Designers Have Made Cribs More Enticing
Crib bedding used to be very limited. It was mainly solid pastel colors and even infants considered it dull. Some printed designs were finally brought onto the market, but they were not much more exciting. So the sheets, blankets, and bumper pads for the crib stayed very basic and not very fashionable.
Finally, some marketing professionals realized that parents wanted to decorate nurseries as much as any other room in the house. They wanted baby to have a distinctive room that was not the same as every other nursery in the neighborhood. Parents wanted designer bedding for their own room and designer baby bedding for the nursery. They wanted more than was available, and manufacturers responded.
Most designers who create for baby not only produce a bedding collection, but a full line of accessories as well. The bedding set will usually package a crib sheet, bumper pad, coverlet, and dust ruffle together. It is usually more economical to purchase the set than to buy each item individually. The pieces also are perfectly coordinated. This puts an end to trying to find colors that will match and then having to settle for whatever is close.
Crib bedding now comes in a wide range of patterns and colors. Some designers also use unusual combinations of fabrics or trim to add interest to the bedding. Many designers who are most well known for clothing have entered the nursery market and brought their flair to bedding for baby. Brightly colored designs that attract the eye of even the youngest infant are plentiful, but softer pastels have not been abandoned.
Complete themes for the nursery combine bedding and accessories. Traditional favorites, such as alphabet characters, teddy bears, fish, and animals have been redesigned but not abandoned. New geometrical patterns, like triangles, stripes, checks, and polka dots have been introduced. Butterflies, pirates, flowers, dragonflies, cowboys, and ladybugs are offered by many different manufacturers.
Nature scenes, such as seascapes, jungles, and the night sky, have carved a place for themselves in recent years. Themes tied to movies, mainly animated films, have taken their place in cribs. Disney baby bedding is also popular, and baby can drift off to sleep surrounded by images of the most well known Disney characters.
Much more than just a crib can be decorated now. Mobiles, rugs, wall hangings, lamps, and window curtains are available that continue the theme of the bedding. No longer does the nursery have to be the dullest room. It can now receive the decorating attention it deserves.
