Numerous Themes For The Nursery Can Easily Be Found
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.
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.
There are also accessories available to co-ordinate with the crib sets. Lamps, mobiles, rugs, diaper holders, and toy bags are just a few of the extra items to be found. Some sets also have window curtains and wall hangings that match. With so many styles of crib sets available, the only problem lies in deciding on which of the adorable themes to choose.
