| The baby's room is the ideal place to start out with polka dot play. Here we can see a glimpse of colorful polka dots painted on to the wall of the room. They're simple. They're spaced out. And they're pretty in color without being too bold. This is a great example of the pretty playfulness of the polka dots. Private Comment

| If you're not quite daring enough to paint the baby's room with polka dots then you might want to start out by hanging up a piece of polka dot art in the room. Use colors that compliment the space and soothe the baby. Private Comment

| Adults can also find creative ways to use polka dots in home design with a style that is a bit more toned-down. Here we see a series of black polka dots that make a statement without taking anything away from the rest of the room. The symmetrical pattern and singular color here bring a small sense of fun into the room while allowing the space to remain chic. Private Comment

| Here's a bolder example of polka dots used to create a design on the wall. The dots here aren't entirely round and they are small in shape. Both of these factors tone down the polka dot attitude and yet let that playfulness emerge on the wall. Private Comment

| This is another example of the play on polka dots on a wall. Varying the size, shape and color of the polka dots creates an interesting texture for the eyes. This is definitely a fun room but it's not excessively demanding on the eyes. With neutral furniture, this room could be fun but grown-up. Private Comment

| Adults may also look for pieces with patterns that barely hint at polka dots but do have some element of that in them. I think that this rug is a great sample of something like that. It's got polka-dot flavor and fun. Private Comment
