So you're expecting a baby? Congratulations! This is an exciting time in your life. While there's lots of planning to do and many things to think of (how lucky we are to have nine months to prepare!), one of the most fun aspects of preparing for a new baby is decorating the nursery.
Decorating your baby's room is fun, because it's a highly creative process, which gives you an opportunity to indulge your imagination and show off your decorating skills. It is also a wonderful way to feel close to your baby even before he or she arrives.
Since in most babies' rooms the crib takes center stage, bedding is important. The right choice of crib bedding will set up the tone for the entire room.
Assuming you know the baby's gender, you will need to decide if you would like to go with gender-specific crib bedding sets such as fire trucks for boys or flowers for girls. Do you want pink for a baby girl and blue for a baby boy? Or do you prefer a more neutral set?
Baby Girls Crib Bedding Sets: Hottest Trends
A gorgeous example of a gender-specific crib bedding set for baby girls is the 4-piece Pink Polka Dots Crib Bedding Set from Brandee Danielle. The design is unique because the color combination ensures that although the look is definitely girly, it's not cutesy or overly pink. Combining brown and green polka dots with the pink polka dots creates a classic, timeless look. The set is reasonably priced at $169.95 and shipping is free.
Another beautiful and very affordable option for baby girls is the Pink Toile 9-Piece Crib Set from JoJo Designs. Offered at $169.99, this gorgeous set is decidedly "girly" - pink and white, soft and beautiful. The look is simply dreamy. If you don't want to go for an all-pink look, the Toile also comes in sage, in pink and brown, in red and in a highly modern and sophisticated black-and-white design. All designs are shipped for free.
Baby Boys Crib Bedding Sets: Hottest Trends
One of my favorite sets for boys is the Blue Polka Dot Crib Bedding Set by Brandee Danielle. This set is very similar to the Pink Polka Dots set for girls, but the main color here is soft blue instead of pink. At the excellent price of $179.95, this 4-piece set offers a classic, timeless look that's appropriate for baby boys yet can be later used for a baby girl, if you have another child.
Another classic theme for boys is a sports theme. We offer several of those, including the All Star 9-Piece Crib Set and the Playball 9-Piece Crib Set both by JoJo Designs. At $179.99 for the All Star theme and $129.99 for the Playball theme, both designs are attractively priced and provide excellent value. When you add accessories such as the All Star Hamper or the PlayBall Lamp Shade, you create the perfect look for your little ball player.
If you're looking for a classic "boyish" look for your nursery, you will LOVE the 9-piece Wild West Crib Bedding Set by JoJo Designs. With classic "boy colors" - dark red, dark blue, brown and white, and fun patterns, this set is an effortless way to announce "I'm expecting a baby boy!"
My absolute favorite crib bedding set for baby boys is, hands down, the Argyle Check 9 Piece Crib Set by JoJo Designs. The price - $149.99 - is fabulous, the design is appropriate for boys but is fresh and modern - and customers who bought this product are extremely pleased.
Gender-Neutral Crib Bedding Sets
What if you don't know the baby's gender, or expect to have another baby later on? Sometimes your best choice is a gender-neutral theme.
If you're looking for a theme that would work for baby girls as well as for baby boys, you can't go wrong with an animal theme. On The Farm Crib Bedding Set by Brandee Danielle ($279.95) is a great example - it's perfect for both genders. It's extremely cute, the colors are appealing and soft, and the fun pattern of farm and farm animals will be hugely entertaining for your baby as he or she becomes a little older.
Another option if you're looking for an animal theme is the Ribbit Frog Crib Bedding Set by Brandee Danielle ($179.95). The gentle colors and fun pattern are ideal for both genders and will not overwhelm the room. What child doesn't like ribbity frogs, anyway?
My absolute favorite gender-neutral crib bedding set is the Jungle Safari 9 Piece Crib Set by JoJo Designs. For the very low price of $129.99 you get a 9 (nine!) piece crib bedding set that can be used for both genders and passed on to another baby. The animals on this theme are simply adorable. This is another pattern that will do very well when your child becomes a toddler.
