Bedskirts/Dust ruffles – Finish the Look of your Bedroom

Bedskirts/Dust ruffles – Finish the Look of your Bedroom

Bedskirts/dust ruffles are a must for any bedroom that has a bed covered in stylized comforters, bedspreads, pillows, quilts, throws, etc. The top of the bed may look fantastic, but as the eye moves down, there is a gaping hole at the bottom that reveals dust bunnies, under-bed storage, unsightly furniture legs, and dangling sheets. The bedskirt finishes the bed décor. They also keep the dust out and minimize allergies. Under the bed is a space that can be transformed into many different things, but your options are pretty limited without a dust ruffle to cover up your creative space usage. 

When you think of bedskirts/dust ruffles, you may think of the gathered frills at the bottom of your mother or grandmother’s bed. If that doesn’t appeal to you, go for the more streamlined modern look of a tailored bedskirt. These hang straight with a pleat at the corners and sometimes in the center of each side. They are a new design for a new generation. They come in many different colors, patterns, and sizes to suit every need. They are available in harder to find extra long and extra-extra long mattress sizes. Every bedroom can look great with a bedskirt regardless of the size of the mattress.

If you go for the traditional bedskirt/dust ruffle that is truly a ruffle, these also make great decorating statements. They don’t have to be strictly feminine in nature; they can look great in any type of bedroom. They also come in many colors and styles. The type of material a dust ruffle comes in can make a big difference in the overall impact of the ruffle. A simple cotton dust ruffle can look sophisticated modern. They come in 50% to 100% cotton options and with multiple thread counts from 200-1000.

The bedskirt/dust ruffle takes the line of the bed all the way to the floor. It covers that inevitable gap at the bottom of the bed. They can be especially important for day beds to have a stylish look. They come in all different sizes for all different needs. Twin, full, queen, split queen, Olympic, king, split king, California king, extra long, extra-extra long, etc. A good fitting bedskirt can make a big difference in how the bedding looks. You keep the room looking nice, and the dust under control. You get to use that space under the bed to hide away your treasures. The possibilities are endless.

Sleep Well,

Rose
