Your Hotel Suite for Valentine's Day

Set the scene for Valentine’s Day! Here are some easy tips you can use to add romance in the design of your bedroom:

Lighting - Soft lighting is essential for a romantic mood. Candles are great for romance, just be extra careful near your flowing fabrics. Use light sources from all directions. Side table lamps soften lighting with lampshades. Or put your overhead lights on dimmers.

Colours - When you think of love, you probably think of red. Red does increase your heart rate, but a room that is all red can also make you feel agitated – not great feelings for igniting romance. So use red sparingly, as accents in the bedroom. The most romantic and soothing color is pink, but it’s probably the least preferred colour with men. Shades close to pink, like mauve or lavender, are nice compromises that evoke romantic feelings in both women and men. Soft blues with creams are very soothing and romantic, and because they slow your heart rate, they can help you get a great night’s sleep too!

Fabrics - Create the ultimate Four Seasons Hotel luxury with luxurious, sensual fabrics in rich textures like silk, satin, chenille, and linens. Make up your bed in high thread-count cotton sheets, a full, down-filled comforter, and piles of fluffy pillows. Cover your windows with neutral-coloured, sheer fabric panels that appear to be blowing in the breeze.

Entice all your senses - Set the perfect romantic mood with soft music, scented candles and fresh flowers. Or really spoil them with a romantic breakfast or treat in bed - a large bowl of plump strawberries and chocolate should do the trick!

The next time you think about adding more romance in your bedroom, do it through a little redecorating. Have fun with it!
