While you’ll doubtless be excited about the arrival of the addition to your family and the preparation of the nursery, the decision of which theme to use can be a difficult one. 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. Here are a few ideas to help you pick a theme for your bedding.
When you plan to buy baby bedding, this is an excellent spot to begin as boys are inclined toward bold and strong color schemes. You can never choose colors that are too bold. One such set is made by Trend Lab. It has a chocolate and navy coloring and is called Prep School Blue crib bedding set. The colors are a mixtures of caramel, chocolate, blue and white.
Animal themes are famous among both boys as well as girls, but the actual choice of animals varies according to the gender. Animal theme preferences differ between the genders as girls like cute, cuddly things while the boys prefer larger wild animals. For an infant boy a Noah’s Ark theme is nice. If you want a theme that will grow with your son choose a jungle theme instead.
Every little boy loves to play cowboy, so this would be a good theme. If your choice is a cowboy-themed room, there are many choices in traditional “Western” fabrics like denim, plaid, ultra-suede, or leather. Frequently, there are overall patterns of sheriff’s badges, stallions, and covered wagons on such crib sets. In cowboy themes fleece and flannel are favorite fabrics for baby blankets.
When older men can enjoy sports, why not little boys? When choosing team-specific bedding, the parents usually choose the team that is their favorite. Some can be more specific, with bedding sets that feature solely baseball, football, and soccer images. Perhaps the best theme choice for your son is sports, in general. You never know which he will prefer as he grows older, and the room can grow with his interests.
You have an alternative for buying baby bedding, if you are preparing to have many children. Choose a set that is not gender and age specific; such that, along with your son, other babies can use it too. By doing this, every child will have the ability to pick their own room theme when they are 3 or 4 and start to express their own likes and dislikes. Geometric designs, alphabet and numbers, or even famous animated figures like Winnie the Pooh would look great on unisex bedding materials.
You should give it some careful consideration if you’re planning to buy boy baby bedding. It may be tempting to buy frilly bedding for an infant but when he gets older, you will have to replace it, so buying something more masculine would be more economical in the long run. Most toddler beds use standard sized crib mattresses, so a great solution for parents that are thinking ahead are 3-in-1 cribs that convert to toddler beds.
