Many people envision their bedrooms as a romantic getaway within their home. To decorate your bedroom with a romantic flair takes some time and consideration, as you need to entice all five of your senses. It isn't enough just to put silk sheets on your bed and light some candles. To be truly romantic, your bedroom needs to be well thought out, appealing to both you and your partner.
Creating a Romantic Bed
If you're looking to create a romantic bedroom, you want your bed to be as inviting as possible. Remember to include luxurious sheets and blankets, plush pillows, and most importantly, a comfortable mattress. For the color scheme, choose calming colors like light blue, pink, and ivory, or jewel-toned colors like purple and emerald green. Avoid uncomfortable accents such as frilly lace, as they really do nothing to set the mood.
Finding the Perfect Romantic Lighting
Be sure to avoid harsh bright lights in the bedroom if you're going for a romantic feel. Rather, look for more of a soft filtered light for the room. You'll get a softer light if you use a light bulb that has a lower wattage. Another great tip is to use lamps instead of an overhead light fixture. Go for a very basic light fixture, or if you have the space, you might even consider installing a chandelier. Another great idea is to use decorative lamp shades, which will filter the light to another color such as light pink or a soft red.
Adding Romantic Accessories
For a romantic bedroom, one of the most important accessories you can add to give it ambience is candles. There are many different varieties to choose from. You might add floating candles that you can place in a glass vase or large pillar candles that sit on decorative plates or boxes. No matter the décor, you should be able to find a type and color of candles that fits your room.
Other accessories that will help you bedroom feel more romantic include flowers, canopy drapes, decorative mirrors, and framed artwork. One accessory you definitely do not need is a television, as there is no need for distractions in the bedroom.

Though I agree with the majority of this article, for the colour scheme of the walls, I personally, would have to go for more darker colours. Experimenting with this as a newly wed the darker wall colours were more romantic for us. Lighter colours are good but for us, they signified a comfortable and homely feel - which for us was not really romantic. It's a shame there's not more in photograph #1 because that looks like something that would be lovely. The darker wall colours, then everything gets slightly lighter with the low-watt red lamp and then the lightest thing in the room being the bed/carpets.
