Create a Romantic Bedroom

For a bedroom that is comfortable and appeals to the senses, the use of soft fabrics, whitewashed furniture, and a pastel colour palette create a bedroom that is romantic and tranquil.


 
 

Colour
Choosing colour is the first step in creating a romantic room setting. A combination of soft, muted tones and neutral colours achieve a room that is light and airy and soft and romantic at the same time. More than any other room in the home, the bedroom is the most personal when it comes to decorating so, while colour schemes may vary, a space that contains a carefully selected blend of soft, muted tones is much more conducive to rest and relaxation.

Texture
Pattern and texture are essential elements for creating a romantic bedroom. Silk, satin, and velvet offer the ultimate luxury and aesethic value. Don't just buy sheets! Spoil yourself with Egyptian cotton, or shop around for linen that has a high thread count. The higher the thread count the softer the sheet, and the more luxurious your experience. Bed linen prices are based on the thread count. The higher the thread count the more expensive the sheet.

Introduce pattern into the room to add a small amount of visual interest without overpowering the senses. Floral, check and stripe can all easily be combined as long as pattern and colour are muted and not too vivid.

Furniture
Think of gracious curves, soft, rounded corners and beautiful features. These are all pieces that add that touch of romance - whether it be feminine or furniture! Finishes in French Ivory, whitewash, cane and rattan, or luxuriously over-the-top period furniture and four-poster beds. Now we're talking. But don't forget about the man in your life. The occasional piece in dark wood, or a leather headboard, will ensure a space that offers just enough romance for both of you.

Finishing Touches

A room without accessories is like romance without... Well, let's just say that you can't have a romantic bedroom without a few carefully selected accessories! They say that diamonds are a girls best friend, and the same applies to a touch of sparkle. A crystal chandelier, crystal vase filled with roses, and silver-framed photographs will add just the right amount of shine and finish off this intimate space.


What is Egyptian cotton?
Fabrics made from Egyptian Cotton are softer, finer, stronger and longer lasting than any other cotton, while having a softness and silkiness to the touch unlike any other, creating beautiful long lasting linen. Buy from Falucca Linen.
