What is the best baby crib bedding for a baby girl that isn’t too frilly? A set of butterfly baby bedding might be an option for a style of nursery décor that isn’t about lace, satin bows or other classic nursery motifs commonly used to decorate a baby girl’s room. Natural nursery themes to do with the jungles and rain forests are catching fire and decorating with bugs and butterflies is just another take on the trend.
Butterfly nursery bedding may be the perfect way to kick off any color scheme no matter how unusual. The chances are great that you can find at least one rare butterfly that has at least a tiny touch of any color that you want somewhere on its gossamer wings. If not, nobody will criticize you for creating a nursery design based on butterflies that are not identical to those found in nature.
BUTTERFLY BABY BEDDING COLORS
There are more pink and purple butterfly baby bedding sets than you can shake a stick at. The same is true when it comes to orange, hot pink or even lime green. Whether you prefer pastel, watercolor shades or funky, mod butterflies straight out of the psychedelic days of the 60s you will more than likely find the selection to be both vast and eclectic with an array of colors that can calm or stimulate depending on your preference.
Does this mean that an entomology major would not be able to design a butterfly nursery theme for a baby boy without running the risk of the room seeming far too feminine? Actually, the opposite may be more the case. The fact is that a mom who might want to decorate her son’s nursery in butterflies and bugs may have to buy butterfly print fabrics and commission a set of custom butterfly nursery bedding or find a quilter to make an appliqué quilt to get the job done. That being said; the results will probably be more true to the natural colors of these elegant insects than any ready made butterfly baby bedding sets.
Many rare species are found in exotic colors, but the more common varieties have a more subdued color scheme. The monarch butterfly with its chocolate brown, pumpkin orange, black and tan or beige wings open unique opportunities for natural nursery décor for boys. Electric blue and black is another option for a boys’ nursery design. For the parent who wants traditional baby colors in their baby boy’s butterfly baby bedding, it’s possible to eliminate the girlish feel by adding bugs, turtles or other motifs of interest to boys into the fabric print.
BUTTERFLY BABY NURSERY THEMES
Now that we have made the case that butterfly baby bedding can be adapted for both boys and girls, I would like to also point out that just because there is a set of butterfly nursery bedding that is decorating the baby's crib does not mean that the entire room and all of the accessories are to selected to design a butterfly theme.
There are many themes where your crib quilt or comforter might have a butterfly print and a few butterfly decorations without filling the room with them. Any natural garden or outdoors style of decor would be an appropriate background for insects, bugs and butterflies and in fact will be more attractive because of a creative mix rather than a singular focus on any one design.
