How to Decorate a Room Like a Romantic Getaway

Replace your current bedroom furniture with furniture that best suits the theme you've decided upon for a romantic getaway look. For instance, if you want an island-inspired romantic bedroom, teakwood furniture is an attractive choice. For a woodsy and sultry room, mahogany and redwood furniture is suitable.

Introduce decor basics such as curtains, doilies, lamps and rugs to suit your theme. For example, an island romance theme can include grass curtains for a bungalow feel and lamps made of carved wood. Throw rugs that complement your color scheme can accent your romantic getaway.

Replace your bedding with new, lush and luxurious bedding that one would expect to find in a posh romantic resort. Velvet, silk satin, fleece and other skin-stimulating fabrics are ideal for this task. Light airy colors lend to an exotic island look, which brightens your bedroom. You can also select dark tones of red, gold and others to create a sultry and dark sensual environment.

Introduce accessories to your room to add to the environment of a romantic getaway. A CD player with nature sounds playing on low volume serves as adequate accessory to a romantic getaway inspired room. Incense holders of various styles add to the look of your romantic bedroom, and the scents you use also add to the ambiance.
