It is always fun to start decorating a nursery but sometimes deciding on a theme can seem like a daunting task. If you have not set up the baby’s nursery yet, the best place to start is by choosing bedding and then using the bedding as a starting point to decide how to decorate the room. if you have no idea of theme for your bedding, here are a some ideas.
When purchasing baby bedding with appeal to a boy, you will find boys prefer bold, strong colors. Bold colors have become chic rather than gaudy. One such set is made by Trend Lab. It has a chocolate and navy coloring and is called Prep School Blue crib bedding set. A blend of caramel, chocolate, blue and white is its characteristic.
A theme that is popular with both genders is animal themes; but the specific animal depends on the gender of the baby. Little boys usually favor animals that they consider to be strong and bold while little girls are more nurturing and prefer animals that are cuddly. A theme with farm animals or a Noah’s Ark theme is wonderful for a young boy, if you need a theme with long life, consider a jungle theme.
Another great choice for your son’s nursery is a cowboy motif. After all, what boy has not daydreamed of being a cowboy? Fabrics such as ultra suede, leather, denim and plaid lend a genuine appearance to the many available cowboy themes. If you want cowboy style bedding, the popular images are sheriff stars, horses, and wagons, featured in the crib sets. One of the more popular themes for a baby boy’s blanket is a cowboy theme which is usually done in fleece or flannel.
Almost all males are sports fans which means your baby boy is bound to be one too. Baby boy’s bedding is often team-specific, reflecting the favorite team and sport of Mom and Dad. Some bedding sets are available with sports based themes; like, football, baseball etc. For a theme that your son can grow into, a general sports theme is best because you can’t predict what specific sports your son will grow to love.
If you are hoping to have a large family, there are other choices to consider when buying baby bedding. Your choices are to either pick a theme that will grow with one child or go with a more neutral theme which can be used over and over for each subsequent baby. When a child reaches the toddler years and starts to have distinct ideas of their own, you will be able to choose a room theme then. If you are not sure whether the baby will be a boy or a girl or simply prefer it not to be gender specific, then go with a neutral pattern such as geometric shapes, alphabet and numbers or cartoon characters similar to Winnie the Pooh.
Give a nice thought prior to buying boy baby bedding. You should remember how bedding that looks great for a newborn boy may not appeal to the child as he reaches his toddler or preschool years. Many cribs now convert to toddler beds as they use the same standard size crib mattress. Keep this in mind when purchasing bedding as you will want it to last more than a few years.
