What’s the Point of Bed Scarves in Hotels—and Should You Use One at Home? Those fabric strips at the foot of hotel beds are called bed scarves (or runners).

They’re more than just decorative—they’re practical too. Why Hotels Use Bed Scarves Add Style: White hotel bedding is clean but plain.

A colorful runner adds contrast and style. Protect Bedding: Guests may place luggage, shoes, or snacks on the bed. The scarf protects

the sheets from dirt or spills. At-Home Benefits Keeps Sheets Clean: Useful for pet owners, snackers, or coffee drinkers in bed.

Easy Decor Switch: Change your room’s vibe seasonally without buying new sheets. Flexible Use: Drape over furniture, hang like a tapestry,

or use on tables. Choosing the Right Bed Scarf Material: Look for textures (velvet, satin, faux fur) and durability. Function: Lightweight

for looks or heavier for warmth and protection. Size: Measure your bed (or furniture) for the right fit. Bed scarves combine fashion

and function—making them just as useful at home as in a hotel room
