A tall bed with unsightly box springs, under which you’ve stored all of the winter clothes in cardboard boxes, can startle the guests and scare the children. To prevent your mother-in-law from judging your house’s cleanliness, you might consider buying a bed skirt. These delightful cloths are decorative, aid in keeping a bedroom clean, and have a wide selection for you to choose from.
A bed skirt is placed between the mattress and the frame of the bed, hanging down on the outside to cover everything from the mattress to the floor. This includes the box springs, the legs of the bed, and anything you’ve stored under the bed for easy access. There is also a variety of colors and styles for bed skirts, allowing you to fit your décor perfectly, even if you want ruffles with polka dots. But these cloths are more than pretty – they’re functional.
Beds with bed skirts do not require as much attention as beds without them. A bed skirt can repel bed bugs and dust mites, both from getting into the mattress and wreaking havoc and from gathering under the bed where they are difficult to reach and destroy. This saves you a lot of trouble when cleaning and makes repeated house maintenance easier, so you have some more “you” time.
Speaking of “you,” you have plenty of selection to make you happy when choosing a bed skirt. Often, new bedding sets will come with bed skirts included, but when they don’t, you can usually find a suitable addition that will fit with the color scheme you’ve picked out. White or cream will go with pretty much anything, but if you’re picking for the kids’ rooms, you don’t want something that can get dirty easily. Instead, you can find patterns that include the colors already present in those rooms. You might also want to get more than one skirt per bed, especially if they are dry-clean only, so you’re not rushed to get things taken care of when it comes time to clean.
Bed skirts spritz up any bedroom, help to keep it clean, and make choosing easy. Why wouldn’t you want one?
