Today’s nurseries now contain patchwork and pieced block quilts, but they are made much more attractive with new color combinations, such as brown and green or pink and black. While exploring options for modern baby bedding consider visually striking abstract prints ranging anywhere from brightest stripes and geometric to rolling psychedelic paisleys.

Crib sets are an easy choice for budget conscious parents who are creating the perfect nursery because parents save time when they have pre-packaged complete sets. When baby, or mom and dad, have outgrown the look of the nursery one quick and inexpensive way to upgrade the decor is to switch out the crib sheets.

If your house is decorated in a modern style, than you may use a white or beige or brown color scheme, and that color will also be used for your baby bedding. Parents drawn to abstract or impressionist design often employ bold, and even contrasting, color combinations, such as black and white or orange and turquoise.

Choosing a traditional animal or botanical theme for the nursery maximizes color choices while minimizing visual clutter. If you live near the ocean, you can create a nursery with a sailing theme, while parents living in the middle of the country might decide on a theme that resembles the surrounding farmland. In short, choosing a gender neutral theme permits expectant parents to personalize their nursery.
