Make a Fashion Statement With a Queen Bedskirt
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to revamp the décor of your bedroom you may want to purchase a bed skirt. Queen size bed skirts come in many styles, patterns, and fabrics. The choices are close to limitless but if you find the right bed skirt, you can transform your queen platform bed into the centerpiece of your bedroom. A bed skirt is also known, as a dust ruffle is a piece of fabric that serves two purposes. It covers the box spring and the area under the bed giving you a fashionable look to your room and it helps to slow the build-up of dirt and dust under the bed. There are two main styles of bed skirt the first is pleated. A pleated bed skirt is made of fabric panels that surround the bed. The second is ruffled and is constructed of one continuous piece of fabric.
Different Constructions For Queen Bed Skirts
Along with styles, there are two main types of construction for bed skirts. The first is deck construction. With this type of bed skirt, there is a decorative piece of fabric that the bed skirt attaches to and goes between the mattress and box spring. This allows the bed skirt to be held firmly in place by the mattress. The disadvantage is that when it comes time to remove the skirt for cleaning you have to lift the mattress off of the skirt to remove it. The second type of construction is panel construction. The difference is that this type of skirt attaches to the box springs with a set of pins, which allows for easier installation and removal. The disadvantage is that this type of skirt does not stay in place as well as the deck-type skirt. If you are going to get a queen bed platform skirt one of the first things you will have to accomplish is to get correct measurements
Find the Drop For Your Bedskirt
Before you start to measure, you will have to decide which type of construction you are going to look for. For a deck bed skirt, your measurements will have to be exact as they are not adjustable. If you are going to get a panel bed skirt, you do not have to be as accurate as they are adjustable up to two to three inches. To find the drop you will want to measure from the top of the box spring to the floor. For a pleated bed, skirt subtracts one inch so that the skirt does not touch the floor. If you are going for a ruffled bed skirt you can measure it exact or add a couple of inches since most people have ruffled platform queen bed skirts touch the floor or even run out onto the floor a couple of inches. Although the length of the skirt and whether it touches the floor or not is going to be up to you and what is pleasing to your fashion taste.
