Does anyone else hate girl bedding/colors?

Bella263 · June 2009

It's like a pink explosion. Everytime I click on anything for a girl I end up with a headache just looking at the room. Boys stuff is so much cuter and less busy. I'm thinking of going with a gender neutral theme even if we find out we're having a girl - I despise the bedding/colors/themes that much. I would love to find something in a soft yellow with green accents or vice versa for a girl that wasn't smothered in hearts or flowers or princesses. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong sites, but so far it's nothing but pink and more pink.

Sigh.

I felt the same way! Too busy, too monochromatic, and too prissy for my own tastes.

what about a bumble bee theme. its neutral, but super cute. or look up the delilah by cotton tails. its beautiful. also, not sure what your budget is, but look up the carosel bedding website, they have a ton thats not pink. and you can also design your own. black toile with pale yellow walls would also be super cute. just a few idea, hope that helps!

I hear ya! While we are using some pink, we are just using it as an accent color. Our main colors will be soft yellow (on the walls) and with pale/sage green and pale pink accents.

I don't dislike pink but a lot of the sites and nurseries I've seen online are pretty intense with pink.

kle+spd · June 2009

Yep! I felt the same way!

Maybe go to etsy.com and type in "crib bedding"...there are lot of ppl on there that have custom bedding where you can pick from a number of fabric prints!

I've never been a fan of pink. I don't know what we're having, yet, but I think I'll go gender neutral either way. I like the idea of some sort of animal theme...especially a safari theme. I just adore giraffes.

That's why I'm going to try to make my own. My main two colors are aqua and chocolate brown in the room and for the bedding I'll be using a bit of those colors with some pink and a green added. It's kind of tropical (the color theme) and the fabrics aren't going to be "themed" in any way. I'm going for a more modern look.

I don't like pink either, or the modern hot pinks. I didn't get a bedding set, instead I made my own crib skirt out of grass green silk, we have lavender walls and modern chocolate furniture. I have some feminine touches and will post pics as soon as I can but it is possible to make a girl's room cool, but still feminine without pink princesses and all that.

We didn't buy bedding until we found out what we were having, but even though we found out it was a girl we still did not pick pink! I have never ever been a fan of the pink nurseries, it seems like way too much for me, when I was little my favorite color was yellow, but it was really hard to find bedding that was yellow and didn't have like Winnie the Pooh or something on it, we wanted plain. We ended up finding chocolate brown, ivory, and kind of a pea soup green bedding set that has elephants on it from JCPenny. It also comes in pink and brown but I fell in love with the green (I wish it was yellow)! We have espresso colored furniture in here room and it goes really good with the bedding set, plus I think it is unique that I am having a girl and it does not look like a girl nursery! Our last name also means keeper of the elephants so that is why we fell in love with the bedding.

I felt the same way and then found myself going with a pink set. Embarrassed

hopingforacane · July 2009

I am doing the animal theme I either way. I can't stand girly nurseries.

I am doing this:

https://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=preciousplanet#nursery

It was bought and I don't know if you can get it on amazon or not. I know that it is only sold at walmart!

FlaCourtney · July 2009

That's partly why we didn't find out -- I knew I wasn't going to decorate overly pink or blue either way.

I have seen some cute girl bedding that is a little more subtle. I really liked the Brooke line at PBK:

The Penelope is a bit girlier but also cute. I liked the birds a lot. And some of the Dwell stuff has enough pink in it to make it too girly for a gender-neutral room but it's not gag-inducing.

MrsWanee · July 2009

i don't like pink at all either. although i did find this adorable little doll clothes themed one at land of nod that usually i wouldn't like, but it's just too cute to resist. i also really like their animal theme one for a girl... maybe next time we'll have a girl and i can get it!

swanstdl · July 2009

There are so few times in life that you get to use pink. I was excited when our daughter picked nursery bedding with subtle pink as one of the colors. Like anything else, pink in moderation is beautiful.

But planning a big girl room with a two year old required adding LOTS of pink!!

FinallyMrsM · July 2009

I am so with you. I cannot find anything I like for girl bedding.

Gem17 · July 2009

All I want is purple, but they all have butterflies or flowers on them. I have found a few I like.

This isn't yellow or green, but we ordered this and it's soooo pretty in person. Just black and off white!

karelaorange · July 2009

Target and, believe it or not, Walmart have some cute modern bedding. I agree with you one hundred percent. We're having a girl, and I didn't necessarily intend to make a gender neutral room but that's what it's turning into. I'll post pics soon.

A few I really like:
