turn your bedroom into an intimate retreat with these romantic bedroom ideas.
Your bedroom is a multi-purpose space. Not only is it where you sleep, but it’s also where you get ready, where you store clothes and where you read or maybe watch TV. It might even be where you study. With that being said, it can begin to lose that sense of romance sometimes. But with a bit of planning and a few updates, you can create an intimate space that you love this Valentine's Day, whether you share your bedroom or not.
Creating a romantic bedroom is all about getting the senses going. If you're looking for a love-filled mood, there’s nothing better than a candle or two (or more!) to add that gently flickering, cosy ambience to your bedroom. You can indulge another of your senses with candles too – scent. Look for ones with notes of rose, jasmine or florals, like our home fragrance range.
In any bedroom, the bed is the main attraction, but when you’re adding in a little romance? It has to be the star! Think fluffy pillows, a sumptuously soft duvet and some beautiful sheets. Try light pink, classic white or even a raunchy red. Don’t forget to layer up with throws and cushions. Crafting a luscious bedcape has never been easier, with our gorgeous cushions and throws designed to dazzle in stunning shades of blush, fuchsia, berry and clay.
Cushions are not only the ideal addition to create your own intimate space, but also make the perfect present for a loved one.

Create an intimate atmosphere with touch – whether you love a faux fur cushion or you prefer a waffle texture throw, there are lots of beautiful textures to choose from, including stunning boucle and lush velvet. Layering textures creates a cosy and warm feel, especially important during the colder months of the year. Pick the ones that appeal to you the most, this is your space after all.
Pink is the colour of love, so what better hue to choose for a romantic bedroom? Sweet shades of candy pink or soft blush are the perfect shades for a classically intimate bedroom, and it certainly doesn't have to be Barbie-esque to hit the pink memo. Berry hues and beiges blend seamlessly, creating a romantic bedroom through home decor. Add it in with pink cushions and bedding, or go all in and paint the walls in a pink you love.
The big light does not create a romantic mood. So along with your scented candles, you need table lamps and floor lamps to add a soft glow to your bedroom. Layered lighting means that you can get cosy with a partner or travel to faraway places in a book.

Turn your bedroom into a sensuous sanctuary away from the rest of your home with soft, lavish velvet. Historically, velvet has always been a symbol of luxury, making it a fantastic feature to have in your interior. Use it on your curtains or in decorative velvet cushions, even your bedding. Our quilted velvet bedding Palmeria in blush is the perfect romantic option.
Creating a private retreat for you and/or a loved is key to relaxation and romance. Make sure your bedroom window is kitted out with blackout blinds or curtains to cocoon yourselves and make it feel like there’s only the two of you in the whole wide world. Blackout blinds not only block out the outside world, but they're also great for improving sleep quality and retaining heat, making them a must-have for all bedrooms.

While blush and rosy pinks are traditionally romantic, they don't suit everyone. If dark and moody colours makes a space feel intimate for you, then why not paint a wall black, navy or gray purple? Deep, rich hues are known to excite, often creating a space that feels sultry and intimate. Unique cushions and throws in moody tones can create new dimensions to your boudoir - along with layers of textures and ambient lighting, it’ll be hard to resist.

A colour often associated with passion, red is warm and atmospheric. Whether you choose it as an accent colour or your main one, there are lots of ways to use it. Pair with white for a traditional take on romance, or with pink for a fun, youthful feel. The head-turning hue isn't so heavily associated with love for no reason - it was one of the earliest colours used by artists during the prehistoric period and has remained engraved in our history ever since.
France is the country of love, so why not bring it into your bedroom? A romantic French bedroom has soft hues, refined patterns and crisp white bedding. Add a little ornamentation through antique-style mirrors and accessories, experimenting with Parisian style is a must for intimate bedroom decor.
Is there anything less romantic than spotting the pile of washing out of the corner of your eye? Keep your bedroom feeling cosy by making sure that all traces of clutter and chores are banished. De-cluttering your bedroom could mean throwing out some less-than-needed belongings, organising your room using storage boxes or just a quick freshen up; if your bedroom is looking a tad overwhelming, you might want to take a page out of the minimalist home style book. You could even remove all screens to keep the focus on each other completely, turning to card games or reading instead of telly as you wind down.

Really amp up the romance with a bedroom feature wall. We’re talking pink and red hues, floral motifs and bird patterns. You even could go for tactile texture and opt for something embossed. Our beautiful feature wallpapers are designed in the UK by our talented team and are bound to add a touch of luxe to any space.
Pretty flowers have been associated with romance since the ancient Greek and Roman times. Choose blooms like red roses, tulips or chrysanthemums for the perfect bedside table flower bouquets or on-trend fluffy pampas grass that adds romance without colour. Or, if you'd rather your blossoms last a while longer, you can opt for floral designs on cushions, bedding and even wallpaper.
Forget grey days, evoke that holiday feeling instead. Think leafy prints, exotic animals and lots of greenery, transporting you to a Balinese jungle or any other tropical retreat. Take a look at our blog post on 5 ways to create a tropical paradise at home for more inspiration on how to bring our your wilder side.

Be dramatic and invest in your bed. Make it super romantic with a four poster style frame, a luxurious upholstered headboard or even just add a canopy to your existing one to add a cocoon-like feel to your bedroom.

Sticking to 100% cotton duvet sets will ensure the material is as breathable and soft as possible.
