Use of Bed Skirts

By Mira Pawar.

The Bed Room is your haven and private space. It is your comfort zone and needs to be kept clean and tidy. There are essential things by the dozen which finds place in the bed room but if strewn around all over, it might make the room look messy and reduce the comfort level that you are looking for. Therefore, it becomes imperative to find an appropriate space to store things, and the space under the bed is the best option.

Initially, a bed skirt was designed to avoid the accumulation of dust bunnies and indoor tumbleweeds under the bed, but now bed skirts are the best way to camouflage the stored articles under the bed. In the children’s room instead of countless number of dolls and cars being scattered all over, it’s a good idea to store them under the bed provided you adorn the bed with a skirt. Bed skirts are also meant to hide a bed’s box spring or foundation.  Storing trundle beds out of sight when they are not in use is simple with a bed skirt. When you don’t want the trundle bed poking out from under another bed, a bed skirt very cleverly hides it from the eyes of spectators.

Bed skirt is also an easy and inexpensive way to decorate your bedrooms. A well-chosen bed skirt adds instant style to a bedroom. The bed skirt can be matched with the other accessories in the room for instance, the curtains.  A bed skirt can be done with pleats, flat panel, gathered into ruffles or combining several pieces of different coloured fabrics. When buying the readymade bed skirts measure the mattress and add appropriate margin to get the right size so it hangs accurately on the bed. Do not use lace or flimsy material for the bed skirts if you intend to have one tailored as this will result in the hidden things under the bed to reflect. It is always advisable to choose a slightly thick fabric for the skirt to ensure a good fall. Bed skirts offer the finishing touch for a well-chosen bed in a cosy and lovely bedroom.

So, if you want your bed room to look plush, modern, cosy and fashionable, go ahead and add a little innovation to your interior designing skills. Be your own decorator, visit your Linen shop or go online to order and procure the right bed skirt and change the look of your bedroom. However, please do keep in mind that storing items under the bed for too long might intervene with the energy level in your body. Old and stored up energy is not good for health.
