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.
At length, however, manufacturers realized that parents were interested in better products. A flurry of new patterns were developed, and a variety of fabrics were added. Major fashion designers began to take an interest and to create crib products for young clients. Finally, the nursery could receive the decorating attention it deserved.
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.
There is a plethora of themes on the market. Some are clearly designed for little girls, others for little boys, but many are not gender specific. Fish, sports images, pirates, jungle, cowboys, and animal themes are popular choices for boys. Girls might like the angels, flowers, ballerinas, and butterflies offered. Stars, ocean, alphabet, and number motifs are good choices for either gender. There are vintage quilt patterns and abstract geometric designs, and dragonfly and ladybug baby bedding is popular as well.
For those who would like to make it interesting for baby to touch his or her quilt, there are some that combine fabrics such as satin, felt, and corduroy. It is also possible to buy complete sets made of recycled or organic materials.
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.
