Decorating your bedroom for a romantic atmosphere is a process that involves choosing paint, wallpaper, bedding and draperies. Remember to take your partner's taste into consideration. Model your room after a luxury hotel or your favorite bed and breakfast to capture the romantic feel you're after.
Instructions
1. Define what a romantic room looks like to you and your partner. You can do this by clipping pictures from magazines of bedrooms you consider romantic and have your partner do the same. Look for photos of luxury hotels and bed and breakfasts.
2. Evaluate the photos you've chosen as your favorites. Chances are good you'll find a pattern. They may be monochromatic in color, or they may be filled with flowers, overstuffed furnishing and lots of pillows. Knowing what style to go in will make the process much easier.
3. Decide on a color scheme that fits the style you've selected. Consider the other colors you've used throughout your home. While you want a romantic look in the bedroom, you also want to make sure it works with the rest of your decor.
4. Purchase bedding and draperies first. It's typically recommended you purchase them at the same time to make sure they'll work well together. For a classic look, stay monochromatic and choose shades of one color. For a traditional B&B look, choose multiple patterns that use the 3 to 5 colors.
5. Select high thread count sheets for a luxurious feel. Purchase plump pillows and consider using lace or satin sheets. These options will add romance to your bedroom regardless of the decorating style you've chosen.
6. Paint or wallpaper the walls in a color that matches or compliments your decorating style. Add pattern for depth and sophistication.
7. Decorate your bedroom with soft artwork and choose lighting that can be altered to suit the mood. Consider installing dimmers or wall sconces for indirect lighting. Scatter candles, potpourri and family photos in heirloom frames around the room.
