Decorating baby’s room is fun, because it’s a highly creative process, which gives you an opportunity to indulge your imagination and show off your decorating skills. It is also a wonderful way to feel close to your baby even before he or she arrives.

Since in most babies’ rooms the crib takes center stage, bedding is important. The right choice of crib bedding will set up the tone for the entire room.

Baby Girls Crib Bedding Sets: Hottest Trends

Jojo Design, Pink Toile Crib

A gorgeous example of a gender-specific crib bedding set for baby girls is the 4-piece Pink Polka Dots Crib Bedding Set from Brandee Danielle. The design is unique because the color combination ensures that although the look is definitely girly, it’s not cutesy or overly pink. Combining brown and green polka dots with the pink polka dots creates a classic, timeless look. The set is reasonably priced at $159.99.

Another beautiful and very affordable option for baby girls is the Pink Toile 9-Piece Crib Set from JoJo Designs ( $169.99). This gorgeous set is decidedly “girly” – pink and white, soft and beautiful. If you don’t want to go for an all-pink look, the Toile also comes in sage, in pink and brown, in red and in a highly modern and sophisticated black-and-white design.

Baby Boys Crib Bedding Sets: Hottest Trends

The classic theme for boys is a sports theme, including the All Star 9-Piece Crib Set ($179.99 ) and the Playball 9-Piece Crib Set ($129.99) both by JoJo Designs. When you add accessories such as the All Star Hamper or the PlayBall Lamp Shade, you create the perfect look for your little ball player.

If you’re looking for a classic “boyish” look for your nursery, you will LOVE the 9-piece Wild West Crib Bedding Set by JoJo Designs. With classic “boy colors” – dark red, dark blue, brown and white, and fun patterns, this set is an effortless way to announce “I’m expecting a baby boy!”

Gender-Neutral Crib Bedding Sets

Brandee Danielle, On The Farm

What if you don’t know the baby’s gender, or expect to have another baby later on? Sometimes your best choice is a gender-neutral theme.

If you’re looking for a theme that would work for baby girls as well as for baby boys, you can’t go wrong with an animal theme. On The Farm Crib Bedding Set by Brandee Danielle ($279.95 – 4 piece) is a great example – it’s perfect for both genders. It’s extremely cute, the colors are appealing and soft, and the fun pattern of farm and farm animals will be hugely entertaining for your baby as he or she becomes a little older.

My absolute favorite gender-neutral crib bedding set is the Jungle Safari 9 Piece Crib Set by JoJo Designs. For the very low price of $129.99 you get a 9 (nine!) piece crib bedding set that can be used for both genders and passed on to another baby. The animals on this theme are simply adorable.
