BLACK AND WHITE NURSERY IDEAS
BLACK TOILE BABY BEDDING

Black and white crib bedding in abstract patterns are hot, but classic black toile is not down for the count just yet. Here's any number of reasons that this trend in nursery décor has been sticking around for season after season; spring and summer as well as winter and fall.
If I had to give a reason I would have to say it's due to how many cool (as well as hot) colors that you can use to decorate baby's nursery in stylish modern as well as vintage themes. For spring you will see black and white crib bedding paired with sunflower yellow, lime greens and hot pinks. In fall you may see the same sets making the scene paired with rusts, oranges and even chocolate brown.

When the cool breezes blow and ice forms lacy patterns on the nursery windowpanes, bold Chinese reds as well as bright holly berry red is used to bring a feeling of warmth and coziness to the bedroom.

Some decorators prefer to design the room around the black and white crib bedding with a gradual lightening of complimentary colors using beige and tan to make the ultimate transition to the accent colors of dark chocolate brown. It’s my opinion that this nursery color scheme looks much better with contemporary crib sets in black toile fabric with white accents rather than toile in traditional children’s designs. A beautiful black baby bed would be a lovely background for black and white as well as black and cream crib sets.

Black and white toile baby bedding looks wonderful in nurseries with antique nursery furnishings or replicas of antiques. Black toile fabrics with animal prints are one of my favorites for vintage circus nursery themes. One nursery decorating idea that I can offer is that it’s best to counter the monochromatic black and white fabrics with colors from the opposite side of the color wheel when designing one of these traditional nursery themes.

Of course it's possible to decorate your baby's room, keep the high contrast and still have some cute baby motifs. You can decorate with:

  • Panda bears
  • Polar bears
  • Penguins in their elegant tuxedos
  • Soft fluffy sheep or baby lambs
and never venture away from white and black.

Some of the best baby nursery themes for black toile would be:

  • French Country for Black and white toile with a rooster print
  • Circus Nursery Themes with Deep Crimson, Aged Yellow and Ivy Green Accent colors such as can be found in vintage circus posters
  • Old English Nursery Themes with pretty pink cabbage rose decorations

Then again, no theme at all is necessary if your black toile fabric is of the variety that has pictures of children playing and going about their everyday activities printed on a solid color background. Bold nursery wall paint and accent colors alone can often take the place of a need for any particular theme. When decorating with toile fabrics, take care not to introduce lots of other busy prints and pictures that might conflict with the black toile pattern of your baby bedding.
