You are tired of your ordinary boring bedroom? You feel like you are lacking something? You want something special, something out of this world? Why not plunge into the romantic atmosphere of the Renaissance?
Basically adding a romantic look to your bedroom is easier than making an avant-garde styled room in the best traditions of post modernism, with large colorful geometric figures on the walls and ceilings and other flashy details. However, romantic style is something more than just lace and frilly frou-frous scattered and hung all around. Make your personal fantasies come true by creating a gorgeous romantic bedroom reminding of Napoleon and Josephine’s luxury suits. Moreover, romantic elements will always be classic and in.
All you need to create a sophisticated boudoir is attention to details, sumptuous fabrics, soothing colors, rich woods and classic lines in furniture.
First of all, try to make the most of your window. Play up the natural view out of your window with fascinating window frames of unusual shapes, use multi-paned framing or make diamond or glass insets. As for the curtains, give preference to full-length ones to add depth and fullness to the room. For more demanding and well-off dwellers, various architectural elements such as columns, moldings and other massive ornamentations would be perfect solutions infusing real classic style and tradition.
Pay particular attention to flattering colors and details. Focus on using softening pale, ice-cream, yellow, peach or sage colors. Rich oriental carpets will add class and heritage to your bedroom décor.
The most mandatory element in your future romantic bedroom is of course furniture, classic and exquisite. Magnificent beds with padded headboards, bolstered seating areas with plenty of silk or satin cushions, petite daybeds to enjoy afternoon doze will remind you of the Rococo period. You could also consider pleating a ceiling, having fabric walls or draping a bed. Choose classical patterns such as peacock feathers, wings of the dragonfly, large roses or small bouquets of forget-me-nots. Keep your eyes open for the flowers!
Do not forget to pay special attention to the lighting. A simple solution is to use gentle pink light bulbs with complimentary illumination. A standard lamp or fireplace would also perfectly fit into the atmosphere.
And finally, it’s high time to think about finer details and other luxurious adornments. Ornate mirrors, delicate pottery, vases, tapestries and paintings add weight and traditional classic elements into the décor. You can even use gilt to cover sconces or candleholders to create a truly chic image. Furthermore, indulge into the world of poetry and music! Fill in some space on the shelves or dressers with small books of poems, or put a sheet of music in a frame as if Mozart himself penned it.
Invest a bit of patience, creativity and show a genuine love for classic style – and you will be reveling in the romantic atmosphere of your bedroom for the years to come.
