Your bedroom should be your personal sanctuary, somewhere to relax and express your feelings. So clear away the clutter, the kids toys and the dirty linen and lets think romance, relaxation and warmth.
The Bed
The bed is the focus of any bedroom, and to make it truly romantic you need to make it as cosy as possible. Beautiful bedding and plumped up pillows will look and feel wonderful. Plenty of cushions create a really luxurious feel. Try different textures for best effect – faux fur, suede, silk etc. And if you really want to go to town consider draping voile over the headboard.

Ambiance
Soft lighting will enhance the mood, whilst bright lights can detract from the ambiance. For a lovely romantic evening or special occasion, nothing adds romance like the warm glow of candles (make sure candles are never left unattended) and the aroma of essential oils.
Colour Choice
When you think of romance you think of pinks and reds, but do you particularly want these colours for your bedroom? Many people are concerned about colour and want something a little more neutral, in this case look at soft neutrals for the walls, and add a dash of red or bright blue in a throw or cushion, or perhaps in the candles. Layers of gold or chocolate can look amazing and bring the room to life.
If you want a bit of drama in the bedroom then look at adding deep reds, rich blues or greens but use in moderation. You don't want the look to be overpowering.
