Polka Dots

Use the shape of your chair to guide your design. We used polka dots to compliment the rounded shape of this chair and bold color to give it a kick.

Polka dots in various sizes and colors give zest to this lively green chair. The circular pattern suits the curves of the seat and chair back. Base-coating in medium green spray and then brushing with a lighter shade of green creates a shadow effect that mimics aging.
