Home upgrades are fun ways for individuals to add a personal touch to their home, which can vary based on a person’s style needs and preferences. At some point, however, we all long for a little bit of a romantic atmosphere within our home. From warm color options to simple accessories, check out these tips on how to add a little romance to your home decor.
- Roses are Red: With so many color options to choose from, it should be no surprise that one of the easiest ways to achieve the ideal mood and tone for your home is through a color scheme update! If you’re looking to build on a romantic setting in just one room, the expert Flower Mound painters recommend a simple upgrade to the color of your walls. Combine warm reds, soft pinks, and deep neutral beiges to enhance the atmosphere in the best way possible. Paint an entire room deep red to add warmth and comfort, or add in an accent wall to a dark beige color scheme for a fun pop of color that will make your heart flutter. Lighter colors, such as pinks and whites, can be added in as accents or within the furniture, such as through pillows or bedding.
- Accent Your Heart Out: Accents are the most universal way to liven up any space. In the case of turning your room or home into a romantic getaway, the accents you choose must match this aesthetic. Sticking with the warm red, light pink and deep beige color scheme, look for accents that enhance this palette. Blankets and throws are a comfortable choice and, with the right material, provide a relaxing, snuggly option for watching a movie or reading a book. In addition, accents that offer an uplifting feeling to your sense of smell, such as candles or diffusers, will tie everything together from the moment you walk through the door. Scents such as lavender and jasmine are perfect for those relaxing thoughts and feelings after a long day.
- Wooden Details: When you think ‘romantic’, the idea of wood doesn’t come directly to mind. However, worn wooden details will add an unexpected romantic touch to any home design. Find a chair with a carved wood back and add a whitewashed finish to achieve the worn look, which will be a conversation piece as well as a beautiful ‘antique’ looking seating option. Find antique wood pieces at thrift shops or yard sales that you can give new life to throughout your home design. Often, these types of furnishings are unique, amplifying their romantic qualities.
Adding a romantic touch to your home doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. By finding a beautiful color option, including warm accessories, and customizing pieces to offer a more rustic look, you can turn your home into the romantic getaway you’ve been dreaming of!
