Polka dot has been in fashion forever! It is one of those trends that will keep showing up time and again. If you love fun cheerful styling, this is one motif you should consider. Its a plucky happy accent and would look amazing in just about any room.

Polka dot is easy to include in so many decor style, cottage chic, country to chic sophistication. What I specially love about this theme is how easy it is to find accents pieces in a vast color palette. Perfect for those who want a custom feel at department store price!!

 Yellow polka dot wall is just the best way to absolutely brighten up any room! A focal wall in cheery color will make it come alive! Perfect boho kitschy twist to boring white :)


The wall art is just so perfect! Love the sophistication of gray velvet and golden yellow. The bright white with just the balance of gray looks amazing! Tip, use wallpaper swatch for instant art.


If you are looking for a quick way to redecorate a girl's room, polka dots decal is just perfect! Its an easy fix and adds the funky bit of color to the all pink palette here. Love!


A little of blue and white looks great with brown and pink. The bit polka dot is just a right with the solid colors. Polka dots is a nice girly motif, be sure to experiment!


Pink and white is a very popular combination. All white room can be glaring, soften it up by adding polka dots in your favorite colors. It will add a homey feel to the space.


The best way to welcome sunny days in laying out happy colors! The dinner set is just so charming, alternate between colors keeping the pattern same for an interesting look :)


Unusual but so striking, green polka dot refrigerator! If you have a piece of furniture you want to experiment with, get dollar store price stickers and give it a temporary makeover!


A fun little surprise to take off the edge off curtains in solid color. Sheer curtains with dots adds just the right dose of cheer to a little girl's room.


This stylized version of polka dots in black on ivory has a nice touch of sophistication. There is the arm chair in the pattern, but the vase and mirror do mimic the same too.


One good way to use different kinds of pattern is to mix them while keeping the same color combination. It is specially good tip when choosing accents.


This bedroom in decorated in blue and red accent colors. The variety of polka dots, checks and floral. The mix is absolutely gorgeous! Recreating this would be easy too.


Another version of mixing patterns. The tangerine yellow is so gorgeous and a rather unique combination with some lovely shades of blue. The colors are just beautiful!

Theme Inspiration: Retro Stylish Seventies !

Vintage and retro interior design are such an interesting study. The trends of seventies were so unique. Elements like Panton chairs, shag rugs, atomic designs, wall paper in psychedelic prints, and the celebration of color. Pink, purple, green, yellow they came together in such unusual combinations. It was a time for unapologetic display. Loud colors and individualistic style. A break away from previous trends.

Always been fascinated with vintage stuff, I love the quirkiness and boho feel from the seventies. The elevated hearth, avacado green living room and the absolute favorite, conversation pits. Enjoy a selection of designs from the seventies, these were some of the coolest years.

Love the shag rug and red fireplace. Everything is so on trend! The egg chairs and panel wall. The atomic inspired art on the wall is so typical of the decade.


Seventies was also know for its Flower Power! Bright colors and floral motif, pink shelf..so cool. This would be perfect even today on a focal wall, just the right amount of kitschy.


Absolutely unique of the era, conversation pits! I would love it any day :) Depressed section of flooring with built in seating. Those yellow and orange might be jarring but the pit, adore!


Shag rug and low seating. This place looks rather stylish and comfortable in its own way. Very boho chic and a simple sophistication. Imagine entertaining here!


Absolutely vibrant, eye popping blues! What really caught my eye was how the curtain is incorporated into the wall art. What interesting times, love the mushroom seat though.


Known for its obsession for bright colors and psychedelic prints this bedroom is straight from the seventies. The colors are bright and an unusual combination, yellow, purple and pink! 


Exposed wall was another feature from the 70s decor. This exposed rock wall is simply stunning. A few furniture pieces and it has the ultimate comfortable cozy feel.


Avacado green and elevated fireplace. A open plan living room, simple open shelves and an absolutely radical design chair. Seventies was know for its contradiction.


Sleek Scandinavian with bold black and gold wall paper. The 70s was all about finding individuality, its uniqueness lied in its contradictions. Combination of gold and black is gorgeous!


Brown, rust and bronze are the dominant colors in this dining room. The chairs are my favorite! It has a very posh stylish feel and the dining set would be perfect even today.


A really fun accent, terrarium ottoman. These are inflatable, how much cooler can it be! An absolutely unique furniture piece. Love the bizarre feel, just calls to me :)

Home accent and upholstery in neon is a good experiment and the pop of color is absolutely fun. Love it! hope you are as inspired :o)

An easy makeover for old furniture with surface damages. Paint them a bright color and it will get the deserved attention. Mid century design was never looked funkier!


Modern color palette of Gray with pops of neon. Using bright colors for accent on a neutral base makes for interesting points of attention. Buy Ikea furniture and consider customizing them. Good value :)


The cuteness of these stools aside love the delicate setup! Neon is so eye catching that even hints of it can transform any corner. You don't have to go big to bring some neon into your lives.


So colorful! Bright and comfortable, this is the perfect relaxing nook. It looks fabulous against the stark white backdrop and instantly warms up the place. Must for those white winters for me :)


Neon colors don't always have to be in the face. Sometimes a piped down version is really attractive. Coral and soothing brown bedding is super stylish. It adds an edgy flair to the bedroom decor.


Hopelessly smitten by mid-century modern. Intense use of turquoise, and yet its coral red that makes all the difference. Gorgeous Pyrex and Catherine Holm enamelware must be feeling right at home!


Accent wall with eye popping colors! Wonderful combination of blue and apple green, so unusual and very striking. If you have it in you, go for a transformation, reupholster and rejuvenate.

As always, try experimenting with small decorative stuff before committing money and time on a larger project. Neon is a still quite in trend. Do consider!
