  A romantic color scheme for your master bedroom creates a warm, inviting and intimate atmosphere. The right romantic color palette can transform your simple bedroom into a soothing retreat. When choosing a color scheme, consider factors like the size of the room and your personal design aesthetic to guarantee that you love your romantic bedroom for years to come.
  
  

Earth Tone Retreat

• Though earth tones are more generally associated with contemporary styles, the subdued hues of nature-inspired colors also create comforting spaces that promote intimacy and romance. For a romantic master bedroom, choose paler colors for the walls and add richness in color through fabrics.
  
  Cream, beige and muted olive green not only contribute to an earth tone scheme; they also add lightness to the room to make it appear larger. Incorporate darker color elements through suede or leather wall treatments, bedding or area rugs; deep browns and burgundy reds add color depth to the space while enhancing the romantic atmosphere. For a pop of color, include a cyan or teal vase or lamp bedside tables.
  
  

Seductive Spaces

• Aim for a classically romantic master bedroom with rich, dark colors that create a sense of seduction and privacy. Large rooms can support the saturation of deep red colors like maroon or rust; for smaller spaces, use lighter shades of red in the pink family or accent cream walls with a single red accent wall behind the bed. Pair deep red walls with dark wood furniture like mahogany or cherry; black wrought iron detailing is a romantic and classic complement to a red romantic space.
  
  To avoid creating a cave-like atmosphere, lighten up the space with cream or beige fabrics in luxurious materials. A sand colored microfiber bed spread or a faux fur asymmetrical area rug adds both a color complement and a textural element to a romantic bedroom.
  
  

Relaxed Romance

• Stress is one of the main inhibitors of romance, so create a master bedroom that promotes calmness and relaxation to promote intimacy. Cool tones for the walls create an open, airy space for unwinding; pale blue, crisp white and faded lavender walls are romantic, cool options.
  
  For more color variation, consider a broad striped wall paper with alternating stripes of white and very pale blue or purple; avoid any wall treatment that uses saturated cool colors or thin stripes that create a busy pattern. Maintain a cohesive color scheme through the room by including light wood or white painted furniture, white area rugs and sheer curtains.
