Favorite Patterns: Dots

Dot patterns have been around for a very long time, and show no signs of going anywhere. Recently they seem to be popping up everywhere from wallpapers to bedding, and more. Dots are a whimsical pattern that can add a fun, relaxed element to any space. Try incorporating this pattern into your home by wallpapering an accent wall or reupholstering an existing piece of furniture. Below are some of my favorite dot patterned home decor items including an area rug, wallpapers, bedding, a room divider, and even a shower curtain!

Good Style Design: Teal and Grey Dining Room

Last but not least, I want to share my favorite dining room design from Good Style Design. This teal and grey dining room incorporates classic furniture with an updated color scheme. Keep it simple by painting the walls in Benjamin Moore's Plymouth Rock or go bold and select a teal paint color that coordinates with the area rug and dishware color. I would suggest using the white upholstered chair at either end of the table mixed with a set of aluminum chairs on both long sides. This look will give an eclectic designer feel and is perfect for a transitional or contemporary home.

Good Style Design: Lime and White Home Office

I am a big fan of a great home office. These days more and more people have the opportunity to work from home, and a dedicated space to focus on work is a must-have. A home office should be an easily organized, functional, and comfortable space that you actually want to spend time in. This light, bright home office scheme can brighten even the darkest of days. Accents of lime green tie the look together while adding an element of fun. We've all got work to do, so let's make the best of it!
