Romantic Bedroom Decorating IdeasRomantic bedroom decorating ideas are ones that please all of the senses. If you are a romantic, you can easily create a personal place that you will love to spend time in.
But first we need to be practical by getting rid of the clutter making your bedroom much more inviting and open to intimacy and comfort.
Your surroundings affect your mood and how you feel. If you are living with the same bedroom decor you may be bored with the same old look and may be time to think about making a few changes and setting an amorous mood.
Romantic bedroom decorating ideas mean many things to many people so fortunately any theme can be made to feel loving.
And a good beginning would be color. Color (like our surroundings) affect the way we feel too.
Warm colors of reds, yellows, and oranges instantly bring to mind a hot romance.
Want a more relaxed feeling of intimacy? The cool colors of blues, greens, and purples invoke a feeling of calm with the deeper tones of this palette being very dramatic accents.
And naturally the neutrals have their own place with much flexibility to be accented with warm or cool tones.
And nothing says romance more than pastels of soft pinks, light blues, lavenders and peaches. Putting a glaze on the walls in soft gold gives the walls a warm glow.
SightSoft lighting creates a sensitive ambience. Lamps, (with bulbs tinted in pinks, peaches or a golden yellow) are flattering and work best for this purpose, especially with silk beaded shades in a soft color. The beads will reflect the light.But a hanging chandelier is also ideal, and sconces on the wall will add a touch of elegance. An up light in an otherwise dark corner will cast neat shadows as it illuminates the area. Bright light is necessary for getting dressed, so if you have recessed lighting in the bedroom they should be placed on dimmers.
Romantic bedroom decorating ideas of adding the warm glow of candles add to the romance of those special nights.
SmellUse several scented ones of different sizes and that compliment the colors of the room (in front of the mirror to cast reflections.) When you have scented candles, the aromas will be pleasing your sense of smell. Sandalwood appeals to many, while lavender is a soothing scent.Keep fragrant cut flowers on the night stand or dresser for color and just because they are pretty.
SoundKeep the TV out of the room (it only serves as a distraction.) Instead use a sound system with your favorite CD's to play soft music to help you unwind, relax and focus on each other.
TasteRomantic bedroom decorating ideas for the mornings, have bed trays (on legs) so you may spend time enjoying breakfast in bed.TouchThe bed, (complete with its sumptuous bedding) is the main focal point and very important in setting the tone for your romantic bedroom. It should be something that you love with a comfortable mattress that invites sleeping in on those days where you can, from the traditional four posters to an upholstered headboard.
Romantic bedroom decorating ideas use a variety of home decorating fabrics that long to be touched introduces texture, color and pattern into the room as well as creating a mood.
Layered window treatments of silk or chenille that allow the sun in when opened or when closed creates a haven and muffles any outside sounds.
Drape a sheer lightweight fabric, like an organza to create a dreamy canopy over the top of a four-poster bed. An area rug softens the room and can define a sitting area or be placed at the foot or on the side of the bed for your bare feet to step on. Accessories play a pivotal role and offer great opportunities in creating a romantic boudoir. Warmhearted artwork and paintings are one way to create the intimacy wanted but keep them to a minimum and nothing too graphic. Impressionist paintings work nicely.
It’s great to show the off the family in photos but this is not the room in which to do it.
But maybe a beautiful bronze sculpture of two lovers or a display of perfume bottles or antique combs, hairbrushes and hand mirrors atop the vanity.
