How to Make Your Bedroom More Romantic

Now that we’re all spending more time at home, the comfort of our bedrooms, living rooms, and other cozy areas of the house, is becoming more important for our well-being. Your bedroom is an especially magical place, as it is the home of your most intimate moments, your beauty rest, and where you welcome each new day. Once you add special touches to make your bedroom more romantic, you’ll gain a new sense of relaxation and inspire yourself to love more deeply - whether it’s self-love or romantic love. Your surroundings play a major role in your mood. These are our 7 romantic bedroom ideas to welcome more love in your life:

1. Start with the bed.
The holy grail of the bedroom - your bed is where it all begins. We all have our preferences (soft, firm, cloud-like) for mattresses, so make sure the one that you sleep on each night makes you sigh every time you lie down. That, plus the perfect silk sheets (like this gorgeous 4-piece silk sheet set from Amazon), a beautiful duvet, soft pillows, and a grand headboard. Gather everything you need to make your bed ultra plush. Choose a color for your sheets that relaxes you or makes you feel sexy. End each night with a delicate spritz of natural fragrance on your pillow to help you drift off to sleep.

2. Add flowers.
Beautiful flowers are synonymous with romance. You can place fresh flowers on your nightstand to get the romantic look, plus the lovely natural fragrance. Or you can opt for flowers that you only have to buy once - a dried flower bouquet or faux silk roses.

3. Light candles.
We’re true lovers of candles, as they can make any room romantic. The dancing flame, the soft light, the warmth… luxury scented candles are the perfect addition to your bedroom. Our poetry candles add to the romance even more. And if you want candles to leave "burning" as you go to sleep, try these flameless candles on Amazon.

4. Create a haven.
This could be a canopy over your bed or hanging curtains around your chaise lounge where you spend hours lost in a good book.

5. Hang beautiful art.
Art can effortlessly evoke feelings of romance and sensuality. Anything from nude art paintings to abstract art with sensual colors. We're also loving this minimalist trend with two lovers.

6. Add vintage touches.
Even if you love having a modern space, sprinkling in a bit of vintage will instantly make your room more whimsical. A vintage trinket box for your beautiful earrings, a vintage-inspired chest of drawers, vintage books on a shelf, a beautiful work of art in a vintage frame… just a few touches.

7. Experiment with lighting.
Adding in light with a dimmer switch is a foolproof way to add romance to your bedroom. But if you want to try something new and exciting, go for Philips Hue Lightbulbs. These lights change to different colors, so you can easily switch to red for an erotic night, or a calming blue for intimate relaxation.
