subject: Styling Your Baby's Room With Sports Crib Bedding [print this page] It can be overwhelming trying to choose just the right theme and decor for your new baby's nursery. There are so many possibilities out there for both girls and boys, not to mention the bedding sets and themes that are gender neutral. It is a little easier when you know if you are having a boy or girl, but there are still many options to choose from. For boys, sports crib bedding is one of the most popular choices, and there are several ways of personalizing and making the room unique.
Choosing the color for the walls is the first step. Some people like to use primary colors that are bright and colorful, while others prefer a more gentle and soothing feel, and choose lighter, warmer, more muted colors. No matter what color you choose, there is bound to be a sports crib bedding set that will match the selection.
Some sets incorporate several sports within the same design. Some sports that are available in the same set are football, basketball, hockey, soccer, and baseball. Other bedding sets are designed based on one individual sport. Whatever your preference, there are many ways to make the nursery personal and unique.
The options for decorating with a set that reflect many different sports are endless. Custom hooks, lamps, curtains and tie backs, stencils, and pictures are all things that can be used to show off the different sports in the set. Many boutiques and baby stores stock several sets that are designed with all different sports, and they are made in many colors. There is sure to be a set that coordinates with your color choices.
You might choose to decorate with one particular sport that is special to you. Maybe it is important because you or your spouse used to play it in high school or college. There are several ways to make the nursery unique when concentrating on one sport as well.
A fantastic way to personalize a sport-specific room is to hang an old jersey on the wall and use pictures and memorabilia from your very own glory days. You may be able to find new pieces as well, such as pennants or team hats that would look great hung on the walls.
If you don't have a high school or college team affiliation that you want to style your baby's room with, you can always choose your favorite professional athletic team. There are textiles available in most fabric shops that are officially licensed and already have team logos and colors on them. Cottons, fleeces, or flannel, are excellent fabric choices for use in a baby's room. Custom bedding can be designed and sewn by a qualified seamstress to create the precise look you are going for.
Basketball fans might have fun hanging a group of nets over a window to make a unique valance. A hoop can even be securely hung on the wall above the crib. A green rug with yard lines is the perfect choice for a football lover. Hockey sticks and baseball bats can also hang on the wall. Any sport themed room can be made extra special by hiring an artist to paint a boarder or mural to perfectly coordinate with the sports crib bedding that you chose. Regardless of the decor choices you make, once your little one arrives, the room will finally be complete.
