GINGHAM BABY BEDDING
CHARMING CHECKS
and
DECORATING IDEAS
for
BABY'S NURSERY

Gingham baby bedding sets can play a big part in kicking off a crisp, modern nursery design project for any season of the year. I look forward to spring because there is always at least one decorating project where I get to use my decorating ideas for gingham fabrics. It’s so much fun to devise ways to decorate and accessorize with the pretty checks.

Line a storage basket with gingham liner, replace those dusty lamp and night light shades with clean gingham chandelier shades with pom pom trims and wouldn’t a yellow gingham bed ruffle be precious with your crib bedding? There’s just so much that we can do in a child’s bedroom with this classic fabric print. Bed skirts and other fabric crafts are just one of the ways to decorate with these charming, checked fabrics.

GINGHAM NURSERY DECORATING IDEAS If you feel that the décor needs more, break out the paint, stencils and matching wallpapers and carry the checks from the room’s top to the bottom. Here are more creative nursery decorating ideas to accessorize your gingham baby bedding sets with matching checkerboard patterns: Line baby’s dresser drawers with leftover wallpaper Paint inserts on the front of baby’s armoire or other pieces of nursery furniture with a checked design Gingham curtains for the nursery windows Matching shower curtains Cushions for the nursery rocker or sofa slipcovers Gingham checked ribbon tied in a big, fluffy bow decorating a homemade country door wreath Gingham baby bedding and fabrics brings to mind a country cottage surrounded by a picket fence with red and white curtains edged in white eyelet fluttering at open windows. If you are designing country style baby nursery themes, gingham may very well be the best fabric for you. The red and white check nursery color scheme would look lovely in a baby girl’s bedroom with a farming theme. I’m not sure how well apple green gingham baby bedding would blend with classic John Deere Green and yellow baby accessories, but there are red tractors, barns and wagons that it would work with. It’s easy to find gingham baby bedding in many colors as well as classic blue and white for baby boy’s rooms and pink and white for a baby girl’s nursery. Recently, I have noticed black gingham in combination with magenta pink which has a bold, contemporary feel. It might be possible to make use of this edgy, new color combo in a French or a French country nursery. Everyone could use a touch of gingham somewhere in their homes, so have fun and send me your pictures of that beautifully decorated nursery when you are done!
