Fabulous furnishings!
First things first! In most cases, that means the placement of your bed. Because this is usually the largest piece of furniture, chances are that available wall space will somewhat limit your placement options. If at all possible, try not to place your bed so that it’s facing a window. Morning light waking you up every single day might be less than desirable. However, if your bed must face the window, all is not lost. Room darkening window treatments can screen out most of the light.
If a new bed is in your overall design plan, you have a myriad of choices. Platform, canopy, and sleigh beds will all tend to give your bedroom a romantic feel. Even more important than your choice of bed, is the bedding ensemble that will adorn this focal point piece in your new room.
Silks, tapestries, taffetas, and satins, Oh my!
The best possible way to give your newly redecorated bedroom the perfect romantic touch is going to be in your selections of fabrics to adorn both your bed and your windows. Nothing says romance more than the soft feel of willowy textured fabrics. So, pamper yourself with some of today’s hottest fabrics, and consider using them in creative even whimsical ways.
Bedding ensembles come in a variety of sizes, shapes and designs. From the uniquely custom designed outline quilted bedspreads, to the simple, yet luxurious duvet covers, your bedding should definitely take center stage in your room.
And no bedding ensemble is complete without multiple pillow shams, in several fabric coordinates, decorative pillows in unique sizes and shapes, and a coordinating dust ruffle. Remember your bed, and bedding ensemble will become the focal point of your new room. It needs to be beautiful and dramatic and take “center stage” in your room.
Incorporating a romantically designed window treatment, will also add to the overall feeling of your room. With endless possibilities available, you might consider framing your windows with a soft, billowy silky sheer, displayed on a decorative drapery rod. Or perhaps an overabundance of fabric in a softly draping swag and jabot treatment would give your windows a finishing touch. As in most bedrooms, multiple layer treatments are a must. Privacy and room darkening considerations must first be determined before you can incorporate a decorative window treatment plan. The photos below will provide inspiration for your new room.
