What is is about polka dots that is so appealing? I adore them and they are going to be a big part of decorating my new home. Polka dots on clothes are fab but they’re also so fun as decorations for any room in the house. You can use a few or lots, big ones or small ones, colourful or monochrome – they just work. There is no room that can’t benefit with polka dotted decor but I especially love them for a kids room – both for boys and girls. Decorating with polka dots is an inexpensive way to add a bit of fun and lots of style to a room and polka dots are so easy to decorate with as they go with any kind of decor. Here are 7 inspiring rooms that show us just how to make polka dots work:
Big, black polka dot stickers decorate one side of this adorable room. The dots are just randomly stuck on to the walls – not in any pattern – making them even more interesting. And they also make the prints and the big round rug stand out more.
From big, black polka dots on the wall to bold polka dot bedding. I love this shared boys room which mixes different graphic shapes and bold colours so well. The black polka dot bedding really pops against those bright yellow shelves.
If you prefer having a little colour in the room, polka dots are great for doing just that. Like in this little boy’s nursery above, a few bright dots can add a splash of colour to a room and also these dots really make that cute toy shelf stand out.
Big and colourful polka dots work just as well for a bolder statement. Instead of a headboard this simple washi tape house shape is brought to life with those multi-coloured dots. I love how the dots have been added to the chair as well to complete the playful look.
I love the clutter and chaos of this room – after all kids never keep their rooms looking perfect, do they? Here, among all the many toys, shapes and wall decorations they’ve gone for one simple wall of small polka dots. Even though there is so much happening in this room, the dots make a little statement of their own and totally add to the look of this room. Love it!
Gold is a colour so under-used for a kids room, especially a little girls room. One of the best ways to add a touch of gold is by using gold polka dot wall decals like they’ve done in the room above. The gold doesn’t take over but instead looks chic and stylish.
Even the most minimal of rooms can benefit with some polka dots like this minimal nursery. I love that they’ve used two different sized polka dots to make even more of an impact. This idea of using different sized dots can be brought to life in so many ways.
The best thing about decorating with polka dots is that there are no rules and no age limits. You can go as minimal or as full on as you like. Polka dots work with any decor and they’re such a simple way of adding a little chic, playful style to any room especially a kids room.
