Dots are my favorite movie candy (I know, the red ones are the only good ones) and I love the round shapes on fabric, a happy trend for spring design and a great way to perk up a tired chair or sofa or add some bounce to your bed.
Modern Fabrics has a fun grouping of spot-on eco-friendly upholstery fabric that really measures up – all from some of the best modern design houses, including Knoll and Pollock.
The merino lambswool Dot Pillow from our own Viva Terra features lovely shaded fabric rounds lining up on the face of the ultra soft brown fabric ($79 including down insert).
I love how the dots take center stage on this new embroidered green organic cotton duvet and sham collection from Pottery Barn ($39 to $179). The dots are crewel-stitched by hand giving a custom feel to this ready-made bedding, which you can have a blast mixing with florals and other bright and bold shades.
For you little one’s room, toss in a dotty elephant, soft and organic in pink or blue and yellows. It will have a long memory of being tugged on, chewed and loved, and since it’s made of good stuff, no worries. I found it at Eden Home for $14.
And of course, a little dot action for your closet. These polka dot pattern sustainable sneakers from Simple will keep help you stay well rounded for spring. Remember to tiptoe through the tulips!
