Create a romantic bedroom for Valentine's Day


Add a chaise longue
A chaise longue is a sexy piece of furniture - fact! Why not pamper your partner on a chaise longue instead of the bed? And even if you don’t use the chaise longue it adds decadent style to a bedroom or lounge.


Hang fairy lights
Getting the ambience right is key to creating a romantic bedroom and fairy lights can do the trick, giving the room a touch of magic with twinkling lights.


Choose sheer curtains and fabrics
Sheer fabrics give a room a soft, inviting vibe and are a great alternative to expensive curtains, plus you can layer colours to accent your colour scheme.


Scatter boudoir cushions
A bed piled high with a variety of cushions can provide a sensual centre point for a room, and they don’t have to be matching; a mish-mash of shapes, styles and patterns looks great. Team with a sumptuous faux-fur bedspread for added luxury.


Treat your feet to a fur rug
If your budget doesn’t stretch to a deep-pile shag carpet a rug is a cheaper option, but a just-as-sexy alternative.


Sprinkle rose petals on the pillow
Why not add a touch of hotel honeymoon suite chic with rose petals scattered on the bed. Heighten your senses by placing vases of flowers around the room and chocolates on the pillows.


Add a glamorous screen
A screen is a great way to section-off a room and a fun way to tease your partner. It’s also a useful piece of furniture if you’re shy of getting undressed in front of your date.


Accessorise with tactile pieces
Tactile accessories add an unusual and inviting touch to a room. Fill vases with large coloured feathers, coloured twigs and silk flowers.


Light scented candles
Candlelight provides a super-sexy bedroom ambience, and scented candles can add an amorous aroma. Choose candles with ylang ylang, neroli and patchouli essential oils — all reputed aphrodisiacs!


Choose silk and satin bedsheets
Finally, and possibly most importantly, bed clothes are crucial. There’s no point romancing a room and then covering the bed with tatty sheets. Silk, satin and faux-fur are good choices.

Home Décor Tips for a Romantic Night In


Here's what you can do:

Set a Beautiful Bespoke Table:
Using the free space on your dinner table to complement the romantic atmosphere. By paying attention to the colour palette. Add touches of red for table linen and off-setting these with neutral crockery are a sophisticated and traditional colour palette. Or use more audacious schemes, mixing deep mauves and reds with touches of gold or silver bringing richness to the overall setting.

Play with Lights:
If your dimmer switch doesn't turn down all the way to 'romantic', play with candles. For a romantic table setting, use candelabras of varying heights to cast a golden glow. The candle light will also reflect on the glassware, which will bring the whole scheme together.

Set the Right Mood:
Creating a lush environment by filling a living space like a living room with throw pillows and art deco bowls willed with petals.

Sex Up the Bedroom:
Switching your regular light bulbs for those that cast a pink or amber glow. If that's too much, use coloured sheer cloth to create said pink glow by placing them over lamp shades. Get high thread count sheets for you bed.
