From USA to Middle East, from Europe to South America, from Russia to South Africa, from Australia to UK – the most important thing is to have the heart to celebrate and to love romantic surprises! That is what matters!
Have you every thought what is the most romantic place in a home? Is the living room, cellar, bathroom, dinner room, etc? Well, we thought a lot about this and finally we came to the conclusion that bedroom is the right place. We must admit that there was a real struggle between bedroom and bathroom, but then the first one prevailed. This is the most intimate, the most personal area in our homes, so you should think about its proper decoration for February 14th if you are planning to let somebody in.
We believe that the following Valentine’s Day ideas and advices will help you create a magical atmosphere in your bedroom, so here we go:
Lighting
This is one really effective way to spice up the atmosphere and light the fire of emotion. But be careful! You should try to keep the light soft.
Candles
They can evoke certain feelings of intimacy. They can provoke romance, they are sexy! Their calming fire take all the pressure down and break the ice of a strained relationship. The good think about candles is that they not only set the proper atmosphere near them but they are able to completely transform the entire room. We suggest that you place some candles in each corner of the bedroom and a few of them near the bed itself, on a beside table, for example.
Dimmer switch
If you want to surprise spontaneously your sweetie, you should think about such kind of switches. Imagine that you have a dinner at Valentine’s Day and then you ask him to come and see something in your bedroom. Then suddenly you become dimming the lights and … we leave the rest of the story to your imagination.
Mirros
Also, one should place mirrors in such a way that it will reflect the softened light. This will give more depth to your bedroom.
Placing mirrors on strategic places where they will be able to reflect the smooth light is a professional approach to making a romantic bedroom interior. Mirrors have one more advantage – they create a visual illusion of a larger in volume space. Now, imagine yourself splendid the romantic evening among endless horizon!
Window curtains
They are gorgeous because they do magic transformation of the place when it is up to creating a cozy home. Have in mind to find plush, alluring and dark curtains in case you live in the overcrowded urban areas where the light pollution is very intense. Agree with us that you’d better enjoy the candle light than the sneaking street light from outside.
Match them
Needless to say, when choosing the right window dressing you should think about blending it with the rest of the interior design in your bedroom.
Draperies or curtains
As written above use one of them in order to abstract the inner from the outer parts of your home. Thick draperies or curtains will not only prevent the interior from exterior light, but they will also keep the warmth and scent of the romantic bedroom setting.
Bedding
Well, this is probably the most important thing for the romantic Valentine’s evening. Why don’t you choose something really sexy for the special night? Why don’t you think of placing silk and satin fabrics on your bed? This way you will definitely achieve a cozy, sexy, romantic atmosphere full of tranquility that provokes intimacy.
Silk and satin
The materials used for the bed setting are also an essential part of the preparation. If you can’t afford the expensive silk and sating you can always use the substitute sateen. It can provide you with the desired cozy and luxurious effect that you may try to achieve.
The color of the bedding
Choosing the proper color is able to open every closed door in a relationship. On the other hand, you may decorate your bedroom in the most amazing way but if you forget to pay a special attention to the colors you can ruin the entire evening. A romantic touch can easily be achieved by using pearl, gold and bronze colors. They are symbol of matured desires that need a romantic ambiance. On contrary, red and pink interiors provoke the young, wild and unbridled passion in those who still feel the youth in their veins.
Interesting texture for bedding
The texture of the bedding is also an important part. Actually every little details is of utmost importance. You want to be perfect for the only day in the year devoted to love, right? Our professional designers suppose that if you want to get and soft and cozy look you can use velvet or velour. Make the comforters, blankets and pillows from this materials and we promise you that your love will be amazed. And when seen on candlelight, the spending reflections of velvet will make the atmosphere even more romantic and intimate.
Pillows
Sometimes old and vintage ideas look so gorgeous when introduced in a modern interior. If you love the old fashioned romance, you can make an experiment and try to put Euro sham, coverlet boudoir pillows. At least, you will achieve unique and extravagant interior for Valentine’s Day
Cut down the expenses
Buying expensive things doesn’t mean that you buy a taste or a certain style. In case you want to save some money from useless purchases, you can use your imagination and create your own bed setting. What you need to know is that mixing chic fabrics is a fantastic way to get an interesting look. And, on the other hand, your sweetie will love to be introduced in the girly world of yours.
