Guest Picks: Mixing Prints: Spots and Florals
I love the texture of watercolor on this toothy cloth. It's very contemporary but sparse. It would be perfect in minimal spaces or for accenting bold elements.
The geometric aspect of this floral would pair well with a more organic dot. I love the bright colors and the rad hand-drawn details.
Polka dots don't have to be relegated to pillows and textiles.
I love the dots in this simple throw. It's incredibly affordable and great for any space.
I love the argyle and polka dot texture on this quilt. Spots don't have to be so bold to be enjoyed.
This passion flower hand-printed tea towel has a bohemian vibe to it, which makes for an unexpected combination with graphic dots.
DIY spots on a wall, furniture or drapes with a polka dot stencil. It's a great way to get uniform spacing every time.
This painting reminds me of purple fuzzball flowers and thistles, minus the spines. It's bright and cheery and mimics the polka dot pattern.
I could see this fabric and the rustic floral rug paired together in a kitchen: the rug underfoot by the sink and the dot fabric as café curtains or Roman shades just above the sink.
I love this rustic floral print. It's very basic, so it would naturally go well with a crisp dot. I would do a mustard yellow for a modern take on a nautical theme.
Polka dot cloth napkins would go well with floral napkin rings!
An assortment of these bracelet cuffs would go so well with polka dot napkins.
This would work perfectly with the ikat dot pillow from Williams-Sonoma. It's cooky, has accents of beige and ties into the dot-and-florals theme. This would make for a great pillow or table runner.
The ikat dot in beige feels very traditional, but with modern details. I could see this paired with a more cooky floral print for a nice juxtaposition.
Use a wall stencil in your favorite colors to match your space. No matter what, this floral will match anything.
I love the small pin dots on this towel. They're really delicate and can play a great supporting role to a more bold floral pattern.More: Rooms Spring to Life With Bold Floral Patterns
These spots are so fun! They play a game with my eyes: They keep trying to make different shapes out of the negative space.
