Hiding the Box Spring of a Bed with a King Bedskirt
Sometimes a skirt isn't an article of clothing. That's the case with a king bedskirt. The function of a
bedskirt is to hide the foundation or box spring of a bed. There are a few big benefits of using them. One is that
it adds to the aesthetic value of the bed. This can be through the bed skirt's color, design, and style. Another
huge advantage is that you can store items underneath the bed, while keeping them out-of-sight.
When shopping for a king-size bedskirt, you could consider choosing one of these popular brands:
Brentwood
Cal King
Fresh Ideas
Happy Flower
Home
Marrikas
Pinzon
Ralph Lauren
Tommy Hilfiger
Here are some important tips to consider when buying your king-size bedskirt:
1. Color
It's advisable to choose a solid color, rather than bedskirt with a design. That's because such bedskirts are more
versatile. It doesn't really matter whether the color is light or dark. However, if you choose a light color (such
as a pastel) make sure that the skirt contains a lining or that it's made of a heavy fabric. That will prevent the
bedskirt from being transparent.
2. Design
You could go with a more traditional or contemporary design, when choosing a king-size bedskirt. But when selecting
it, make sure to not only consider the beddings, but also the other decor in the room. The most obvious technique
would be to complement a theme that you have in the room. Another method would be to create some contrast. But if
you take this approach, make sure that you're creating contrast, rather than clash.
3. Drop
This is the distance from foundation's top, to the floor. Why is this important? Depending on how high or low the
drop of your bed is, the bedskirt could drag on the floor, have multiple inches of clearance, or lie flush with the
floor. Does any of this matter? If the bedskirt is too lengthy, then you'll have problems with it getting dusty
faster. And if it's too short, then the items under your bed will be exposed to anyone who can see underneath it.
So a few inches difference in your bed's drop could have a significant impact on how the bedskirt lies.
4. Size
Never assume that your bed requires a king bedskirt (or any other size, for that matter). The only way to know for
certain which size bedskirt you need is to learn the exact measurements of your bed, or what size it's classified
as. It's crucial to get this process correct, so you won't get a bedskirt that's too small or too big.
5. Texture
This is an outstanding way to add some depth to the appearance of the beddings. Consider choosing a fabric with a
heavier texture, such as velvet and chenille. These fabrics will maintain their form over the years, meaning that
you'll only need to remove them for cleaning.
When you want to add some pizzazz to your bed, feel like a king when choosing a king bedskirt for any bed in your
home.
