Finding a Designer Baby Crib
People are becoming parents at older ages these days, and
yet they increasingly want to be sure that they and their babies stay relevant
to pop culture. The arrival of the “hip parent” has been a refreshing change
from previous generations who largely settled down to raise kids in the
suburbs.
Some urbanites are now staying in the city (with their
relatively high incomes) while they raise their children, and their modern
sensibilities are evident even in their choice of nursery furniture.
What you Should Know Before Buying That Designer Baby Crib
But how is a modern urbanite that enjoys a small, if plush,
loft apartment fit a baby into their cosmopolitan lifestyle? The answer lies of
course in the choosing baby furniture that blends with the overall décor. This
is where a designer baby crib comes helpfully into hand.
You can find a designer baby crib in a variety of mostly
modern styles – including platform cribs, which convert to platform toddler
beds, corner cribs that make the most of a small nursery size and sleek chrome
or metal cribs. Round cribs, usually
made from wood, are also a popular designer baby crib choice, and all of these
options present an opportunity to introduce a baby into your life, without the
proliferation of plastic so common for new parents.
Another type of designer baby crib in particular is that of
the hand painted crib, which is widely available in a variety of themes and
styles. These cribs range from polka dot and stripes, to lush garden scenes
painted mostly on the ends of cribs. Obviously, hand painting allows an enormous
range of flexibility and ensures the crib will blend nicely with any decorating
style. These designer cribs also tend to lend an air of whimsy to a nursery.
No designer baby crib would be complete without designer
bedding to go in it. In fact, some designer cribs (round models and corner
models, for instance) require the purchase of special mattresses and bedding.
Some parents also prefer non-traditional bedding, in bright colors (not the
pastel pinks, blues and yellows of old) and in modern patterns – again, polka
dots, stripes and modern graphic flower designs.
What all designer cribs do typically have in common is that
of a rather hefty price tag. Be prepared to spend between $900 and $3000 on a
designer crib, while most traditional cribs top out between $1000 and $1500.
Designer cribs can be purchased in contemporary furniture stores, at boutique
baby stores and on websites devoted to upscale nurseries, like poshtots.com.
