Some of suggestions:
- Small bedrooms don’t have the luxury of a seating nook, so take advantage of footstools or chests at the foot of the bed.
- Add a mini-refrigerator for snacking on strawberries and chocolate or wine chilling, but hide it within a cabinet.
- Choose a chaise, slipper chair or simply floor pillows as your seating, and combine with a side table and fluffy rug. For extra romantic style, angle it near a fireplace or a window.
- Keep fresh flower clippings from the garden on your dresser.Doilies, though old-fashioned, reek of romance and serve as modern furniture protectors for clusters of pebbles and glittering rocks.
- Bring in fallen branches and display them au naturale, or dress them up with paint.
- A set of his and hers monogrammed robes and slippers hung just inside the master bathroom offer a good excuse to spend more time in the bubble bath — together.It’s not a monogram, but it’s definitely personal: With ribbon, hang a framed, DIY silhouette of yourself above the bed. Old-fashioned cameos are simple to make using a digital camera, a copier and black and white scrapbook paper. Etch a monogram on glass votives. When you light your candles, the glow will spread your initial to the walls. Let no texture go unseen — or unfelt — in your romantic bedroom. Choose soft fabrics like velvet and faux fur, and be sure to splurge on high thread count sheets. (How high should you go? Between 100-400.) A faux fur bolster at the foot of the bed and feathery pillows add extra comfort to this bedroom
- Cover your dated headboard with a monogrammed slipcover.
