Are you seeing spots? You aren’t alone! 2012 saw chevron everywhere (yes, I’m slightly over it) so what do you think will be the chevron of 2013? In my opinion, you are going to be seeing polka dots and geometric prints everywhere. I’m sure you have started to notice the trend!
I love spots. They can be gender neutral for those of you that are planning a nursery or they can be used when transitioning your little one to their first big boy/girl room as they aren’t too babyish and not to grown up.
Dots aren’t a trend to use on every surface, but check out my finds to see some items I think would really set off a room design.
1. Paint palette linen 2. Neon spot cushions 3. Dotty blanket 4. Mini pom pom garland
5. Multi spots removable wallpaper 6. Mini Dot Rug 7. Neon mobile 8. Smartie pillow slip

Because this mom loves polka dots, this is a modern take on a traditional girly pink room. And it is all in the details! Just some design ideas and a bright pink nursery to inspire…
Child’s Name: Sophia
Age: 16 months
Location: Rego Park, NY
What was your inspiration for the room?
It all started with the polka dot animal wall art. We originally shared a room with Sophia so all she had were these animals hanging on the wall behind her crib. When she finally got her own room, these are all we had to start with. I wanted Sophia’s room to be a happy and playful environment. Polka dots and bright colors seemed like the appropriate elements to create my Polka Dot Jungle.
What best describes your decorating style?
I am all over the place! I love muted colors and a clean, contemporary look. But I have a soft spot for bright colors that scream, “Hey, look at me!” I think that my decorating style varies depending on the room I’m decorating. I always thought I would design a traditional nursery but the final product could not be more far from it.
Give us all the details about your room! Don’t forget to share with us any money saving tips you might have learned along the way.
Paint: Behr Paint
Crib: Mercer 3-in-1 Two-Tone Baby Crib ($360) by DaVinci
Dresser: Ikea, 3 Drawer Chest from the Malm Collection
Wall Art: Polka Dot Glitter Jungle Animals
Play Mat: Skip Hop PlaySpot Floor Mat ($79) in Pink and Brown
Polka Dots: These wall decals are from The Simple Stencil
Bins: Metal Bins from Target. I got them for $2!
Curtains: Purchased the polka dot sheers at Bed Bath and Beyond. And of course, I used a coupon for each panel.
What is your favorite item(s) in the room?
My favorite thing about the room is the polka dot border. They look painted on but they’re just decals! It really adds the finishing touch. It was the last thing I did to the nursery.
