ORANGE BABY BEDDING

The reason for my reluctance stems from the old fashioned idea that pumpkin orange is not a flattering color when worn close to the face. And while we may not wear the curtains and crib bedding we pick for the baby’s nursery; the decor in our homes is always there in the background and either consciously or subconsciously we decorate our surroundings to show us in our best light. Some parents prefer cool colors and others lean towards the warm side of the color wheel where red and orange rule the roost.
Generally, when searching for a warm color to include on my project board shades of red tend to take center stage because it is such a user friendly color with undertones that make it so easy to find paint and decor to show it off to full decorative potential. For those same reasons, orange baby bedding sets are not something I see very often. Plus, at the mention of orange baby decor and crib bedding to a client I can expect a raised eyebrow and that look that tells me that promoting the idea of an orange baby nursery is not going to be an easy sell.
ORANGE BABY BEDDING AND NURSERY DECOR FOR GIRLS and BOYS
ORANGE NURSERY IDEAS FOR BABY GIRLS
After all, orange and black is a color combination we associate with Halloween, right? True enough, but lately I’ve seen some pretty cool orange baby bedding sets that leave black out of the fabric pattern altogether. The best example that comes to mind are the pink and orange baby rooms that are the foundation of a tropical or Hawaiian baby girl’s nursery theme with a place. This orange baby room is decorated using tiger lily print fabrics for color and tiki hut style raffia decorations to bring in a neutral color and texture reminiscent of the beaches found on the islands in Hawaii.
If you find the idea of decorating the nursery with orange baby bedding in a beach theme less than appealing, would you prefer polka dots or stripes? Baby bedding or decorations covered in pink and orange stripes or pink and orange polka dots would be so cute for a baby girl’s room. Work in some accent colors of teal blue or grass green and you will be amazed at the fresh and exciting look of your baby’s room.
DECORATING ORANGE NURSERIES FOR BABY BOYS
A set of solid color burnt orange baby bedding would not be much fun no matter how cool it looks as part of a brown and orange nursery color scheme. The good thing is that there are several popular baby boy room themes that have nothing to do with Halloween pumpkins or scarecrows that will work nicely when done up in shades of orange. Three themes that stand out that are currently available in fabrics that have touches of orange are robot bedding, outer space bedding and modern bedding sets with abstract shapes that feature this color as an accent to basic black, gray, brown and possibly green.
As you can see, there are many decorating possibilities here that have yet to be explored that are anything but spooky and associated with Trick or Treat.
