BLUE and BROWN
|
Blue and brown bedding is a winning color combination any time of the year. Good colors are a necessity for a baby's nursery design, but it's also important to choose crib bedding sets that are constructed of the right weight for any time or season.
For the hot steamy nights in summer the fabric of choice in baby bedding would be a lightweight cotton. Even with the air conditioner busily working to cool and de-humidify the air in the baby's room anything heavier is just not comfortable. However, with the cool nights of autumn just around the bend, it's time to make adjustments and possibly re-design baby's bedding.

Your blue and brown bedding doesn't have to include a patchwork quilt or crib comforter. There are chocolate brown and blue toile fabrics that will do the job, but there's something about the cozy handmade look of a patchwork baby quilt that warms the heart when the cold winds blow.
Powdery pink has been paired with deep brown in a popular look for girls' rooms. It's just seems right that blue and brown bedding will be just as popular baby boys’ bedrooms and cribs. The unexpected and pleasant surprise would be that washable micro suedes are being used as baby bedding fabric. I don't know why it hasn't been used before. Possibly, the fabric was not considered sturdy and durable enough to withstand the many trips through the laundry that baby comforters and duvet covers have to hold up to or that it was too stiff or heavy in the early days.
Blue and brown bedding or baby comforters and matching accessories made patchwork don't have to look country, rustic or hunting cabin style, they can actually have an edgy modern urban look. And of course, a handmade, tied patchwork baby quilt would be super in a baby boy's nursery theme.
Here are some nursery decorating ideas for your blue and brown crib bedding set:
- Baby Crib Quilt
Choose a baby crib quilt or comforter with a field of deep chocolate brown with a pieced patchwork border. This will lay out a pattern of stripes in chocolate brown, camel or caramel and powdery blue. -
The Bumper
The crib bumper can continue the striped or pieced pattern used on the crib quilt with an added decorative piping in blue along the upper edge of your blue and brown bedding set. -
Baby Crib Sheets
The matching crib sheets can also be constructed of micro suede! What a soft, comfortable baby sheet that could be. - Window Valances
Carry the colors of your brown and blue bedding set to the nursery windows. The top of the nursery window valance is made of the darker brown fabric, the border can be made out of the alternating camel, brown and blue striped fabrics. - Crib skirt
The dust ruffle or crib skirt repeats the pattern found in the other decorations with the addition of piping in the seams. - Diaper Stacker
The decorative diaper stacker is from the light blue fabric using deep, rich brown and camel accents. - Toy Bag
What a cute addition to a baby bedding collection. Storage is something every nursery needs and this handy fabric bin can hold toys, baby products or stuffed animals. It’s easy to mount with the ties that are sewn in. This accessory is in camel with pockets made of fabrics to match the blue and brown bedding set. The fluffy, decorative cushions will be very comfortable in the nursery rocking chair.
One thing's for sure, micro-suedes make a lovely presentation and it will keep baby warm as toast on chilly fall nights and of course brown and blue bedding is not your only option.
