Your baby boy is no longer a baby and is now
ready to shed the nursery look in his bedroom. Choosing the right bedding does
not have to be a challenge. You should resist the temptation to purchase the
"cutesy" character bed sets available unless you plan to replace bedding every
year as your child’s interests evolve. You can give in to this impulse for the
sheets but keep the rest of the bedding grown up.

Tip: For boys you are best to choose a
mixture of masculine patterns such as stripes and plaids and solids in a color palette that
is fairly neutral. A safe mix for boys is red, white and blue or cream, beige and browns.
These color combinations can be easily accessorized in any theme your little one
may think up over the years and the stripes and plaid will grow with your child
without having to be replaced as too childish later on.

Accessorizing:
 

With a neutral background of bedding and decor you can turn your child’s room
into a reflection of his age and personality by adding inexpensive
accessories and decorative items. To change the look and feel of the room you
only have to shop for a few accessories instead of laying out the expense for
new bedding and the hassle of repainting and redecorating.

You can take your little boy’s
room from the preschooler’s dreams of being a cowboy to the preteen sports
enthusiast with a quick switch up of a few decorative items in the room. Then
switch to music posters and cars when your little boy becomes a teen.
 

Tip: Do not scrimp on your child’s bedding. Buy the very best you can
afford as this bedding will last a long time. Remember the goal is to buy your
child’s bedding just once. You will replace the sheets but the bed skirt,
comforter, shams and drapes will go the distance if you buy well.
