6 Steps to a Romantic Bedroom


Is your bedroom admired by both women AND men? It's fun to watch the facial expression of a man when he walks into a newly decorated bedroom that's stunning and not to "fru fru".  I remember a very enthusiastic comment from a pro football player "Our bedroom's AWESOME! Thank you!" Yes, even a masculine 6'7" football player can appreciate a room, if it's done right. Here are some suggestions.

1) Make sure it will be enticing for everyone involved. Let's face it, most men don't like a room full of floral fabrics.

2) Add soft lighting from various sources, table lamps, floor lamps, candles.

This contemporary bedroom has nice soft lighting that comes from different sources. 
Soft lighting can make or break the room. 

This designer room photo is from our web site. By substituting ultra suede & chenille solids (instead of the burgundy floral) the room becomes gender friendly.

3) Window treatments should be for function as well as looks. The photo below shows drapery panels in raw silk with a bronze border. They can be opened so they don't block any of the view, or closed for a rare day when you might get to sleep in!

4) The bed should be stunning. After all it's a BEDroom! It's normally the focal point of the room, if you have tall ceilings, get a nice tall headboard, the one in the photo below is 6' tall!

5) Add texture through fabrics - this Greensboro NC designer room has mohair, silk, velvet, chenille, and a fluffy rug.

6) Treat your bedroom as your private domain, hang the "do not disturb" sign and enjoy!
Silk fabric on this Greensboro NC designer room is a nice contrast to the
dull chenille on the custom bedding.
The same silk on the headboard makes a nice contrast band
at the bottom of these custom drapes
