People always talk about how relaxed and refreshed they feel when they return from a vacation spent mostly gazing at sea and sky. It is no wonder, since studies have shown that blue tones are the most soothing ones; and since that's particularly true in a bedroom, it's also understandable that more and more expectant moms and dads are once again settling on traditional blue baby bedding.
In the hustle-and-bustle world we live in nowadays, many of us crave a place to get away from it all and decompress for a while. Some parents-to-be have found it very comforting to channel the less-frazzled past, when blue nurseries were the norm for little boys. They have sworn off avant garde art works and trendy designs for this special space in favor of cozy furnishings and a cool color that banishes stress, especially in its softer pastel shades.
Crib Sets For Girls
Baby boy bedding in blue shades comes in a wide enough variety of styles and patterns to suit every taste. You can choose solid-color fabrics or you can mix solids with overall prints or with pieces that are appliqued in contrasting colors. There are also blue gingham patchwork designs which bring a homey, country look to even the most urban of settings. And if you choose to go "green" as you decorate with blue, you can even find an assortment of organic blue infant linens in all-natural textiles.
Once you've bought a crib with a mattress fitting snugly against all four sides, measure the mattress so you can be certain to purchase sheets of proper dimensions. You want to ensure that the sheet can't get dislodged from its mattress and pose a hazard to your little one. Do wash your new sheets before using too, so they'll be more comfortable against baby's tender skin and no chemical residues will remain from the manufacturing process.
Of course, decorating plans are all too often accompanied by concerns about the various expenses that are involved. To achieve an attractive decor without spending too much, pick up a complete coordinated collection of nursery items -- typically the least expensive means of purchasing crib bedding. Bedding ensembles often include matching window treatments or storage pieces along with the basic crib bumper and decorative coverlet.
When using blues for his nursery, another wonderful touch is to create a sky on the ceiling for your son to look up at. You can paint this yourself or find someone else to do it; in fact, stores carry sky blue wallpaper with lots of fluffy clouds to help you bring the heavens indoors. It is hard to tell whether you or your little boy will benefit more from this serene and dreamy new room.
