Bed skirt amity home

Do you ever feel like your stunning bed isn’t complete? Maybe just that one last thing that makes things perfect and smooth the lines for an elaborate but calm base? Most of the time that will be a fabulous bed skirt!

A bed skirt (also referred to as a dust ruffle) serves much more than a functional piece hiding the box spring or underneath bed storage, it is also an important part of your design. A bed skirt gives your bed a cohesive look, adds texture and color, and takes your bedroom from basic to beautifully curated.

At Amity Home, we believe that your bedroom should be a sanctuary, a true reflection of yourself, filled with things you love that are beautiful. Our bed skirts are designed with that in mind, blending fabulous craftsmanship with timeless style to give you the perfect finishing touch that you will enjoy for years to come.

Here are some favourites from our curated collection to help you find the perfect fit for your sanctuary.

A Few Quick Tips on Selecting the Right Bed Skirt

Are you ready to find a perfect match? Here are a few things our designers recommend: 

Drop Length is Important – Bed skirts have different “drops” (the length from the box spring to the floor). The standard is typically between 14″ to 15″, but take a tape measure and measure the distance from your box spring to the floor. You want it to just barely touch the floor for the most tailored, professional look.

Fabric and Texture – Look at the materials in the rest of your room – Are you using crisp cottons (choose a tailored cotton or linen blend such as Aiden or Basillo) or a softer and plush velvet (a more detailed option such as French Ruffle or Eveline will help to balance that and give you a little more texture)?

Don’t be afraid to contrast – A bed skirt is a great way to introduce a complementary texture or subtle coordinating color while still keeping your commitment simple. Just let it be the finishing frame!

Our commitment is to design and manufacture pieces that will have your house feeling like a much-loved home. Our bed skirts are meticulously made with only the best materials and artisanal finishes.
