The stress in our day to day should remind us to take a little time to nurture the romance in our lives. Don’t confine the romance in your life to just that one day, however. Create a romantic bedroom space! This can seem to be a daunting task if you’re on a tight budget. Never fear, here are some great ideas to punch up the sizzle in your bedroom (ok, I am just talking decor here, folks…) without leaving your bank account fried!

 

 

Romantic Bedroom Ideas & DIY Decor

Paint

Paint your room or just an accent wall, a rich, luxurious color to comfort and calm. A $20 can of paint can go far to upping the cozy factor in your bedroom! Hint: DON’T do this the day before a special day…or the smell will send any romance in the room right out the window! Photo by AVE Styles. Check out their master bedroom reveal.

Romantic Bedroom Ideas & Decor

 

Canopy Romance

Purchase several yards of a gauze or net fabric from your local fabric store, and make your own romantic canopy. Screw eye hooks into the ceiling at each corner of the bed, and draw the fabric through so that it drapes near the ground, overhead, then down again. Repeat on both sides of the bed. The same romance as a four poster, for just a few dollars! Or just add some romantic dust ruffles and shams! Photo from ‘HGTV‘.

 

Scent

Bring scent into your room with oils or candles. Try to pick a scent your spouse will enjoy also. Sandalwood, patchouli, and woody scents are all compatible for both sexes, and make a romantic bedroom a special space.

Add a few drops of your favorite perfume to your linens before making the bed…a sensual reminder of who inhabits it! (Remember, just a few drops, don’t overdo it!) Or make a DIY linen spray that becomes your signature scent. Try this easy how-to from ‘Clean & Scentsible‘.

 

Try Something New

Move things around! Just a new take on the room can give you both the feeling you are on vacation in some fabulous hotel…if only for a little while!

    We are redecorating our bedroom. I love the brown bedroom. What color was used for that bedroom and are the accents/furnishings white or cream? I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks

    I don’t know of any can of paint that costs $10 and will cover an entire bedroom. Could you please elaborate on that?

      Well you got me there… sort of! First of all, if you shop the “oops” paints like we do, you can find a can for $10. But that having been said, this article was written several years ago, and yes, it has gotten more expensive! Still, even for $20… quite a decorating bargain!

      Yes I remember Wal-Mart paint was around 12 or so…I get the “oops” paint too & if the colors aren’t perfect…you can mix them!

      Even shopping the oops paint section it will cost $50 or more to paint a room.

    Shabby Chic can be found at Target, but I had to order a discontinued fabric print from EBay. Shabby Chic has it’s original website from the designer but her bedding is out of my price range. I love the cool crispy Shabby Chic bedding from Target. It’s the same designer for half the cost. I don’t remember the designers name but the bedding is wonderful.

      The designer’s name is Rachel Ashwell. She also has a book on her work.

    Hi,

    I love the ideas here! We just bought our first home and I’m in charge of making our bedroom gorgeous with a touch of sexy. We currently have deep gray walls and the floor is dark wood. What colors can make this room look beautiful, livable and sexy all the same time? I’m debating between getting a white, gray or black bedroom set. I’m open to being colorful as well. I love navy and purple.

    Too many options so I really need help!
    Thank you!

      If the walls and floor are darker, I would definitely go for drama and make the bed pop with white! That can be very romantic,think fluffy white comforter (a comforter cover makes it easy to clean) and lot of white pillows… Would look gorg against those dark floors and gray walls! Don’t forget some texture for the sense of touch like a soft, fuzzy throw blanket, and perhaps a pop of metallic accent pieces on an end table… Hope that helps!

    How do you make the second canopy bed with rods hanging from the ceiling

    Reply
    1. Kathy Woodard September 8, 2016 at 1:53 pm

      We believe those are just rod pocket curtain rods, hung on the ceiling, then the fabric just has ribbon ties to hold them on.
