When I was little, we had just the basics as far as children’s bedding was concerned. No one could have imagined how things would change in kids rooms.
The fact that such huge numbers of bedding themes are now available today is pretty amazing, and really can be a bit overwhelming overwhelming when you think about it. It doesn’t really have to be however, if you can narrow your selections a little bit to begin with.
First off, is your child a girl or boy..?
Little girls tend to like softer colors in pastels like pink, green, yellows and purple for example. They’ll generally be very happy with themes centering on pups and other creatures, flowers, butterflies, dancers, teddy bears and things like this. If your child is a little bit too small to let you know her tastes about what she’d like, then sort of go by what her personality is like and I’m positive you make the right choice for girls bedding she’ll adore.
If she is a little older and can tell you her opinions, why not let her help you pick it out…? After all you want her to love her bedroom, right…?
If you’re buying kids boy bedding, you’ll find just hundreds of themes for them as well – everything from sports to cars and trucks and plenty more, you’ll find the cutest kids bedding right here online.
I’d tend to to stick with brand named bedding. How come..? They will have established a reputation for superior quality which involves details like stitching seams properly, using quality bed linen fabrics that are long-lasting and keep their colors through many washes, but that are above all, safe. Brand-name companies need to keep their hard won reputation so they will pay more attention to these details than no name off brands.
Some brand names you might recognize are:
Laura Ashley
Dan River
DwellKids
When you’ve decided on the kind of motif you would like, then later you can add some fun optional accessories to your child’s bedroom to complete the theme. Most of the time, you’ll be able to select from matching or coordinating items like this-
area rugs
lamps/shades
light switch covers
decorative wall borders
stuffed toys
storage units
window treatments.. drapes and valance
shelving
chairs
You shouldn’t feel the need to limit yourself to selecting the bedding items that the maker recommends though – feel free to use your favorite dresser or rocking chair or what ever other piece of furniture or accessory might go well in the child’s room. The idea is to have fun and create a room that your kids will love to play in and dream in.
