Choosing Bedding for Cribs Part 2: Furnishing the Nursery
Summary
When it comes to setting up a nursery, getting pregnant is arguably the simplest part! As a first-time mom 26 years ago, options for nursery furnishings were quite limited. Everything was practical but lacked style, and coordination meant having more than two matching items. In the UK back then, Mothercare was the go-to store for all new mum essentials, unless you could afford higher-end department stores. The Internet, with its endless choices and price comparisons, was nonexistent.Article
Furnishing a nursery? The easiest task might have been getting pregnant! Over two decades ago, when I became a mum, options were sparse. While practical, the choices weren't particularly charming, and coordination meant owning a couple of matching pieces. In the UK, Mothercare was the center for baby needs unless you favored upscale department stores. The luxury of online shopping didn’t exist, making choices quite constrained.
Recently, a close friend announced her pregnancy, sparking my curiosity about today’s options. As she is a fan of New England style and planning to emigrate there, I sought something unique for her nursery.
Exploring crib bedding online, I found terminology confusing at first. I learned that in the US, a "crib" is what we in the UK call a "cot." Similarly, a "bassinet" in the US is a "Moses basket" and a "cradle" in the US is a "crib" here. To make it clearer:
- (US) Crib = (UK) Cot
- (US) Bassinet = (UK) Moses Basket
- (US) Cradle = (UK) Crib
American websites offer a wider array of options compared to those in the UK. This doesn’t mean UK goodies aren’t available too, but the variety of designs and colors is more extensive in the US. Searching for “bedding for cribs” reveals numerous US sites with countless designs, varying in price and quality. Nursery styling now extends beyond matching crib bumpers and quilts to complete room designs in furniture and fabrics to fit any dream. I even discovered a beautiful black and white gingham set that looked stunning in photos.
I found charming bedding for my friend's nursery but decided against a ready-made quilt. Instead, I had one custom-made in New England style, with the baby’s name on it. I hope this personalized set becomes a treasured family heirloom.
