It should be fun to decorate your home—especially the master bedroom.  The master bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the home for any couple, and it should definitely inspire romance.  However, in many households, this room often ends up being neglected because people aren’t quite sure how to create a comfortable, yet intimate, décor.

Creating romantic décor in the master bedroom doesn’t need to be difficult, though.  Here are some easy steps to follow in order to design the bedroom of your dreams.

Get Rid of Clutter

In order for a bedroom to be romantic, there must not be any clutter.  No piles of clothing or magazines or toys anywhere.  You will need to get rid of all of the untidiness or else the room cannot become a retreat for rest and relaxation.

Speaking of rest and relaxation, many people equate think that watching television in bed is very relaxing.  It certainly can be; however, having a television in the master bedroom is not at all romantic.  If you must have a television in the room, keep it in an armoire so that it is only visible when it is being used.

Choose Color Wisely

Calm colors that are soothing to the eyes will be more romantic than bright, vivid colors.  Try painting the walls tan or a light shade of blue or green.  The colors for the rest of the room (including bedding and accessories, such as artwork and curtains) should be complementary to the wall color.  For example, if you choose blue for your walls, shades of brown would be good choices for other parts of the room.

Selecting a Bed

Of course, comfort is the most important factor in a bed.  But, it is also important for a bed to look inviting and comfortable.  This type of bed will naturally invite romance.  You should choose a fluffy down or down alternative comforter, for instance, rather than a thin bedspread.  Even if you simply fold it at the bottom of the bed over a set of silky soft sheets, it will look quite romantic.

Curtains and Walls

Sheer curtains can help to make a truly romantic bedroom.  You may want to use thicker curtains or a blind as well in order to block out light.  In any case, make sure to choose colors that compliment the bedding and walls.

Keep the wall decorations to a minimum.  You may want to hang a painting or two, or perhaps a small shelf.  Do not, however, hang family photos in a romantic bedroom; seeing pictures of the kids or of grandparents tends to extinguish any potential romance.

Bedroom Lighting

Candles can be used to keep the lights dim, of course.  However, a better and permanent idea is to install dimmers on the lights in the room.  In addition, use lower wattage light bulbs or bulbs with a soft pink hue.  Consider using textured lampshades on the lamps in the room as well; textured shades diffuse the light throughout the room, which is very flattering on the skin.
