Why Skirted Furniture Endures
Briefly

From a decorative perspective, [skirted furniture] can offer a great tailored aspect to any room. It can be an opportunity to add passementerie, such as ruche, or fringe and other tailored effects like a ruffled edge or a contrast welt.
Long fringe is a way to add softness to spaces while still keeping furniture's graceful lines. Today's gestures in skirting are more about form and drape and keeping materials pliant.
Culturally, skirted furniture may be seen as uptight, but there's room to have fun with it. It's about blending elegance with modern twists and embracing the history of design.
