Romantic Contemporary Interior Design Ideas

Colors

• Colors play a role in a person's emotions. While they may change according to personal preference, each color can invoke a psychological reaction. Reds are known to speed up the heart rate, creating a subtle energy. Yellow speaks of cheer and reminders of sunny days. Blues are creative, and greens are easy on the eyes, creating a calmer atmosphere in your space. Romantic colors depend on what you fancy, though the psychology behind them can lead you toward the mood you wish to invoke in your home.

Furniture

• Romantic looks can range from simple to complex. The lines of contemporary style lean toward simple and functional. Make the style romantic by keeping your furniture the same style and family. Accessorize your pieces with a few tasteful pillows and soft throws that invite a person to sit and stay a while. A few wood pieces mixed with upholstered pieces inspire this look.

Upholstery

• The upholstery you choose for your pieces will help to create a romantic ambiance in your home. Choose textures and fabrics that are inviting and comfortable. Having complementing and tempting coverings for your furniture, your window treatments and your accessories adds to the allure of the room.

Lighting

• The lighting for the room will be dictated by the space and navigated by the theme you choose. Lighting is important for creating a romantic feel to your space. Before you choose your lighting, note how the natural light hits the room throughout different points in the day. Make the most of the natural light with the artificial light.
