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.
It has now become standard to offer all items needed to outfit a crib in one package that offers a complete bedding collection. The precise elements can vary, but the typical set will have a dust ruffle, bumper pad, crib sheet, and blanket or quilt. While each item can be bought separately, the cost would be higher than buying the set. Naturally, all the elements in the set feature the same theme.
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.
Some themes are considered traditionally gender specific, but many are not. For boys, there are sports motifs, pirates, fish, cowboys, jungle themes, and animals, both wild and domestic. For girls, there are butterflies, ballerinas, angels, and flowers. The sky, ocean, alphabet, and numerals are also popular, and there are also quilt patterns for those who prefer nostalgia and abstract designs for those who favor modern art. Dragonfly and ladybug baby bedding is a popular choice for those who like their insects cute.
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.
