Shopping for crib bedding to decorate a new baby nursery is a delightfully imaginative process. The centerpiece of the nursery is the crib. The style and design of the bedding will begin the nursery theme. Design choices of every description will let you use your skills to adorn the ideal nursery space.
When the new mother and father decide upon a lovingly chosen theme, other family members and friends can add matching pieces to the nursery. Sheet sets need to be laundered frequently, so additional sheet and pillowcase sets are practical gifts. A matching table lamp, bumper sets, comforters and dust ruffles keep the theme going. Solid color sheets that match the crib set theme give a little variety. Also friends may find it easier to locate solids.

When choosing crib bedding, the fabric content should be considered. Infants spend about 60% of their new lives sleeping. Start baby off right by choosing cotton or organic cotton for the crib bedding fabric. Crib sets can be found made of polyester and acrylic. But the top choice should probably be cotton or organic cotton. Cotton breathes so it is cooler plus being durable and long lasting. It will stand up to frequent machine washing.
What is truly wonderful right now is the variety of designs and colors on the market. And of course, vintage crib bedding favorites from several eras beckon. Every decade from the 1950's on had a motif. If you know the infant's gender you may want a girl or boy theme. Lots of new parents now are choosing gender neutral themes. Finding something adorable will be so easy that it may be a challenge to select one.
If you want a boy or girl theme think beyond pink and blue. Deeper colors, bright and neon colors as well as primary colors stimulate awareness. Beyond color other themes can be numbers, alphabets, cartoon characters, florals, airplanes, or nursery rhymes. Some parents are even putting some great art in the nursery.
Typically, little ones sleep in a crib for about twenty-four months. Crib bedding that you purchase now is a good investment as it will be usable for about two years. Since it does do service for that long, durability counts. Be careful to choose bedding designs and colors that you will still love for that period. Dream of your new arrival as you create a charming nursery.
