How to Plan Your Nursery Decor Around Your Baby Bedding


You have searched high and low for the perfect baby bedding for your soon-to-arrive bundle of joy. However, you have not put too much thought into how you plan to design and decorate the rest of the baby nursery. If it's all about baby bedding for you, you can easily plan your room around the bedding you have selected. Read on to learn a few tips for planning your nursery decor around your baby bedding set.

Accent Colors

Analyze your baby's bedding and pull out at least 2 colors you wish to utilize as nursery accent colors. For example, if your baby bedding is a rustic plaid print, you may pick up on a deep hunter green tone and some specks of grey in the sheet set. You can choose to keep walls neutral and paint them beige, khaki, or cream; and garnish the rest of the nursery in the green and grey tones by featuring them in curtains, blinds, shelves, a glider, accent pillows, a changing table pad cover, or plush throw rug.

Color Blocking

If you choose solid toned bedding, consider using color blocking to accent and decorate the rest of the baby nursery. Color blocking occurs when contrasting but complementary colors come together. Some unexpected color combinations that work together when color blocked are tangerine orange and navy blue, aqua blue and yellow, cherry red and fuchsia, navy blue and pink, mint green and melon, or even lilac and sherbet orange. These color combinations can be cohesively worked into the walls and bedding, or even added as pops of color on a toy or book shelf, carpet and curtain combination, or in a wallpaper print.

Tone

Once you select your dream baby bedding, look closely at its tone. If it has a warm tone (red, yellow, orange, gold); consider choosing a brown crib, changing table, and dresser. If it has a cool tone (blue, purple, green); consider choosing black furniture. If your bedding is more on the pastel side or a classic neutral tone like ivory, beige, stone grey, or even white; you may wish to choose ultra-light furniture painted white or ivory shades.

Theme Inspiration

Let your ideal baby bedding inspire you. Is there something on the bedding that screams "theme?" If so, go with your gut! White eyelet bedding is perfect for a vintage theme nursery, while seersucker bedding will work with a nautical theme.
