Adding Layers One Bed Skirt at a Time

Do you ever enter into a room and feel that it is finished, welcoming, complete, and full (but not in the sense of stuff)? I believe all that is a result of layers. Those decorators really have it right when they say layer, layer, layer! Even the smallest layer can make a huge difference. Even, say, a bed skirt, is a layer that can make a room feel more complete, more interesting, and fuller.
I know it may sound a silly but it really is these finishing touches that add so much to a room. Try adding a layer to a room and see how it feels - add curtains, a throw, pillows, a bed skirt. Step back and then take in the room. I bet you will love it!

Check out that before and after side by side to see how much a bed skirt can really make a difference! I think it brings an elegance to the room.

I wanted a simple white bed skirt that I found on Amazon.

I realized a bed skirt counts as a layer after I put it on. All of a sudden the room felt richer, more finished, and multi-dimensional. Not to mention it hid the ugly bed legs (and dust bunnies if I’m being real).

It also doesn't hurt that is provides a function as well - hiding those ugly bed legs and under the bed dust bunnies!

This guest bedroom is becoming more and more complete. This bed skirt now just adds to the welcoming presence of the room!

So I must agree with all those decorators out there – layer, layer, layer. Big and small, it helps. From curtains, to bed skirts, to pillows, and throws, no layer is too small.

It really does make a difference. The next thing you could add as a layer is a rug or two beside and in front of the bed. Pretty room!

  @Michele Eures Thank you! Great ideas on the rugs! I've been contemplating layering some sheepskin rugs...
