Suitable colors for the ultimate romantic bedding include:

cream / ivory / white
taupe
soft, blush pink
light grey

Best bedding for a romantic bedroom

Simple comforters and quilts are my picks for a romantic bedroom. They look effective when layered, are easy to wash, and often have a beautiful pattern and texture that creates a romantic and simple look.

This comforter set is a well-made, quality product. This image features the beige version, however there are several shades and patterns to choose from.

This quilt is reversible - taupe on one side and an ivory white on the other. It's on the more expensive side, but so worth it!

Velvet quilt bedding set

Featured here in taupe, this is a heavier weight coverlet in soft velvet, perfect for cooler weather. If you're not a fan of the taupe, it comes in seven other colors.

This blush pink comforter is a heavier weight suitable for cooler weather. Offset the pink with white and taupe as your other main colors.

This is a super soft, thick comforter in a traditional waffle weave. If you're searching for less feminine bedding which is still romantic, this would be one of my top picks.

Best pillows for a romantic bedroom

Once your bedding is sorted, it's important to think about pillows.

For a queen size bed, you'll need:

two euro pillows, 26 inches by 26 inches
two standard pillows, 26 inches by 20 inches
one throw pillow, 12 inches by 20 inches

Again, simple is best. Your quilt set will often come with the standard pillow set.

Purchase plain euro pillow covers in the same color as your bedding, with a subtle but elegant effect such as this one which is available from Amazon.

Finally a throw pillow (look for lumbar cushions, bolsters, textured accent cushion or accent cushions – they almost have as many names as patterns!), keeping to those key shades to complete the look.

This throw pillow has a velvet texture and a super cute pom pom trim.

This decorative pillow has a slight nautical theme. It would suit any of the more classic picks in comforters.

I love this pillow in Seafoam for a subtle pop of color - but is also comes in charcoal and ivory for more traditional color options.

Best throws for a romantic bedroom

To complete the look of your bed, just one more thing is needed – a throw or blanket.

Throws provide that textured, layered look that makes your bed look luxurious, welcoming, and of course, romantic!

Bearing in mind that a queen bed is 60 inches wide, make sure your throw is at least 70 inches, if not longer, so that it fits correctly when draped at the end of the bed. 90 inches is best.

This throw is handmade, with chunky vegan yarn. Wool this size is unfelted, which means it's better as an accent throw as opposed to actual use.

This cashmere throw is handmade in Nepal, and would make a sophisticated addition to any romantic bedroom.

Affordable romantic beds

As the bed is the largest piece of furniture in the room, it has the most impact on the look.

If you're wanting to take your romantic bedroom to the next level, consider investing in a bed that looks made for romance (and is super kind on your budget).

You'll love any of these stunning beds:

This affordable bed has a high quality frame with powder paint finish and steel slat support. And it also looks super cute!

Romantic bedroom lighting ideas

If the lighting in your bedroom is harsh, bright and totally not conducive to romance, you'll want to modify this through the use of various lighting accessories so you can achieve your romantic bedroom look.

Whether its using string lights, or table lamps, pick lighting that's soft and warm.

Warm white LED firefly string lights

10 feet of these firefly fairy lights strung around your bedroom or twisted into jars will create an instant romantic feel.

These LED string lights can be set to a timer. They're even waterproof, so suitable for outdoor use should you want to use them for more than one purpose.

Curved glass table lamp

If the teal of the previous lamp was a little too intense for you, you'll love the sutble blue glass featured here, which is perfectly complemented by the brushed nickel base. It also comes in a variety of other options sure to suit your romantic bedroom decor.

The smoky gray glass on a dark bronze base somehow manages to combine romance while still having a strong, masculine aesthetic.

Vintage inspired Dimmable bedside Lamp

Edison bulbs create a soft, warm aesthetic that's offset by the vintage inspired lamp base (note you do need to purchased the bulb separately). This is definitely a heavier look that would suit being paired with the bronze wrought iron bed above.

Romantic bedroom accessories

Finally, starting small is a good idea if the budget is limited and / or you feel overwhelmed with the scale of the transformation.

Even tiny features like candles or mirrors can make a big difference to a room.
