POLL: Spots or stripes?

If you're big on pattern, I'm sure you have a weak spot for spots and stripes. But which one do you prefer?

If you're not a fan of either, please tell me in the comments section what makes you go 'wow'.

Spots

Stripes

Organic patterns, especially hand carved or nature inspired!

I love patterns. I would choose stripes over dots any day, but I love spanish/hacienda/morrocan patterns. Any pattern that brings a sense of culture and history into a space are alright with me.

POLL: Is there a difference between modern and contemporary style?
Q
Comments (19)
Well I've learnt something new today - according to google, 'Modern' relates to a style from the mid-century, 1920 - 1950 and it never changes. 'Contemporary' is used to describe what is popular right now. I always thought they were the same as I took the word 'modern' on it's actual definition and not what's associated to it through interior design. Either way, I hate them both equally......

I've braved white! I love it because it's so versatile allowing me to change things up whenever I fancy it. The key is to have a second set of slipcovers. I wish more companies did slipcovered sofas, pet owners like me appreciate being able to keep funky smells at bay. I would imagine parents of teenagers would too! ;)

POLL: Dryer or drying rack?

I'm with you all on this one - it's all about space and time with drying! @drywsdad I can relate - I had a party at my flat over the weekend and I only realised that all my washing was out drying across rails/bannisters/radiator until they got there! Fortunately in my house I've got a kitchen-maid drying rack that hangs from the ceiling which is great as well - does anyone else have this?

I'm so bad with this, always keep plastic forks for those 'just incase we have a picnic moment'. Safe to say it's never the weather to have a picnic!!

I love stripes, whether subtle or bold, they're so versatile in mixing with other patterns. Polka dots (American English term) are just too cutesy for me.

I love mixed patterns. When it's done properly, the mix is barely noticeable, but makes such a difference to the punch of a room's effect.

We have to go for stripes - they really help to add a sophisticated look to your decor, whether you're using them on a blind, the carpet or a statement wall.

I voted other. I love patterns with a repeat motif but based on the images shown I like dots/spots to be small and stripes to be more like the current Ralph Lauren wallpaper http://www.designerwallpapers.co.uk/ralph-lauren/signature-papers.html

There is just so much choice - and so much fun to be had when decorating :-)
