Things You'll Need:

- Fluffy bed pillows
- Lamps
- Scarves
- Heavy drapery
- Candles
- Fluffy duvet cover or comforter
-
Step 1
Make the bed. Choose muted colors rather than bright colors for your bedding. You want the room to be relaxing and romantic--not jarring. Good colors for a bedroom include dark maroon, beige, mauve, sage green and muted yellow. Fluffy bed pillows, comforters and throw pillows will create an enticing bed.
-
Step 2
Cover the windows in heavy draperies of one solid color. The color of the draperies should complement the bedding, but not be of the same pattern as the bedding--therefore solid colored draperies work best.
-
Step 3
Choose the lighting. Choose lamps with muted lampshades that complement the bedding and the draperies. Use bulbs that are a lower wattage than those you use in the rest of your home, as lower wattage lighting creates a more romantic atmosphere.
-
Step 4
Drape scarves over the lamps. This creates an even more subdued lighting situation that will complement the romantic theme of your bedroom.
-
Step 5
Place candles around the room. This will ensure a relaxed setting and add to the luxurious feel of the room.
