Before you start decorating, do the basics like a thorough cleaning, create the atmosphere with lighting, place candles in all strategic positions, change the cotton bedspreads for silk, satin or satin. Swap the heavy curtains for sheer and lace – there’s something eternally romantic about loose curtains. Deep cleaning involves cleaning the sofa, bedspreads, and mattresses with a vacuum cleaner. The idea is to get a dust-free home. And sofas, bedspreads, and mattresses collect dust that isn’t visible to the naked eye. Get rid of cobwebs, dust and vacuum the walls too.

After you’ve cleaned, set the mood with lighting. Turn off all the hard lights and turn on your table lamps, or floor lamps not only add to the cozy feeling you’re trying to create, they look really cool. You can opt for paper or stained glass lampshades. The choice is entirely yours.

Once you are done with that, now change the bedding in all rooms to silk or satin, you can also go for satin. To add more romance to your bedroom, you can opt for lace bedspreads. So you’ve taken care of the basics, now move on to the actual decor.
