Romantic Bedroom Ideas For Your Home

Creating a romantic bedroom isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about curating an intimate, warm, and inviting space that nurtures love - and a good night’s rest! It’s also a lot more than silk bedding and heart shaped beds, with the ‘ultimate’ intimate bedroom warm, sensual and inviting. 

Whether you’re looking for romantic bedroom ideas for couples, a vintage-inspired retreat, or cosy décor for a small space, we’ve put together our recommendations on how to let your love blossom in the boudoir!

What is the Best Colour for a Romantic Bedroom?

There’s no perfect colour for a passionate bedroom. Instead, the best colour for an amorous boudoir is either what you - or you and your partner - want it to be, creating a harmonious space you’re comfortable and happy in! Of course, there are several traditional colour schemes, such as the classic romantic hues of deep reds and soft pinks, which can be used to create a passionate atmosphere. 

However, other, less common colours can also help to set an intimate mood, such as luxurious purples, soothing navy blues or even earthy neutrals accompanied by strong accents, such as ruby red rugs or crimson blinds. 

Ultimately, the best colour choice for your boudoir will depend on personal preferences, but you can always bolster your options by layering a variety of shades and textures to enhance romantic appeal, or consider adding an accent wall. 

Setting the Mood: Romantic Bedroom Decorating Ideas

In addition to the colour of your room, you’ll want to consider thoughtful décor and accents. One of the best ways to add a sense of luxury and romance is through the addition of velvet accents, whether in the form of velvet curtains or shaggy, plush rugs that spark visual attention while adding textural highlights. 

Another great way to create interest in your bedroom is artwork. You should select designs that are meaningful and expressive, which will perfectly complement traditionally romantic accents like candles, throws and other means of improving the ambience. 

Romantic Vintage Bedroom Ideas

The first way you can do this is by opting for ornate and elegant furniture, such as a four-poster bed. This can be improved with the addition of a velvet headboard, with several of our fabrics the perfect way to upcycle your traditional wooden headboard. 

You might also want to consider the addition of antique-style mirrors, which can help to add character to the space, or mix and match floral bedding and decorative pillows to create a whimsical yet aesthetically pleasing, passionate space. 

Minimalist Romance

Strip back the colour, and you can still have a bedroom that exudes sensuality. Simply start with a pristine canvas of blank walls and white curtains, building up décor from there. 

Stencils are a great way to infuse love in a simple manner, with the addition of words like ‘love’ a great way to add to the mood. You can also improve the mood by selecting certain colours for prints, such as selecting trendy greys with a metallic finish to create a stylish atmosphere, or a crimson red for a fiery touch. 

Pink All The Way

If you want to ditch the typical red bedroom, for a sweeter, gentler aesthetic, pink is the one. From cheerful coral curtains to deeper shades of raspberry and magenta, these colours can be utilised to create pleasure and excitement. Our Cath Kidston bedding is the perfect way to add a mischievous yet kitsch atmosphere to the area, or select our Orla Kiely curtains for a more subtle look.

Creating a Warm and Cosy Bedroom

When creating your ideal romantic bedroom-scape, remember to consider your comfort in addition to aesthetics to create the perfect balance. 

This translates to layering textiles where appropriate, such as combining soft blankets, plush cushions and thick rugs. The addition of these products will help you create a space that combines luxury with sensuality, with products such as the Polar Rug in Ruby the perfect means of upscaling the room. 

You might also want to consider features such as mood lighting - dimmable lamps, lanterns or the addition of fairy lights, or consider the traditional addition of romantic features like candles. 

Natural elements, such as wooden furniture and fresh flowers, can also be added for the ultimate Feng Shui touch, while the addition of scented candles in aromas like vanilla and sandalwood can improve ambience.  

Romantic Bedroom Ideas for Small Rooms

It’s easy to create a sense of romance in larger rooms, as you have more space to play with. However, you can still turn a compact space into the ultimate romantic retreat - you just need to be smart with your design choices! 

The first thing you’ll want to do is consider strategically placing furniture in your room. Placing the bed in a position that makes the space feel better and positioning mirrors to reflect light are great ways to make the room appear larger. You might also consider multifunctional furniture, such as bedding with storage underneath, as this will allow you to more effectively capitalise on remaining space. 

Combine your furniture with soft and airy curtains to imbue a sense of flow, while soft neutral accents. such as white rugs, can further help to brighten and add depth to the space.
