What Are Bed Valances & Why You Need One
A bed valance, also known as a bed skirt, is the finishing touch that brings a bedroom together. Sitting neatly between your mattress and bed base, bed valances conceal the base of the bed and any under-bed storage while creating a clean, tailored look. More than just a practical addition, valances for beds soften the overall feel of a room and create a beautifully layered foundation for your bedding.
Types of Bed Valances We Offer
Our collection of bed valances is designed to complement every bedroom style. Crafted from premium linen, each linen valance offers a relaxed drape and timeless appeal that pairs effortlessly with both classic and contemporary interiors. Available in a range of sizes, including a double bed valance, our tailored skirting for beds is designed to fit neatly while adding texture and understated elegance to your sleep space.
How to Choose the Right Bed Skirt for Your Bed
Choosing the right bed valance starts with selecting the correct bed size and measuring the drop from the top of your bed base to the floor. This ensures your bed skirt sits neatly without dragging or appearing too short. Pair your linen valance with coordinating quilt covers, sheets and cushions for a considered, layered look. Linen is a beautiful choice for its natural texture, breathability and effortless drape, bringing a relaxed yet refined finish to the bedroom.
Caring for Your Bed Valances
Looking after your linen valance will help it retain its beauty for years to come. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent and avoid bleach to preserve the natural fibres. Line dry where possible or tumble dry on low heat, removing promptly to minimise creasing. For a crisp finish, iron on a warm setting, or embrace linen's relaxed texture for an effortlessly lived-in look.
