Girl Baby Unique Bedding Ideas

If your goal is to create a nursery décor that shouts, "It's a Girl!" then start by getting a frilly girl crib bedding set with cotton candy colors and feminine design. The crib will be the place where your precious princess spends most of her time so go ahead and make it the focal point of the room.
Use Crib Bedding Accessories for Unique Nursery Design



Once you've found a baby bedding set that adds feminine beauty to the nursery, you can begin to decorate the rest of your baby's room using colors from the crib bedding and accessories from the crib bedding set. Consider getting a baby bedding set that comes with the works, such as: crib quilt, bumper, fitted crib sheet, window valances, crib skirt, diaper stacker, decorative pillow and wall hangings.

Even though the crib bedding set is made for the crib, that doesn't mean you have to use every item in your baby's bed. For safety purposes, it's important not to use heavy bedding or pillows in the bed when your baby is little. Don't just store unused baby bedding items in the closet, use them as accessories to add splashes of color around the nursery. You can hang a baby blanket on the wall as a decorative art piece and strategically place the pillow, from the bedding set, on a chair to disperse the crib bedding colors and design around the room.

Add Accessories from Crib Bedding Set to Windows and Walls


Hang window valances up to adorn the window tops with the same beautiful design to match your daughter's pretty crib bedding. Instead of hanging the matching diaper stacker on the crib rail, why not hang it on a hook on the wall, close to your baby's changing table for convenient diaper storage that adds a beautiful design to another area in the nursery. If your crib baby bedding set includes wall hangings, use those around the room to bring the delicate colors from the baby bedding set onto the wall.



Baby Bedding Isn't Just for the Crib

There are many types of baby bedding sets that offer everything from the simplest items needed in the crib to 12 or more accessories that can be used as decorative pieces creating a nursery décor that's just right for any precious baby girl. If you search for girl crib bedding sets that include a grand variety of items then your nursery design efforts will be easier and the room will come together beautifully with soft colors and a delicate design that your daughter will love.

How to Choose the Best Crib Bedding Set

When on the search for a crib bedding set, you might get overwhelmed by the selection of colors, styles and themes. There are simple tips that can help you narrow down your choices. First, choose your nursery color, then only look at matching crib bedding. Next, decide if you want themed bedding or simple bedding that will grow with your child. Once you've made those decisions, it's on to doing research about baby bedding types. There are specific things you should take into consideration.



Crib Bedding Safety

When looking at crib bedding sets you might want to decide what items you want in a set. Many organizations recommend that you stay away from putting heavy blankets, comforters, pillows or crib bumpers in the crib. Some cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) have been attributed to using heavy bedding in cribs. If you buy a set that includes some of those items you might want to figure out how else you can use them, such as: using the comforter as a play mat when you're playing with your baby on the floor. You could also hang the comforter or blanket on the wall as a decorative piece that will go beautifully with the rest of the items in the crib bedding set. You could place the pillow on the rocking chair as an added accessory.

Machine Washable Fabric

Your baby will make lots of unexpected messes in the crib and you'll find that you'll be washing the crib bedding more than your regular sheets. It's important to choose machine washable bedding that is also drier safe. This will be a much more convenient option then fancy dry clean bedding. Bedding that is sewn with cotton or cotton blend threading is the best option because it washes well and stays intact after several washings. Nylon thread might melt in the dryer and cause the bedding to bunch or fall apart. We also recommend you stick with woven patterns because stamped designs that are on-top-of the bedding can fade in the wash.

Crib Bedding Sets vs. Separates

You might be wondering if you should buy a crib bedding set or separates. Well, there are benefits to both. Crib bedding sets will have all the items you need to create a beautiful crib look, and if you use the added items such as: blanket, comforter or pillow as accessories around the nursery you'll create a lovely, matching space. We'd also recommend purchasing additional flat and fitted crib sheets so you have extra bedding on hand for those unexpected baby messes where a quick sheet change is needed.

Crib Bedding Sets that will Last

If you are planning to use your crib sheets on your child's toddler bed then we have some suggestions. You'll want to choose a crib bedding design that is suited for a baby and toddler. You might want to select a color that is neutral or choose bedding with a simple design instead of a theme bedding that is geared towards just babies. Make sure the bedding set you select is also made of quality fabric so it will last through your child's toddler years.
You might also want to choose a crib bedding set that comes with a wide variety of bedding items so that your options are greater when your child is older. Remember, toddlers can use comforters, blankets and throw pillows on their beds so even if you have to use those heavy bedding items as accessories when your baby is little, you'll get some good bedding use out of them as your child grows.

Weird Bed Sheets and Blankets

1. Satin Sheets




Imagine integrating a radio alarm clock within the Sheet! That’s the Melted Clock for you: a haptic, touch sensitive alarm with speakers and controls all embedded within your sheet. The three control icons are embroidered on the sheet and relevant to the operating elements on the outside edge of the bed sheet. Use the two in combo to set your radio frequency, alarm time etc. Essentially, you just feel your way through this system; IN YOUR FACE! The clock segments are thin and hidden underneath the fabric. They consist of silicone and give the emboss feel via a slat of EPS (electroactive polymer, used for artificial muscles). When activated by electricity, the slat expands and lifts up the silicon segment; giving us the embossed numbers of the clock. Apparently you can even wash the sheet; the silicon segment and the EPS slat are fixed in a small case. The small cases are arranged on a platen. When you want to wash the sheet, you just remove the platen with the clock components.

2. Rulered Couple Bed Sheet



Couple can be a game or a monitoring system. The ruler is printed so as to be readable from inside the bed. The numbering rises outwards and from warm to cold colours. Each person knows how much he or she can pull and how far apart the couple rests.
