9 Tips For Designing a Bedroom Ripe For Romance
Turn your boudoir into an intimate sanctuary with these suggestions
A well-planned bedroom can be a mood changer. Little things like an inviting bed, soft colours on the wall or even dreamy lights can help celebrate amorous moments and connect with your partner. Here are ideas to bring a little passion and spark to your everyday nights.
2. Cover up with lush drapes
Lush drapes in velvet or satin bring in a touch of opulence and glamour, and can aid in conjuring up a romantic mood. They also restrict light. Blackout curtains help minimise external (and disrupting or distracting) noises.

3. Get the wall colour right
A survey conducted in the UK by Travelodge revealed that couples in bedrooms with a caramel decor scheme had the most sex – almost thrice a week! Alternatively, you can subtly introduce the colour through furnishings and accessories, too.

4. Of course, flowers!
Flowers sprinkled on the bed might seem like a cheesy Bollywood setting; also, when crushed, they leave stains on the sheet. Go for a good old bouquet arrangement in a vase – make a habit of it. Let this room exude freshness, lightness and a little bit of indulgence. a great recipe for romance.

5. Colour me red
From hearts to Valentine themes, the colour red is synonymous with romance. The designer here goes bold with different hues of red in the floral headboard, carpet and striped footbed. Not only does it give a sense of continuity but also creates an intimate and plush ambience.

6. Soft furnishings
Decorative patterns and soothing colours can give an elegant and an inviting touch to any bed. Here, the refreshing green wall is offset with subtle whites and mustard in the duvet and bedding, playing with different textures and patterns. The pastel striped green bed-sheet and pillows complete the look. A fun way to turn your bedroom into a romantic Thai- or Indonesian-style getaway.

7. Lights matter
The right lights can create a soothing and sensual ambience. See how the designer adorns the space with a luxurious chandelier. The spotlights above the headboard bring in depth to the room. Dimmer switches are a sensible addition to turn the illumination of the room from bright to dim instantly.

8. Put up your memories
Memories and mementoes celebrate the life you have built together. Re-live these moments by hanging pictures of your courtship, wedding or honeymoon on the walls. Fill this room with knick-knacks from your travels together. Perhaps the first furniture piece you bought as a team?
