Now The Nursery Can Have The Designer Touches It Deserves

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Nursery bedding was once quite limited. Even the infants who slept on the plain, pastel sheets found it boring. A little interest was added when the first printed images of animals and alphabet blocks came on the market. But basically, the blankets, sheets, and bumper pads made for a crib remained dull and unfashionable

Market research finally made manufacturers understand that new parents desired nurseries that could be decorated as fully as the rest of the house. They wanted their infant to have a room that stood out from the other nurseries on their street. These parents bought designer sheets for their own beds, and they wanted designer baby bedding for their new addition. What was on the market simply did not meet their needs, and so manufacturers reacted.

Major designers were soon creating a unique bedding collection for baby, offering accessories to match. The normal bedding set packages a dust ruffle, crib sheet, coverlet, and bumper pad in a unit that is less expensive than buying each piece separately. Each element coordinates perfectly with the others. No longer must parents have to settle for items that are a near match in color or pattern.

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.

Most bedding features a particular theme that is echoed in the accessories as well. Basic designs, such as teddy bears, alphabet blocks, fish, and animals have not been forsaken. They have, however, been reinterpreted. Polka dots, stripes, triangles, and checks are also available. More traditional designs that feature butterflies, flowers, cowboys, pirates, and ladybugs are perennial best sellers.

Scenic images of nature, like ocean views, jungles, and images of the stars have begun to achieve popularity lately. Characters from animated shows have also moved into cribs nationwide. Disney baby bedding is a perennial favorite, allowing baby to fall asleep snuggled up with popular Disney creations.

And you do not have to limit nursery decorations to the crib. Lamps, curtains, mobiles, wall hangings, and rugs are available to match the bedding. The nursery no longer has to be the blandest room in the house. Now it can take its place as a fully decorated room.
