Windows:

Let the sun shine in during the day – but in the evening, who needs the glare of a streetlight? Some good blinds will keep your room dark and romantic, allowing you to sleep in during the morning. But, blinds on their own can be boring. Add a bit of romance to your window treatment by adding some light curtains in a beautiful material.

Bedding:

The focal point of any bedroom is the bed – so make sure you make it as luxurious and inviting as you can! Invest in the very best sheets, pillows and blankets that you can. Look for cotton sheets with a high thread count (anything over 300 is good – and up to 1000 is even better!). Choose a duvet and a duvet cover that matches your sheets. Lots of throw cushions in various shapes, sizes, colors and patterns will make your bed extra tempting.

Lighting

One of the most important factors in creating a romantic abode is to consider the lighting. The key word? Options! Install a dimmer switch – it’s quick, affordable, and surprisingly simple! This will allow you to have the room nice and bright when needed, but you can also dim it to create a more romantic ambiance. Add some wall sconces to add to the romance, which can either be outfitted to hold electric lamps or to showcase a few candles. Place some more candles in strategic places around the room so you can light them as you wish. A few lamps will also allow you to have increased control over the lighting, so you can illuminate the room as you wish. A slightly more expensive idea to create a more romantic bedroom is to install pod lights right into the ceiling.

Romantic Décor

Paintings that evoke sensual feelings should be well placed around the room, adding mystique and appeal to the surroundings. Items such as nude portraits, open flowers, or embracing couples are all great ideas to make your bedroom even more romantic. Choose your art carefully and make sure that it will make you happy on a daily basis. Add depth to the décor by including some statues or wall art that had some more dimension.

Items to Avoid

If you really want to make your room a romantic escape, there are certain décor items that are better left to other rooms. Keep the bedroom as clean and clutter-free as possible. Try to avoid keeping a workstation and computer in the bedroom if possible. Pictures of mom and dad? Those would look fantastic – in the hallway. Artwork with harsh lines such as sports or vehicle photographs should be moved out of the bedroom. Keep the space as light and airy as possible, removing unessential technology, tidying wires, and leaving disorder to the minimum.You can turn any bedroom into a romantic escape with a bit of thought – and it doesn’t need to be a costly renovation, either! The main idea is to keep the space as clean as possible. To make it extra-romantic, add a vase of fresh flowers!
