Polka Dots in Design

Polka dots are fun! Usually when we think about using polka dots in design; we think of a child's room. Polka dots first became popular on clothing in Britain in the late 19th Century and were associated more often than not with designs for children. These patterns consisting of circles can be used on any variety of decorative objects: bedding, floor covering, fabrics, wall covering, lighting, drapery treatments and even drapery finials.

Finestra offers a hand painted "polka dot option" on all sizes of our plain ball finial. They are offered to fit 1 3/8", 2", and 3"D poles. There are 12 colors in our Children's Palette to choose from: 6 pastel colors and 6 primary colors. The color combinations and effects are endless!

Don't see a color that coordinates with your design? No problem! Choose any Ben Moore or Sherwin Williams paint color and we will purchase the paint and customize your finials, poles and brackets for you!
Using the Children's Color Palette can also be helpful when accenting polka dots as seen above. This bed corona was constructed with Firma-flex and has three of the Finestra button swirl finials on top to accent the polka dot fabric in a whimsical way.
