Are bed skirts necessary?

• A bed skirt is nothing but a decorative piece of
  fabric that is placed between the mattress and
  the box spring of a bed. The main objective of a
  bed skirt is to give your bed a glamourous appeal
  without exposing the sides of the box spring or
  hide any unsightly things under the bed. Bed
  skirts come in a variety of styles and designs
  and offer useful ways to add pattern color and
  texture to your bedroom décor.
• Typically, bed skirts are designed to fall from
  the top of the box spring to the floor. However,
  the distance on some beds is greater than others
  so, a custom skirt may be required. A bed skirt
  can be tailored in many ways such as pleats,
  ruffles, flat panel. Some skirts can even combine
  several layers of fabrics to create a
  multi-faceted look.

What should you consider when buying a bed skirt?

• Size
• The size of the bed skirt is the most important
  thing to consider when picking the right bed
  skirt for your bed. Too big or too small will not
  fit your bed and will ruin the look of your bed
  skirt as well as the overall look of your
  bedroom. Make sure that the bed skirt is of the
  same length and width of your bed.

• The drop of the bed skirt
• The drop of a bed skirt refers to the measurement
  from the top of the foundation to the floor.
  While the standard measurement for ready-made bed
  skirts is 15 inches, it can vary. A bed skirt
  with a 16" drop will not go all the way to the
  floor, while a bed skirt with 14" drop will drag
  on the floor.
•  
• Color
• A bed skirt in a solid color is a versatile
  choice. A light-colored bed skirt in white,
  yellow, pink, or other pastels, make sure to
  choose bed skirts that are lined or made of heavy
  fabric so that light does not show through from
  under the bed.

• Patterns
• Use interesting patterns such as stripes, checks,
  plain or texture. Patterned bed skirts complement
  or contrast with other fabrics in the room and
  make it look elegant.
• A plain bed skirt can be customized using lace,
  an overlay of eyelet, ribbon trim, or beaded
  trims. You can experiment for a custom look and
  then buy the required materials.
