Red & Black Linen Takes Out Gold Fairies In More And More Nurseries

The news of black’s gaining popularity as a color choice for baby linens has some confused parents questioning whether such things are being used by members of the “Goth” community (a collection of black-loving individuals with multiple piercings) or by fans of the current vampire novels on the market. Actually, that could be right in some unusual situations, but as a matter of course, that’s not correct at all!

Some parents want more than just to achieve elegance in their child’s space. Expectant fashionistas will love all the new color combinations and nursery styles featuring the trendy color black. Naturally, those of you who have filled your home with chrome-framed black leather chairs and sofas will, upon learning that you are expecting the birth of a son, want to decorate his room with baby bedding that will serve as an extension of such a motif for your crib bedding.

One can’t deny the popularity of black when one seeks elegance and restraint, and this is true of fashion for the home as well as clothing. Black crib bedding may be almost endlessly combined with an array of solid colors or lovely patterns to make a striking nursery for the new baby. Checks and dots goes well with paisleys and stripes, while splashy geometric designs are not as interesting as bold jagged abstract designs.

Many people are turning away from traditional nursery theme bedding like ducks and bunnies and choosing black bedding for their baby.

These parents are the same as others, though, in wanting the nursery they’re creating to be functional as well as beautiful. Prior to deciding which sleep furnishings to purchase they need to know about safety issues for infants, comfort ability and how easy or hard it is to clean.

Manufacturers are selling nursery bedding ensembles in sets that are great by themselves or as a base to add to. Affordable black baby bedding sets can be found at any number of internet stores which specialize in boys crib bedding. Modern black collections include many attractive accessories which complement the dark shade.
