Romantic Interior Fabrics
Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day approaching, but that doesn’t mean your bedroom can only have a romantic vibe for just one day. In fact, considering the bedroom is a place where you and your significant other spend a lot of time, it’s a room that should remain romantic all year long. If you aren’t sure where to begin, consider 5 key ingredients: your senses. Let’s take a look at how you can create a romantic bedroom that will appeal to your sense of touch, smell, sight, taste and sound.
Touch
The bed is the focal point of any bedroom and to make it romantic, your goal should be to make it as cozy as possible. Luxurious sheets, such as high-quality Egyptian or Prima, soft blankets, plush pillows and custom bedding are all great places to start. But don’t forget about the mattress or the headboard. A good mattress will make your time together heavenly and a custom headboard will make the room feel like you’re in a five-star hotel.
Smell
Grouping scented candles together not only smell nice, they also resemble a romantic fireplace. Not every scent works well for everyone, so if you aren’t sure what your partner likes, lean toward something mild. If you two have a favorite vacation spot, close your eyes as you test the scents to see if there’s something that brings back memories of your trips there.
Sight
Please your eyes with your color palette and lighting. Crisp or creamy whites, as well as soft grays and blues, provide a soft, romantic look. A neutral palette accented with silver finishes will give your room a luxe look. Chocolate browns and red will give the room a passionate punch.
When it comes to lighting, you can keep it simple or go all out with a chandelier. Whichever lighting you choose, choose lower wattage or install a dimmer so you can control how much light you want. Lamps, sconces and candles are also great low-lighting ways to set the mood. In regards to natural light, dress your windows to complete the design, control light and provide privacy.
Taste
Champagne and chocolate are a perfect combination for a romantic setting. Be sure to keep a tray handy, or if you have the space, add a bistro-sized table and chair set to create a nook for times you want to have a romantic evening at home.
Sound
Music is a mood setter so be sure to keep your favorite CDs handy. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary, but if you’d like it to remain a romantic one, move the television to another room to avoid distraction from each other.
