
I love polka dots! i don’t have any in my house though but I did just order the daily deal from Target for a polka dot rain coat! You showcased some great places!
I think my fav’s are the kitchen counter stools, the bed pillows, and is that your hall way I see snuck in there?

I honestly like your hallway the best out of all of these! The tone-on-tone is simply sublime! Although that green tablecloth makes me happy too…
