How to Decorate Your Bedroom for Valentine’s Day

Posted on by

The key to making your bedroom sexy for Valentine’s Day is to do it up in the right colors. Pink, red and dark purple are the best colors to do to convey a sense of passion. You do not want too much pink in the bedroom unless you are a real girl’s girl and your husband like you for it. Stick with the red and the dark purple for a color scheme that pleases both sexes.

It is hard to go wrong if you use traditional red so decorate your bedroom with red roses, red orchids, dark red candles, heart shaped bed cushions and even heart shaped carpets if you have them.

You can automatically make a room romantic by using satin or silk sheets and satin and silk curtain covering. You can also drape fabric around the bedpost to make it look ice. Chiffon fabric or mosquito netting can be draped from the ceiling and tied with big red ribbons for a romantic effect.

If you have big heart shaped pillows, stuffed animals and shaggy or furry blankets are sure to put those on the bed as well.

Be sure to position mirrors in the room in a way so that they will reflect more softened light. Dimmer switch lighting can be adjusted to a seductive low setting so that things become more romantic.

Be sure to put fresh flowers in vases as well as make sure that the bedroom smells nice. There are all kinds of air fresheners out on the market that can help you accomplish this.

The more candles there are in the room the more romantic things will be in general. Get romantic scents like gardenia, jasmine and rose.

Did you know that there is more to life than Christmas trees? You can also make Valentine’s Day trees. These are merry little trees that are similar to the traditional holiday trees but instead of ornaments, you can put knicks and deor to do with love on it.

The first thing you might want to reimagine is the color of the tree. A pink or orange tree is right for this type of celebration. The more Barbie like and precious the tree is the better it will work out.

The tree can be big or small and be used as a table centerpiece. The more efficient you are about the design of it the more elegant it will look as well. Here are some idea for some themes –

• The white tree decorated with chocolate hearts wrapped in red foil.
• The white tree decorated in tiny white lights, crystals, pearls and tiny blue gift boxes.
• The red tree decorated with gold and silver hearts and a strand of pearls.
• The pink tree decorated with hearts in gold wrapped foil in different sizes.
• Any color of tree decorated entirely in Hershey’s chocolate kisses.

All trees look beautiful tied with ribbons. One very nice tree is an artificial pink tree tied with big pink and white ribbons and festooned with pink roses and orchids. Make sure you crown this tree with a beautiful big peony.

Of the arterial trees the ones made out of boas and feathers look the most ethereal and lovely.

Don’t forget you can find heart shaped lights in novelty stores to string around these trees as a garland.

Another cute idea, that is good for the environment is to recycle Valentine’s Day cards from the past and tie them to the tree.

You do not have to use a fir tree of some kind. The naked branches of a deciduous tree can look nice, especially if you paint them pink or silver. You can then hang silver beads or foil covered candies from the tree to give it some flair.

Some people make entire chocolate trees out of large molds that look like tree branches at this time of the year. White bark melted with strawberry or cinnamon accents make a love decoration that is also edible.

Not only are Valentine’s Day trees pretty they are a great way to recycle and make more use of any artificial trees you may have around.
