Modern Nursery Bedding Colours

When you're pregnant and planning your baby's room, you have to make a decision about furniture and baby bedding. Modern nursery bedding gives you lots of options. Are you going to go organic or traditional? And, if it's your first child, you probably need to decide the colour scheme for the room as well.

Whether you're looking for nursery bedding for boys or girls, there is so much choice, it can be extremely confusing.

Alongside Disney-themed rooms with the Princesses, Toy Story or Shrek, there are a range of geometric shapes or less obviously branded prints such as polka dots, paisley and stripes for contemporary style. But you can bring things up to date by incorporating classic designs in bold new colours.

The ocean, sun and palm trees of tropical beaches are a popular choice for those parents looking for a unisex or neutral theme, rather than going for a traditional pastel shade like yellow.

As well as the traditional blue for a boy and pink for a girl, today's modern nursery bedding also satisfies more contemporary design aspirations with combinations of orange and white, salmon pink or rich chocolate brown and cream. Textures can be used as well as colour to make a bold statement.

While, of course, the décor and co-ordination of the soft furnishings are hugely important, another often forgotten consideration is the composition of the nursery bedding - modern duvets or traditional blankets.

When I had my first child, the traditional cellular blankets were still the norm but it was not long before nursery bedding sets started to include the more popular cot duvets instead.

These days, some doubt has been cast over using the ubiquitous duvet for babies as it is harder to regulate the temperature than with layers of conventional blankets. Parents these days are also using a grobag, a special type of baby sleeping bag which stops your little one from being able to kick off the covers whilst moving and get cold.

Because some modern nursery bedding contains fire retardants which have possible links to future health problems, organic products are much more widely available these days. Luxurious organic cotton sheets and blankets made from carefully sourced raw materials which are grown without pesticides.
