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. It’s not always the most romantic! But with a bit of planning and a few updates, you can create an intimate space that you love, whether you share your bedroom or not.
Looking for romance? 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 Bee Deco 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.

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. 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 romantic room. 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.

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.
While blush and rosy pinks are traditionally romantic, it doesn’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? Along with layers of textures and ambient lighting, it’ll be hard to resist.
