Tips On Decorating With A Romantic Flourish

If you want to create a romantic style in home decoration , colours like white, pink, lavender and lilac are a must . There is no need to spend a fortune to get the right look but you do have to be careful when picking the colour scheme. Romantic decor, as we mentioned at the beginning, is based on colours such as white, pink, lavender and lilac but we can also incorporate light blue and cream. Mix these shades on walls, curtains, furniture and bed linen to create a harmonious ambiance but without it looking too fussy. When it comes to accessories another must-have item is scented candles. Happily there is a huge range to pick from in a bewildering array of aromas as well as colours, so even if you are just using the candle as a sort of ornament, it will be easy to get hold of a candle in the colour you want. If the aroma is also important you simply cannot go wrong with luxury brands like yankee candles or Voluspa candles. They are slightly more expensive than the items you will find in the supermarket but they are most definitely worth the extra expense . These are brands who devote almost as much time to the way their candles look as to the way they smell . In terms of freshening up your decor, they really have the "wow" factor, that will leave visitors to your home suitably impressed . Another way to produce a romantic style is to paint your furniture a light colour , for example white or pink, and add a personal touch to the room placing a vase of freshly cut flowers or some beautiful fragrant candles, as before. There should be dim lighting in this area and be careful when choosing fabrics. Bear in mind that romantic style fabrics should have some kind of pattern but nothing to blaze . A discreet flower pattern or thin stripe in the colours already mentioned is the ideal choice for curtains cushions and upholstery . A romantic style can also be fashioned by simple details including fancy, little, flowery boxes for keeping bits and pieces, scented candles,  attractive glass plates,  elegant mirrors and lots of different sized and shaped cushions on the bed, old-fashioned photo frames and picture frames will also help to create a romantic style. They can be silver or gold-plated and the best shape for them would be either oval or circular. In the bathroom, the romantic atmosphere can be created easily by adding pretty towels with lace trimmings. What about some aromatic oils to give off a beautiful fragrance or place a long slim vase with a single pink rose on the window sill? Don't go overboard as a fussy bathroom will look smaller than it actually is.
