Valentine’s Day is just a couple of days away now and before you know it, the big day will be at your doorstep. Of course, there are those among us who feel that every day is a celebration of love. We completely agree. But why miss out on another special opportunity that allows you to rekindle your passionate love? It is the perfect opportunity to take a break from the mundane and let flames fly one more time. And what better place for this to happen than a dreamy, romantically designed bedroom
There are plenty of ways to do this on a budget and still turn out magical. Here are a few simple decorating tips that transform the ambiance of the bedroom and set the mood not just for Valentine’s Day, but any special occasion that you wish to share with that special person…
Lights sets the tone
Switch from functional lighting to dim, recessed lights. Lighting plays arguably the most important role in determining the mood of a room and the vibe it exudes. If your bedroom is not blessed with the technology of programmed lighting, then just take out the focused lighting and turn towards other options for soothing ambient illumination.
Go for scented candles
This is where candles take over. You may chose not to worry about dimming the lights and simple light candles which will set the right mood. When you are adding candles to the room, make sure you get the right scented candles. Fragrance is another great way to make the occasion far more enjoyable. Do stay away from overwhelming floral fragrances and go instead with a scent or perfume that brings back fond memories of those early dates you went on or the first time you met.

Background music
A hint of music in the air will surely make the moment even more special. Just as in the case of fragrance, this is another time when you dip into the memory bank and pick out that one special tune or song you love. Both fragrance and sound make the visual picture even more special.
Remove the clutter
This next tip doesn’t sound all that romantic, but removing the clutter that surrounds you is not only a prudent interior design tip for every occasion, it is particularly apt when trying to set a beautiful backdrop. No one wants to walk into a bedroom that’s filled with a whole lot of rubbish and decor that is placed in a random fashion. A well-organized room that only sports things you absolutely need is the perfect backdrop.
Purple and gold accents
While red is the popular choice, here are two other shades that fit in perfectly with the V-Day theme. Purple is the color of royalty, opulence and indulgence. Couple it with warm gold and you have a sensuous combination that will pave the way to an amazing night! Both colours are also trendy hues. So, this little bit of redecorating could well be persisted for a few more months after the big day. Instead of pondering repainting, just change the duvets, pillow covers and rug to opt for a more economically sensible makeover.
Luxuriate
Drape your bedroom in fabric that evokes lavishness and snug comfort. Both satin and silk bedding options are pretty popular in this regard. While they might be a touch expensive, you will soon realize that it is well worth the money. If you are not looking for such high-end sheets and pillow covers, then take the classic approach with white cotton. This is a bedroom look that simply never fails. The greater the thread count and more pure the cotton fabric, the more it will pamper your senses.
Play with rose petals
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a heart shape of luxurious red rose petals with a bottle of champagne in the middle. Show your loved one how much you care with a trail of red rose petals that leads to a frothy bubble bath.
