Inspiring romance

Yearning for a soft space with a nostalgic Gone With The Wind feel? The kind of place depicted in romance novels? Think pink. Gentle and soothing, it’s the color of love. Encouraging feelings of compassion and understanding, pink can foster a special sense of togetherness between couples. In a pink environment you and your partner may feel especially connected – freer to open up and express yourselves.

Romantic pinks, such as Serene Journey, are poetic and sentimental. They’re the muted colors of flowers pressed into books as keepsakes. They delight the senses and soothe the soul. For this charming feel, try a calming mauve-pink, like New Day.

Painting your room this affectionate color can prompt you to leave your frustrations at the door. It also represents self-love and love for others. So your soft, sumptuous pink bedroom can be the perfect place for pampering yourself.

Uncertain you’ll be able to talk your hubby into pink? How about a deeper, more vibrant version – red? A shade like Rhythm of Red may increase body temperature and stimulate blood circulation. In fact, experiments show that red walls increase the temperature of a room making them ideal for pumping up the passion in the most private space of your home

The color green is known as the "great harmonizer." It brings a sense of balance and can promote a strengthened bond and a more emotionally satisfying relationship. Green shades, like Roof Top Garden, are comforting and easy to live with. Used often in shabby chic decors, laced with cream and pink, these colors remind us of romantic, rural countrysides.

Incorporate intimate pink, sultry red or embracing green into your design and fall in love with your bedroom all over again.
