While it may initially seem that by beginning with baby’s bedding, the issue of picking a color scheme for the nursery changes focus rather than being resolved, this focusing actually considerably simplifies the problem. Avoid overwhelming home improvement stores and simply visit your favorite infant boutique to see sample patterns perfectly suited to your child’s bedroom.
If a baby girl is on the way, you can limit your search even more by looking only at items in pink or with motifs with a feminine flair. If your new child is a boy, then ignore the patterns designed for girls and look for shades of blue. Parents tend to buy baby apparels long before they know the baby’s sex, to be on the safe side they usually buy neutral colors such as yellow or green. So when you think ‘perfect for all children’ think Dr Seuss baby bedding.

Less is more when it comes to bedding, with simple items in traditional fabrics offering both comfort and value. It is not unusual for parents to discover that a few quality crib sheets are all that is necessary, and that extra bedding is superfluous. Cool and breathable in summer but also warm in winter, cotton is an ideal year-round material.
A layer of fleece between the mattress and the crib sheet can provide extra warmth in cold climates. Be careful to choose gender-neutral colors and patterns if you don’t know your baby’s sex yet; otherwise, your little boy may have to bed down among pink and purple hearts, or your baby girl may have to dream sweetly in a nautical-themed crib set.

Picking out your baby’s decor is fun and interesting. There are so many possibilities to consider, that parents-to-be may end up feeling paralyzed because it is so hard to make decisions about what to do. When you know what the gender of your baby will be, it is simpler to select colors and items for the nursery, such as furniture and baby bedding.
Not sure whether the baby will be a boy or a girl? Select neutral colors such as yellows and greens. Don’t forget to check nearby baby stores for sales because they may have the perfect crib set for your nursery.

Crib bedding is often one of the first decisions that couples make about the nursery, matching all other items to the baby bedding that they have selected. Some parents opt for baby bedding that can transition from crib to toddler bed, while others choose bedding specifically for the crib. Either way, let your creativity shine. You will place your own stamp on the nursery, whether you use pink petals for a girl’s nursery, sports equipment for a boy, or neutral colors that work for either gender.
