Welcome to the Pattern Inspiration Party!

There are other patterns that I find more riveting than circles, but as I mentioned in my last post, I decided to use them for today's post. I also thought that it might be the least likely pattern that others would post about so, for variety's sake, it seemed a good choice.

Here are just some of the ways that circles can be incorporated into your design... (I'm trying to keep this post more compact because of the linky party, but I may not have succeeded.)

Add circles to your room design by attaching a transclucent dot fabric over ready-made curtain panels...

You could add them to your bedroom with a fun mix of fabrics...

How about furniture? I'm in love with these chairs. Notice that the circular pattern is repeated in the mirror (and the tufting of the bench). Repeating a design element more than once in a room helps the completed space feel more cohesive.

Circular ottomans/tables can be a nice option because they're easier to maneuver around and don't have any sharp corners for the kids (and adults!) to run into...

Circles can also be used to soften a space...
