Creating a romantic bedroom is easy. It doesn’t have to be expensive and can be done on a budget.
Chocolates and champagne generate a rich romantic feel.
Apart from that, below are other tips to transform the ambience of your bedroom on this day of love; or on any other day that you share with your special person. Use them and surprise your heartthrob.
Mood lighting: Soft lighting is the best way to create a romantic mood. This is the best time to use dim lighting.
Get dimmer switches to control the amount of lighting in the room; they will easily set lights to low beam offering a dreamy ambience.
Candles: Let candles take over if you don’t have or are not keen on lighting that can be dimmed. If you are lucky to have a fireplace in your bedroom, the task is even more fun. Candles will set the right mood and evoke feelings of intimacy.
Decorate the fireplace with Valentine’s Day-themed candles to offer a more pleasing visual. Candles create a more dramatic, romantic, and dreamy ambience. They also make your room warm and cosy.
Fragrance of love: How about you add some aroma of love since romance is all about playing with the senses? As you get the candles, ensure they are scented. Floral fragrance could do, but are not advisable since the smell could be overwhelming. How about you use a scent or perfume that brings back fond memories; of the days you started dating or the day you met. Some pot-pourri will add a romantic zing.
Romantic melody: Music too, is part of decorating. Need some nostalgia, dip into the memory bank and pick up the special music that the two of you love.
A hint of music in the air will make the moment even more special. Dip into the memory bank and pick out that one special song you both love. Whether it is rhumba, rock, instrumental, mugithi or ohangla, go for it and enjoy your day.
De-clutter: For a beautiful backdrop in your bedroom, get rid of the clutter. Who wants to walk into a bedroom filled with items placed randomly? An organised bedroom is perfect. Use the space under your bed and behind the curtains to store stuff that make your room look messy.
Hints of red: Introduce some red in a subtle fashion. A throw cushion, pillow cases in silk or red curtains will do. Red is a colour of passion and romance. You could also bring in some heart shaped décor accessories.
Touch of luxury: Your bedroom should be full of fabric that evokes lavishness. Satin and silk bedding are popular here. If you can afford it, go for them.
You could also go all white on the bedding and get 100 per cent cotton, white bed sheets to pamper your senses.Re-invent your bed: How about you switch to the four canopy bed if you don’t already have one? They have removable tops that easily allow you to switch back to normal bed.
Think simplicity; the best ideas are always the simplest. Happy Valentine’s Day.
