I personally think that since the beautiful crib has a rather serious style, and that your middle link for the decal is quiet enough and so does go with it, then therefore the first link to the busy bedding is just too much to add in.

What I'd do is I LOVE the crib you picked out, and I very much like the wall decal, but I'd just get some solid pastel-colored sheets, with a satin-like trim on any small quilt with minimal design, satin pillows, everything in perhaps two colors plus white, and a ruffle at the bottom just like in the picture for the crib. In fact, what's on that crib in the picture is what perhaps you could go for.

But if you are attracted to the amount of stuff you get with these packages, then I think the following link has the correct colors (including dark brown to match crib), and is less busy and the greens go with the wall sticker:
NoJo Little Bedding Jungle Pals 4 Piece Baby Nursery Crib Set - Walmart.com

But really, the main thing is if you like something, get it. On the other hand, I do want to defend the crib's style, it really is begging for something a tad calmer and a tad more sophisticated than the bedding you first chose, which I think the link I gave you at the same website brings you closer to it. Or, as I proposed you can put something together yourself that is less busy, mostly solid pale colors, with MAYBE a fancy little quilt with kid designs on it that includes a dark brown to tie it to the crib.

too busy? it's a kids room, by the time you add the toys, the clothes and all else that goes in the room it really won't make a bit of difference if the bed set has several colors vs one with only a few. the mom should pick what she likes.

Thanks for your suggestions!

The reason I chose the bed set with so many colors is that bright colors stimulate a baby and encourage them to crawl, sit up ect.

I love the crib as well but REALLY love the bed set. Do you think maybe a white crib would be better?

I think it will look great either with white or with black. Personally, I'd just pick the one I liked the most. What is the color of other pieces of furniture in the room? Keeping the furniture in the same color family is helpful.

The busy-ness of the patterns won't bother your baby; check in with yourself on how you will feel about looking at that room at 2am when you are getting just 4 hours of sleep a day. Maybe have one wall that is in a calming/non-active color that you can face when you are rocking your little one and trying to generate sleepiness.

I think it will look good either way and your child will be okay with it--unless you are giving birth to a little Candice Olson or Tim Gunn.

Make it work!
