If there was an obvious choice for creating a romantic room, it’s the bedroom. Romantic bedrooms lend themselves to romance for some obvious reasons and some not so obvious reasons. Let’s discuss the not so obvious.
Bedrooms are all about engaging the senses. Dimmed lighting can set the mood and make you see things in a dreamy way. Soft light from crystal pendants or lamps reflected through an ornate wall mirror can make things positively glisten and very romantic.
Touch is another sense that should not be overlooked. Sumptuous bedding, throws and pillows play another big role in making a room feel romantic. Inviting fabrics foster that tactile experience. That said, think about rich velvets for chairs and ottomans, natural fibers for sheets and duvets and small touches like beaded lamp shades which will delight all the senses.
Here are some of my favorite romantic decorative objects for the bedroom.
1. Romance novels might read even steamier if lit by this mercury glass fluted font table lamp.
2. I think an etched glass wall mirror like this would be elegant over a dresser or in a walk in closet.
3. I like the idea of hanging pendants as an option for bedside lights and the Wallingford brass and crystal chandelier is a great and romantic option.
4. Create a more romantic feel on your bed with glam pewter throw pillows like these.
5. This oval glass and nickel end table is a nice option to classic nightstands.
6. Create some shimmer in the bed or bath with this chic wall sconce by Feiss.
