There is perhaps no greater anticipation for most people than the nine months awaiting the birth of one's child. Although some expectant parents choose to make the gender of their baby a surprise, most people nowadays opt to find out their baby's sex ahead of time. One of the advantages in learning your baby's sex before it is born is the ability to decorate the nursery. This is especially important for people who wish to decorate the baby's room in gender specific colors and/or themes.
One very cute and unique theme for a baby boy's room is pirates. What little boy doesn't love pirates? Having a pirate theme as the nursery decorations will be a great way to foster your child's imagination, where his room will be filled with fantasy and fun. This environment has a great chance of encouraging your son to be creative and engage in role-playing.
Crib Bumper Sets
Another great benefit in decorating the nursery in a pirate theme is that it will last a long time. Using a theme such as pirates is something that children stay interested in for years and years. Your son will not grow out of his bedroom decor anytime soon, as he would if his room had a more baby-specific theme to it. Therefore, you can rest assured your son will feel his room is cool and want to show his friends throughout his childhood.
Since the nursery's decor typically centers around the crib bedding set, the first thing you need to find is the pirate-themed bedding. There are many websites where you can locate a complete set. There are many things that come with the bedding set, as well as other accessories you can buy separately to make the room complete. First, there is the bedding, which will consist of a sheet, comforter, bumper pad, dust ruffle, and possibly a pirate pillow. You can also obtain a pirate area rug, window valances, diaper holder, and pirate lamp. Other possible accessories include pirate-themed changing pad cover, waste basket and clothes hamper. You may be able to find some wall decorations to match.
Baby bedding sets nowadays last beyond the infant years too. The sheets and comforters can still be used when your child is ready to transition to a toddler bed. Furthermore, you may be able to still use the comforter for a time when your son again transitions to a big boy bed. If it is too small for him, you can use it as a decoration in his room and go out and get a full size version of a pirate bedspread. With this type of room decoration, your son will always remember what a cool room he had as a child.
