The stripes are on the loose in one of the biggest trends in bedroom decor: twin zebra print bedding.

Thanks in part to the environmental movement; both boys and girls have become fascinated with jungle animal prints, especially zebras. Upscale twin zebra bedding sets can start around 0, but much more economical combinations can be found online and in discount stores.

What's more, this fashion trend comes in color options that make this bedding appropriate for boys' and girls' bedrooms. For girls there are zebra patterns on pink or purple backgrounds, while boys often prefer black stripes on green backing, or even brown-and-white striped versions. Match brown zebra bedding with a giraffe-print pillow in orange and some solid orange pillows for a different look that's suitable for boys or girls.

A complete set of twin zebra bedding may include a comforter, flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillow cases. Some throw in a bed skirt and pillows (boys especially seem to like a zebra-striped neckroll good for daydreaming). Often a twin zebra comforter will reverse to a solid color such as pink, brown or black to offer some variety. Coordinating drapes and valances finish off the bedroom scheme.

One of the great things about a bold pattern such as zebra designs is that it holds up well with bold coordinating colors. Accessories in warm, sunny colors or deep jungle greens can change the room's look in an instant without breaking the family bank account.

Plus, busy parents don't have to worry that twin bedding will saddle them with extra laundry. Most of these zebra-design bedding sets can be washed in cold water in a home machine or at the coin laundry. A faux-fur or microsuede comforter might need to be cleaned in a dryer with a dry-cleaning towel available at a local grocery store.

Beyond that, pleasing a youngster with a distinctive and stylish bedroom is easy with twin zebra printbedding. Don't be surprised if they gallop around you with unbridled joy.
