"Your canvas needs color, begin with your favorite"

Paint colors, along with different patterns should flow with your theme. Hot colors this year are soft pinks, and chocolate.

When we talk about decorating with dots, we suggest that you consider using three colors. Unless you are seeking a more contemporary look, say black and white. Which is incredibly huge right now as well.

Incorprate patterns, such as stripes, toile, to provide a rich, classic look.

Above is a sample of a very popular trio, that will surely make your room pop with a unique flair.
