Bedspread
A bedspread is lightweight, decorative, and covers the entire bed, coming up over the pillows and kissing the floor. Although currently out of vogue, bedspreads were once adored as an easy way to make a bed, allowing one to hide everything on the bed in one fell swoop. Currently out of vogue, chenille bedspreads were popular in the 1950s.
Also known as a Dust Ruffle, a bed skirt may be used to hide the sides, under storage, and foot of the box spring or bed rails. Skirts can be tailored with simple pleats, or ruffled with undulating gathers.
