What are bed skirts used for? Do you need a bed skirt?

Chances are that you’ve seen bedskirts (also called “dust ruffles”) before, but what is a bed skirt? Do you really need a bed skirt, or is this item simply a decorative piece that has no real purpose? If you’re wondering whether or not to purchase a bed skirt, take a look at the many reasons why bedskirts are far more than just pieces of pretty fabric.

Historically, bed skirts were used to hide misshaped bed posts and box springs, but later these bedroom linens took on a whole new purpose. When those people who had bedskirts also had less bedroom bugs, it was discovered that a bed skirt has the ability to deflect dust and dust particles that would otherwise gather underneath a bed.

While this may not seem like a big deal to some people, the fact of the matter is that dust attracts bed bugs and dust mites, and these critters can wind up inside of your mattress if they are not eliminated. A bed skirt may not get rid of every bug, but you’ll certainly have a lot less of them! Even though bed skirts now have a practical purpose, they still come in many decorative shapes, sizes, materials, and colors.

In fact, today’s bed skirts are more luxurious than ever before. Yet, thanks to modern technology, contemporary dust ruffles are still entirely practical. For example, the 300TC Sateen Stripe Tailored Bed Skirt is made from lavish sateen (available in a variety of colors), though it can still be washed inside of a washing machine and dried in a regular dryer.

Contemporary bedskirts also come in a number of different styles ranging from ruffled bed skirts such as the Ploy Cotton Solid Ruffled Bed Skirt to ruffled bed skirts with small eyelet details such as the Eyelet Ruffled Bed Skirt . The main difference between a tailored bedskirt and a bed skirt that has ruffles is the style of the item.

If you want to create a traditional space, then a tailored bedskirt is probably your best bet. If you want to create a space that’s a bit more embellished, a ruffled bed skirt is the way to go. Bed skirts used to be reserved for those who could afford to spend a large amount of money on home decor. However, this is not the case today.

Bed skirts now come in a variety of price points ranging from dust ruffles that are made from expensive fabrics to those that are made from natural cotton. The best part about contemporary bed skirts is that even those bedskirts that are not expensive still look like deluxe items. Thanks to the many available patterns and styles that bed skirts are available in, you can create a stylish room on a limited budget.

You’ll find that we have a number of different dust ruffles ranging from contemporary to classic. You’ll also find many sizes to select from, so that you can protect your bed no matter how big or small your bed may be.

What Your Bedroom Color Says About You

I’ve been trying to find a way to change my bedroom look lately. I’ve found some interesting theories about color and how color affects our moods. For instance:

Neutral colors – Neutral colors like soft browns, beiges and greens make a room feel warm and cozy. These colors are often associated with nature. If you love to bring the outdoors into your bedroom, considering painting the walls a soft green and using neutral colors for bedspreads and pillow shams.

Blue/Green – Blue and green are soothing colors which brings a peaceful feeling of a water environment.

Pink – Expect to see pink in a little girl’s room only? Well, pink is a great accent color and offers a great deal of sophistication and glamour.

Lavender/Gold – Lavender and gold are a great combination. Lavender is calming, while the gold feels luxurious and sexy. Think about adding satin sheets and a bedspread.

A little color goes a long way to create a peaceful or sophisticated bedroom. Think about your favorite color, and what you’d like to see in your bedroom, then find the perfect sheets and comforters to add that color!
