Black and White Baby Bedding Crib Sets

Black and white baby bedding is one of the most versatile of all.  The colors are neutral, making them ideal for the parents who are expecting either a boy or girl or for the parents who have chosen to wait until the arrival of the infant to learn if it is a boy or girl.

Black and White Nursery Bedding for Boys

When creating the black and white nursery for baby boys, it is important to keep the look soft, but not feminine.  The selection shown to the left (and available to the right) has a bold enough stripe to offset the softer looking pattern of the panel.  Of course, this black and white crib set is from Bananafish and that sets it apart.

To complete the nursery decor for the infant son adding blue accents would work.  Note that the accents do not necessarily have to be a light shade of blue.  A royal blue or something bright like turquoise or aqua would designate the little man as well as baby blue.

Recently I saw this set used in a nursery with a red accent which made me think that a primary color --- red, blue, green, yellow for example --- could work quite well with this crib bedding without making the nursery look feminine.

The Tadpoles toile nursery bedding in black and white will work in the infant boy's nursery.  The toile print softens the overall appearance, but the check bedskirt and fitted sheet definitely say he is all masculine.  Again, this is a matter of putting enough of the masculine design into the nursery while allowing the room to look like a nursery.

Once again, the accent colors will add more detail and determine the general theme of the room.

Black and White Baby Bedding for Girls

It seems that many of the manufacturers like the idea of black and white in the baby girl's nursery as many of the designs are accents with pink.  Whether the selection is the zebra print with pink trim or the hot dots with the hot pink trim, it is the trim that determines the bedding is designed for our little girls.

The hot dots with pink trim are a wonderful incorporation of black and white polka dot baby bedding with pink trim.  What could be more feminine, yet bold?

All our selections for both boys and girls are to the right.

 

Like black and white bedding for adults, the accent color will determine the look of the nursery.  While many of the baby bedding crib sets in black and white are quite elegant, adding an additional color can state the baby's gender by choosing blue or pink or can set the mood of the nursery.  There is no color that will not work well with the bedding.

In most cases the crib sets are gender neutral.  However, in some rare cases the trim will be either in pink or blue determining if the set is primarily designed for the new son or daughter.  Although most of the baby bedding sets are gender neutral, parents may prefer the lesser patterns for the son and the more decorative ones for the daughter.

As shown to the right, many of the baby bedding sets in black and white have a combination of patterns or focus mainly on the white or the black.  As such, accessories in the accent color(s) should be done in a solid color without pattern or design unless it is possible to match the pattern in the accent color and either black or white.

The accessories in the nursery decor will more or less determine the look and feel of the nursery while the black and white will hold up well with almost any theme.
