Exciting Themes For The Nursery Make Decorating For Baby Fun
Once upon a time, bedding for a baby’s crib was relegated to a few solid colors. Pastel blue, pink, yellow, and green supplemented basic white, but there was not much else available, and it was all made of cotton. Gradually, prints were added in a few designs, such as teddy bears or frolicking lambs. Later, fuzzy appliques were added on baby quilts, but interesting bedding was still not to be found.
Finally, though, manufacturers started to realize that parents wanted more. New designs were created, and new fabrics were brought into the process. Crib bedding became more versatile, and major designers began creating sheets and blankets for their smallest clients. The nursery could now be properly decorated for the latest arrival in the family.
Individual pieces can be purchased, but many retailers are now offering everything for the crib in one complete bedding collection set. The set contains items that have the same theme. The exact elements vary, but the standard set will usually feature a crib sheet, a blanket or quilt, a bumper pad, and a dust ruffle. The set is usually more economical than buying each item separately.
Designer baby bedding can be found at many retailers online and locally. Many designers, such as Laura Ashley and Eddie Bauer, are familiar names to most. Their nursery designs vary widely, and it is possible to find geometrical designs, farm animals, flowers, and teddy bears by popular designers. Some use uncommon fabrics and textures, and they may incorporate embroidery or appliques as well.
Many different themes are available. Some are gender specific, while others are not. Pirates, cowboys, fish, sports, jungle, and animal motifs are all available. Ballerinas, flowers, butterflies, and angels can also be found. There are images of the sky or the ocean as well as alphabet characters and numbers. Some are inspired by vintage patterns, such as traditional quilts, while others are more contemporary, with modern geometric shapes. Dragonfly and ladybug baby bedding is also very popular.
Some bedding sets feature coverlets that combine a number of different textures, such as corduroy, felt, and satin to make them more interesting to baby’s touch. Organic fabrics and those made from recycled materials are also available.
Accessories to match the crib sets can also be found. Lamps, rugs, mobiles, toy bags, and diaper holders are just some of the many items that are offered. A few even have curtains for the windows and art to hang on the wall to co-ordinate with the bedding. The only problem anyone should encounter is deciding which of the many themes to purchase.
