Crib Bedding Moves Into The Fashion Forefront

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

Manufacturers spend millions to research what consumers want. Eventually, they discovered that parents were not satisfied with their choices when it came to decorating a nursery. They wanted a distinctive nursery for their baby, not a room that looked the same as every other nursery. These were people who decorated their entire house fashionably, and they wanted designer baby bedding for their latest addition. What was available was simply not good enough, so the manufacturers had to respond.

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.

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.

Much more than just a crib can be decorated now. Mobiles, rugs, wall hangings, lamps, and window curtains are available that continue the theme of the bedding. No longer does the nursery have to be the dullest room. It can now receive the decorating attention it deserves.
