Crib Bedding Moves Into The Fashion Forefront
Crib bedding used to be very limited. It was mainly solid pastel colors and even infants considered it dull. Some printed designs were finally brought onto the market, but they were not much more exciting. So the sheets, blankets, and bumper pads for the crib stayed very basic and not very fashionable.
Finally, some marketing professionals realized that parents wanted to decorate nurseries as much as any other room in the house. They wanted baby to have a distinctive room that was not the same as every other nursery in the neighborhood. Parents wanted designer bedding for their own room and designer baby bedding for the nursery. They wanted more than was available, and manufacturers responded.
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.
Crib bedding now comes in a wide range of patterns and colors. Some designers also use unusual combinations of fabrics or trim to add interest to the bedding. Many designers who are most well known for clothing have entered the nursery market and brought their flair to bedding for baby. Brightly colored designs that attract the eye of even the youngest infant are plentiful, but softer pastels have not been abandoned.
Complete themes for the nursery combine bedding and accessories. Traditional favorites, such as alphabet characters, teddy bears, fish, and animals have been redesigned but not abandoned. New geometrical patterns, like triangles, stripes, checks, and polka dots have been introduced. Butterflies, pirates, flowers, dragonflies, cowboys, and ladybugs are offered by many different manufacturers.
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.
