Though it has its origins in ancient Greece, the key pattern is a very modern-looking motif, and the decoration is particularly ubiquitous at this very moment. Jonathan Adler is rather obsessed with the pattern, using it to add a chic vibe to rugs and other accents, such as the Greek Key Crewel Pillow ($58, above left).
It seems you guys like this look too: CiaoBella recently found these sleek window shades with a key pattern, and Ginasugar bookmarked West Elm's wall art version ($29 to $99, above right). There are seemingly hundreds of examples in stores right now, so to see my favorites, click on the photos below.

I really do like this pattern, it's not TOO much, but it's funky enough to get compliments with!
1I like it- like the first pillow with the gold key and the W-S napkins are nice. I know people (Greek of course) who go overboard, but it can be done tastefully.
2I definitely like the screen!
3I like it!
4Even though its actually Greek, I thought it added a nice touch in an Asian inspired room I created a list for. And the screen and the rug are great. I walk past a Jonathan Adler store everyday on my way to work... he has some really great ideas.
5I love it sparingly.
6could look good but not in my place.
7I like the shades but I'd hang them on the wall instead of in front of the window.
8I LOVE GREEK KEY PATTERNS... there somethign so luxirious about them, for like super rich people or whatever.. i love
