Romantic Home InteriorHow to Create a Romantic Home Interior


A romantic home invites you to fall in love with the beauty of your surroundings. Hand-carved furnishings and elegant decor charm from every corner, and a calm color palette and plush seating appeal to the senses. When selecting romantic furniture, who better than the French to turn to for amorous inspiration? To build a backdrop for romance, choose hand-carved consoles, tables, and cabinets painted in whites and neutral tones to establish a calm, serene environment. Commonly known as shabby chic or French shabby, furnishings are heavily distressed to achieve a timeworn feel. Brimming with Old World character and elegance, French reproduction furniture is ideal for creating a romantic atmosphere.

In a romantic home, seating is also key. Seating options should be varied, plentiful, and always cozy. Choose pillows with different shapes, fabrics and embellishments to create both dimension and intrigue. Upholstered dining chairs with oversized cushions and armchairs with ottomans will inspire relaxation and romance.

Crystal chandeliers provide a touch of glamour and subtle, sparkling lighting. Intricately carved mirrors serve as elegant yet understated wall decor. Candlelight creates instant romance; place carved candleholders and vintage-inspired candelabras on top of a dining table or mantel. Inject passion colors in small doses by incorporating accent pieces with red and pink hues, such as a side table or chest with a painted floral motif.
