Crib Bedding Moves Into The Fashion Forefront
The bedding for a nursery crib did not evolve for decades. Limited pastel colors were the norm, and not even the occupants of the crib found it interesting. Some improvement came when generic prints of blocks and teddy bears were added, but it was not exactly a major change. The bumper pads, blankets, and sheets stayed basic and lacking in any kind of fashion sense.
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.
Many fashion designers soon found themselves creating a bedding collection for the crib as well as accessories that completed the theme. Manufacturers began packaging crib sheets, dust ruffles, coverlets, and bumper pads together, offering them at a lesser price than if each piece had to be purchased separately. Each piece is a perfect match to the rest. This eliminated the need for parents to have to search for items that would match and settling for things that were reasonably close.
Today, bedding for cribs can be found in hundreds of colors and patterns. Nor is cotton the only fabric from which to choose. Many designers add a lot of interest by combining unusual fabrics or adding special trims. This is because there are numerous designers, famous for their fashion designs, who have begun to design for the nursery. The flair that made them well-known for clothing has been carried into their new endeavors. They have not forsaken time tested pastels, but they have added bright colors and bold designs that draw the attention of even newborns.
You can find bedding featuring a wide range of themes. Some generic designs include images of animals, the alphabet, teddy bears, and fish. Stripes, polka dots, checks, and triangles are available as well. You can also find crib sets with flowers, ladybugs, pirates, butterflies, and cowboys.
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.
Decorations for nurseries are not relegated to the crib. Rugs, mobiles, lamps, wall hangings, and even curtains for the windows can be found in the same theme as the bedding. An afterthought no longer, the nursery can receive a proper decorating touch.
