Baby Elephant Crib & Nursery Bedding Sets

Congratulations on your new baby bundle! Chances are, you love baby elephants for their gentle soul and large presence in our world. As a mom, we want these same qualities for our children. Perhaps that's why we often chose baby elephants for our baby girl or boy's nursery theme.

Starting your decor successfully begins with a focal point, one that stands out from the rest of the space in a "Look at me!" kind of way. An elephant in any room can certainly garner plenty of attention but really, you want your focal point to do just that in as pleasing a fashion as possible--in total baby elephant cuteness.

Grey is such a subdued color, one that may seem to be off-limits as a happy nursery. But surprisingly, grey and white--especially when a splash of color is added--can make for a serene, yet sophisticated, ambiance.

I'm thinking fussy baby and how soft greys can quiet and soothe. Color does play a big part with our emotions and I'll go for grey versus a sleepless night with baby any day.

I love the grey baby elephant themed nursery rooms here on the left, here. Don't you?

The crib set above is the 'baby boy' version of the pink baby elephant bedding above, so the advice to go for simple lines in baby's nursery is shared with this set. I'd say the blue elephants are just as adorable as their pink 'sisters!'

The blue and brown bedding on the right feature the baby elephant and an added element with the giraffe. I can appreciate an added subject, as it adds versatility to your nursery decor options. If you like the giraffe but want to keep more to the elephant decor, simply add more elephant wall art and accessories. Or go balanced with equal measures of elephant and giraffe.

Decor is all about creating a space you'll love being in; just keep to a few decorating basics and you'll have a cohesive, pulled-together room you'll both love.

Baby girl elephant bedding can have added and unexpected hues and with a crib set like this one with pink, green and the surprise of black, really adds to a more majestic nursery vibe.

I can see this bedding paired up with gold baby elephant art pieces for that novel addition I just mentioned. After all, elephant crib bedding for girls needn't be a strictly pink-on-pink palace. Go bold just when it's not presumed; steer left when a right is expected for added interest.

This 4-piece Hottsie Dottsie crib bedding set by Cotton Tale Designs is truly unique in a sweet, yet sophisticated worldly sort of way. Don't you think?

I suggest opting for mega crib sets if you've a big room or can use opposing walls for baby elephant-related art and accessories, lest you're left with too much competition for your crib set--the room's focal point, after all. Well, that is, a big if you can even find the crib set among the, what's by now, elephant clutter!

These pink baby elephant crib sets are a fabulous deal budget-wise and for large nurseries you'll have it all.

Just remember, keep themed pieces special and allow your elephants to stand in all their glory without too much interruption from less-important themed pieces.

 Using Purple for Whimsy - or Luxury

Purple has long been identified as the color of royalty yet, these very different crib sets only have their color and several elephants in common. One is fun and whimsical and the other, a sophisticated luxurious bedding set for baby girls or boys.

Obviously, it's a matter of taste but both are ideal for a baby's room and serve them well into toddlerhood if you're planning on keeping your decor around for awhile. The only 'problem?' Deciding on which crib set is best for your baby girl.
