Basic Tips for Romantic Bedrooms

The bedroom is a place for relaxation, sleep and romance. Here are a few tips to help you transform your bedroom into a romantic one.

First, consider the needs and desires of your partner. While it is good to get ideas and tips from magazines, interior décor sites, you need to take into consideration the needs and preferences of your spouse.

Then, consider what you like and blend it with what your partner likes. From this mixture, you can create a unique style for your bedroom.

Conventional features of a romantic bedroom include; soft lighting, scented candles, soft rugs, four poster beds etc. However, you don’t have to be limited to these, there are a lot of things that can make a bedroom romantic and you can be creative about it.

The basics are:
Bed fabrics
Make sure the bed is comfortable; the sheets should also be comfortable and smooth on the skin. The duvets, bedcovers and pillows should also be comfy.

Lighting
Lighting should be soft and dim. Apart from the main bedroom light, you can have a side switch for the softer lights. Though candles are good for romantic light, you have to take some extra care with them.

Personalise the bedroom
Put items in the room that make you feel relaxed or happy.  These could be your favourite painting or a picture you love, or your favourite music etc.

Design
The furnishing of the bedroom also goes a long way in making the room romantic. You can create a unique style from your selection and combination of window treatments, furniture and its placement, wall and floor finishes.

As much as possible reduce the amount of furniture in the bedroom in order to give ample space free movement in the room. Rustic timber, sleek lined lacquered furniture, French provincial, steel frames are great options for furniture.

The flooring should be warm underfoot; a wall to wall carpet or a loose laid rug will be suitable for this.

You can paint the walls in your preferred choice of colours, soft, warm colours like pale blue, soft peach, and buttery yellows are okay.
