The &#8220;polka&#8221; dance was popularized in the l9th Century and its bouncy, jumpy steps mimic the polka dot pattern. The word polka actually means a &#8220;Czech woman&#8221;.\u00a0 Some say that Walt Disney created the polka dot craze when he was designing Minnie Mouse and a blob of ink fell on her red skirt and Walt declared the polka dot his invention.\u00a0 In 1926, Miss America was photographed wearing a polka dot bathing suit and in the \u00a0l940&#8217;s, Christian Dior revolutionized women&#8217;s fashion with &#8220;The New Look&#8221; with a collection full of polka dots and in 1960, the infamous song, &#8220;Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Polka Dot Bikini,&#8221; hit number one on Billboard&#8217;s Hot 100 songs.\u00a0 No wonder that polka dots continue to be an integral part of our culture as an ever evolving decorative element.\u00a0 Polka dots have found a new zest as a modern, energetic and classy pattern.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9731 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit.png\" alt=\"Polka2Collage_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit-107x107.png 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Polka2Collage_edit-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/WindowProduct.asp?id=404022\">Tessellation<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Tess1Collage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Tess1Collage_edit.png\" alt=\"Tess1Collage_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A tessellation pattern is composed of one or more geometric shapes that do not overlap or gap and the shape is repeated over and over; all the corners should meet and no lines can lie along another line. The word, &#8220;tessera,&#8221; is a Latin word that means a small stone cube which was used in mosaics by the Sumerians about 4000 B.C. and in many historical Roman buildings. This pattern entered the design world as a &#8220;tiling&#8221; pattern of symmetry.

Camouflage originated from the Parisian slang term, &#8220;camoufler,&#8221; meaning to disguise. The French Army in WWI, commissioned French artists to disguise artillery in the forests, using the earth colors of green, tan, black and brown to evoke the colors of the surrounding environment.\u00a0 From there, the camouflage pattern has been interpreted in endless designs and colors and even given specific names for the different designs.\u00a0 Today, camouflage is anything but a standard pattern and is seen in all colors, sizes and shapes and is hardly a &#8220;disguise&#8221; pattern but a loud fashion statement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9717 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit.png\" alt=\"Camo2Collage_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit-107x107.png 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Camo2Collage_edit-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Camouflage even makes a striking garden wall, keeping watch over a patio.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5F_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9708 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5F_edit.png\" alt=\"5F_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"810\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5F_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5F_edit-222x300.png 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/WindowProduct.asp?id=749842\">Moroccan<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9739 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit.jpg\" alt=\"6AA_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit-107x107.jpg 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/6AA_edit-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Moroccan1Collage_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9728 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Moroccan1Collage_edit.png\" alt=\"Moroccan1Collage_edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Moroccan1Collage_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Moroccan1Collage_edit-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Moroccan pattern derived from Zellige which is the terracotta tile work that is made of chips of tile arranged in a colorful geometric pattern.\u00a0 The most common shape is the eight point star with a unique shape made from overlapping two squares.\u00a0 Hard edges and straight lines are indicative of this pattern and is another design of balance as the star shape is a universal symbol of harmony and cosmic order.
