The bedroom is more than just the place where you sleep at night. It is also a palace of love, a lair of beauty and intimacy. When decorating this room, it’s important to remember to add a little passion to the space, which can be accomplished with just a few simple touches.
The easiest way to spice up a bedroom is with color. Drab tones such as white and gray tend to make a space feel dull and generic. You should instead try to use dramatic hues to give vigor and luster to the room. The deeper the color, the more exciting it is.
In addition to this, red tones are particularly good for spicing up the romance of a space. Red is a tone that causes an actual physical response in humans, increasing heart rate, raising metabolism, and sometimes even making you hungry. In the bedroom this can be a great way to add energy to what might otherwise be a boring space.
However this should be used with caution. If you have trouble sleeping, or are prone to night time snacking, red tones in the bedroom may actually create an environment that will feed your bad habits. If this is the case, having a spare set of sheets, pillow cases, and covers, can allow you to transform the space on special occasions, and then switch it back for day to day use.
Lighting is another important element for creating a romantic bedroom. Something as simple as a dimmer switch on your overhead light can give you the ability to change a space from a bright, active daytime area, into a soft, sensual, night time romantic spot. Mood lighting such as onyx lamps, and ambient fixtures, can all contribute to creating a more subdued, and relaxed atmosphere in this space, without leaving you totally in the dark.
Romance is all about creating an emotion. In bedroom decorating, it's about evoking an atmosphere that creates that emotion. This can be accomplished through the use of light and color, applied strategically throughout the space.
