21st September 2010: Romantic Attachments


Set a romantic tone in your home

Modern romance is about using a little flirtatious charm in an interior with soft colours like plum, pale lemon and dusty pink.

Enhance the romantic mood with candles, arrange some fresh flowers on the coffee table, (simply pick them from the garden) and add floral cushions to a soft couch you can really sink into. Also, bring out the silver tea set, consider paining a feature wall in lilac, buy some shabby chic furniture from a market for an air of frivolity, layer a bed with pretty cotton linen… and there you have it.

The new romance is about making a space cosy and inviting. Once you've spent some time in a place with lush cushions and dappled light, you'll not want to go back to brutal minimalism anytime soon. Finally, if you have the time and cash, hunt around for a drop pendant, coloured glass vintage or reproduction chandelier which will give your home a talking point and add instant opulence. Guaranteed.
