Romance the Bedroom

25 June 2009

Creating a romantic bedroom doesn’t have to mean buying new furniture and remodeling the space for a fireplace. There are simple elements that you can add to evoke a romantic atmosphere.

Deep, rich accents of color in the bedding or walls provide a dramatic effect. In addition, the warmer tones of plum, brown, red and green create a cozy space that feels too good to leave.

The curtains also have an effect on the room. Billowy curtains soften the windows but also allow some natural light to flow in. If you prefer a Victorian style, try rounded-rod curtains, which puff at the top and flow out.

Small accessories such as bookends, pillows and lamps can also romance the room. For instance, illuminated glass-block bookends can provide a soft glow. Also, fuzzy blankets and large throw pillows are a luxurious touch.

Simple decorations in a bedroom such as a vase of flowers or new lampshade can create a different vibe.
