Pin it button big

Dalmatian Dots in interiors has been a trend for a bit of time now — and it’s easy to see why. It’s much less rigid than a more strict dot look, and the dalmatian dot is also excellent in another way: its casual nature works great for folks without a lot of DIY skill or patience. We’ve rounded up eight of our favorite DIY projects involving this painted-on pattern — but pay more attention to how these tutorials create the pattern versus what they are patterning on; you could translate this pattern idea to any surface in your home you’d like (not just the ones they’re using in these tutorials!)

Pictured above: This small planter spotted on Fall for DIY is an easy way to experiment with this perky pattern. Find the tutorial here.
