Bed skirts are used to cover the box spring area below your comforter or bedspread. They come in several different sizes and types to complement any room décor. Bed skirts can be made to coordinate with your bedding, lace and crochet bed skirts are popular and somewhat generic, in that they coordinate with almost any type and style of bedding.

Bed skirts come in regular lengths of approximately twelve to fourteen inches, but you can purchase long bed skirts if you have a bed that sits higher than normal. You can simply make or purchase extra long bed skirts or even layer your bed in a bag standard size bed skirt with a longer bed skirt or over the top of an extra coordinating sheet draped over the box spring to fill longer bed skirt needs.

Consider the need for special or custom bedding when purchasing home furnishings such as amance linen comforters and queen bed skirts. If you have purchased home furnishings in bedding, comforters, or bedskirts, in full or twin sizes, or those requiring special or custom bedding, consider making one purchase of an extra good quality goose down comforter and several coordinating duvet covers to reduce the need for frequent laundering and cut down the likelihood of having to make subsequent purchases.

Other options include adding a slightly funky touch to pull the look together with a central theme, such as a tailored, black and white bed skirt to tie a racing theme for a young boy’s bedroom together. Such a piece could easily carry over into the next phase of life, with a stark black and white geometric, graphic design during the teen years and allow you to transition some pieces from one phase to the next, allowing the furnishings to change as your needs change while keeping extra purchases to a minimum.

Buying bedding such as comforters and sheets to coordinate with items such as a clearance bed skirt can allow you to make special or custom purchases less costly as well. Another option for extra tall beds could be to purchase an elastic or Velcro bed skirt, so it could be pulled as far down as possible, allowing it to drape further.

Another option for bed skirts is to consider dusting off your sewing machine. When you purchase your bedding ensemble, buy an extra matching or coordinating flat sheet, so you will have matching or coordinating fabric to extend your bed skirt with an extra under layer, or to make your own custom bed skirt. Finally, consider adding a layer of wide eyelet lace to extend a bed skirt that is too short.
