The best part of being part of a newly wed couple is that everything is new; your life, your relationship and in this case, your home and it's furniture. You'd have to say goodbye to the cozy room you had back with your parents and create a new room which you will now share with your spouse! So, instead of putting together general furniture, why not give it a good kick and add some romance to your bedroom?
You don't have to go all out and pay an excellent interior designer every penny you've got. Instead, work on it on your own and be creative. Get a queen or king size bed with a large headboard if you would like a wooden one or if you go with metal, choose something with a large and strong frame that has a headboard as well. Once again, you don't have to spend so much here, work with what you get and spruce up the details to give you that romantic energy.
White Metal Headboards
Pay close attention to your bedding and go for colors like white, gold, ivory, red, soft pinks and lilac. If you'd like something darker like brown or black, match it with some reds for that sexy touch. Next, think about the accessories for your bed. Of course you'd need pillows and a comforter or a quilt, but instead of going with the usual cotton ones, why not try a silky quilt that matches your bedspread as well? It not only gives your room that romantic feel, it also adds to your comfort in bed.
Once you've got the bed done, think about the additional features for your room. You would need a good bedside table for your belongings and such, so pick something that goes with the theme of your room. Don't forget curtains, railings and rugs add to the character of your room too. For curtain railings, try switching the old school metal ones for some sturdy wooden ones that are classier and with the right curtains, it can add to the romance of the room.
Good lighting is the key to setting the mood in any atmosphere, so don't only stop at your lamps but think about your ceiling light as well. You would need some practical lighting to read, get dressed and so on but add on some dim lights. To be cost effective, you could always use regular lightnings and get a dimmer to go with it or you could just go all out and replace night lights with candles instead!
Scented candles work best and they can relax you on your most stressful days as well. Throw in some of those and place them around your furniture but away from the bed for safety purposes. While we're on the topic of additional room details, add a vase of flowers to your room furniture or purchase some aromatherapy oils and light them when you feel like you could use some relaxing time.
Don't forget, a romantic room should always be kept tidy!
