Polka dots in a baby’s room are always in style. Whether your preference is modern or classic, you can always find a way to incorporate polka dots while staying true to your personal design style.

Popular in baby bedding, curtains, and rugs, we’ve found inspiring ways to use polka dots in your nursery to get your creative juices going.

Check out this delightful nursery with a painted polka dot ceiling in this classic pale pink and black nursery with decorative painted hot pink swirl accents.

We also like this animal themed nursery with a decorative polka dot wall border along the crib. This small detail makes such a powerful statement. See more at Chic Cheap Nursery for info on the modern furniture, the pink and white polka dot curtains, and the pink and brown polka dot rug which add the finishing touches.

And, don’t think that polka dots are just for girls.  There are plenty of ways to decorate a boy’s baby room with polka dots to get an equally stylish room.  Here’s a beautiful blue, brown and white polka dot baby boy’s room for starters.

Green polka dot nursery with dragonfly & butterfly decor

We found this green polka dot nursery from Alli Taylor and our creative juices started to flow! 

Green is such a versatile color for a baby room and polka dots lend tons of fexibility to your decorating.  This shade of green, in particular, is appropriate for a boy or girl nursery.  It can be brightened up with white or sun yellow accents.  Or, green can be toned down with chocolate brown, mocha, or beige. 

Alli Taylor decorated with an insect themed nursery in mind by embroidering the reversible bumper with butterflies and dragonflies and adorning with like wall hangings.  So cute!  You could easily make this theme a bit more boy-friendly by decorating with turtle and frog wall canvases or removable wall decals. 

Think about introducing other patterns and texture to the polka dots.  We found the luxurious white shag carpet shown in the photo inspiring. It’s a unique touch that brings the warmth and coziness we crave in our baby rooms.  You can create texture with more earth-friendly materials such as a natural grass woven floor mat which would bring a more earthy, modern feel to the nursery.

The 4 piece polka dot baby bedding set (currently on sale for $129), valence, lamp, and wall hangings can all be found at Baby’s ‘R Us.

Blue & Green Polka Dot Themed Nursery Decor

We love this luxurious, modern nursery decor by Bebe Chic.  Called the Bam Bam collection, it is Bebe Chic’s modern take on the classic polka dot themed nursery.  They did this by creatively combining different sized-dots and a crisp scandia turquoise and truffle color palette - exquisite! 

The surprise must-have-item in the set is the delicate suede circle pillow.  This lovely throw pillow would look perfect as an accent for a light-colored glider in a baby’s room.  And, the use of the espresso-colored wooden wall letters adds a classic touch.  If you don’t want to put holes in your walls, consider using personalized wall stickers.

As for the nursery decorating set, you can purchase three or four pieces including a baby sheet, crib bumper, dust ruffle and baby blanket for under $400 from AllModernBaby.com.  A bit pricey, but quite unique.
