                     Are bed skirts necessary?
A bed skirt is nothing but a decorative piece 
of fabric that is placed between the mattress 
and the box spring of a bed. The main 
objective of a bed skirt is to give your bed a 
glamourous appeal without exposing the 
sides of the box spring or hide any unsightly 
things under the bed. Bed skirts come in a 
variety of styles and designs and offer useful 
ways to add pattern color and texture to 
your bedroom décor. 
Typically, bed skirts are designed to fall from 
the top of the box spring to the floor. 
However, the distance on some beds is 
greater than others so, a custom skirt may 
be required. A bed skirt can be tailored in 
many ways such as pleats, ruffles, flat panel. 
Some skirts can even combine several layers 
of fabrics to create a multi-faceted look.

What should you consider 
when buying a bed skirt?
• Size
The size of the bed skirt is the most important 
thing to consider when picking the right bed 
skirt for your bed. Too big or too small will not 
fit your bed and will ruin the look of your bed 
skirt as well as the overall look of your 
bedroom. Make sure that the bed skirt is of the 
same length and width of your bed.

• The drop of the bed skirt
The drop of a bed skirt refers to the 
measurement from the top of the foundation 
to the floor. While the standard 
measurement for ready-made bed skirts is 
15 inches, it can vary. A bed skirt with a 16" 
drop will not go all the way to the floor, while 
a bed skirt with 14" drop will drag on the 
floor. 
 
• Color
A bed skirt in a solid color is a versatile 
choice. A light-colored bed skirt in white, 
yellow, pink, or other pastels, make sure to 
choose bed skirts that are lined or made of 
heavy fabric so that light does not show 
through from under the bed.

• Patterns
Use interesting patterns such as stripes, checks, plain or texture. Patterned bed skirts 
complement or contrast with other fabrics in the room and make it look elegant.
A plain bed skirt can be customized using lace, an overlay of eyelet, ribbon trim, or 
beaded trims. You can experiment for a custom look and then buy the required materials.

• Texture
Bed skirts made of heavy-textured fabrics 
such as velvet, chenille, faux suede, and 
Matalasse keep their shape and stand fresh 
for many years. You can simply take it off for 
cleaning or washing.
