Bed Skirts - How to Find the Right One for Your Bed

Have you ever considered styling your bed? It might be the one element that is missing in your bedroom design. Your bed linens need to be ironed. The corners have to be tucked right, and the pillows fluffed to perfection. You already know all these. But one element that is often overlooked can really make a difference – a bed skirt.

In this post, Legacy Décor, bedding, and other design accessory experts tell you what a bed skirt is and how you can find the perfect one for your bed:

What Is a Bed Skirt?

A bed skirt is a fun and functional addition to your bed that can effectively hide your bed’s foundation. It’s an ingenious yet simple addition that can ensure that whatever you have under your bed is hidden from sight. That means that with a bed skirt on, you can hide anything you want under the bed without anyone noticing them!

Bed skirts are available in an array of styles and colors, so they are an excellent way to add texture and pattern to your bedroom as well.

What to Consider When Buying a Bed Skirt

If you are considering getting a bed skirt, make sure that you consider these things first:

The Right Size

When picking bed skirts, make sure that you check that it’s the right size. Getting one that is too big or too small won’t look good on your bed. Don’t make guesses or estimates. Measure your bed and give the measurements to the shop where you’re getting the bed skirts to ensure that you’re getting one that will fit the bed perfectly.

The Drop

The ‘drop’ refers to the measurement from the foundation’s top to the floor. The standard for bed skirts is 15,” but it can still vary. If your bed’s drop measurement is 16” or higher, then the standard bed skirt won’t reach the floor. If it’s anything less than 15”, the skirt will drag on your bedroom floor.

The Color

If you have a teal and brown bedspread, it wouldn’t make sense to get an orange bed skirt! Make sure that your bed skirts match the linens that you have at home. Or, if you’re opting for a light color, make sure that the material of the fabric is heavy so light won’t show through. If you have plain bed sheets, you can play with textures and prints for your bed skirt to add an element of interest to the room.

Should You Buy Ready-Made Bed Skirts?

If what you have are faux silk comforter sets, you might not find bed skirts in the same material. However, it wouldn’t hurt to do a quick search online or to ask décor experts like Legacy Décor for bed skirts in a specific fabric. Be extra careful when you’re ordering online from unknown sellers because you can never be sure of the print and the quality of the bed skirt that you’ll receive.

Conclusion

Bed skirts can elevate the look of your bed. It can also help make your entire bedroom look more stylish. The best thing about bed skirts is that they don’t just improve the style of the bed but also conceal all the stuff that you keep under your bed! Just make sure that you get the right bed skirt that fits your bed and matches your linens!
