Spring is the perfect time for romantic color palettes. The lighter the color palette the more achievable this look can be for Spring. You can stick to stock hues, neutral tones such as white and eggshell, blush pink, ivory, or soft gray for a timeless feel.

Whether or not you want to take this color palette into your approach is totally up to you. You may figure out that some ruffles look better with darker colors if that fits your style more. This is just the standard suggestion to achieve a romantic and elegant look. You can incorporate pastels like lavender, baby blue, or sage green ruffles for a whimsical, airy touch.

The Key to Getting The Perfect Color Combo:

• Consider monochromatic shades with slight variations in tone for a sophisticated, layered effect. Layers can really add texture to your look in a positive way.

• By adding layers of ruffles you can make a room that feels as though it needs to be filled out, feel like the space has been taken up.

• Since being in school as a designer I feel like one thing that has helped me decide color combinations is getting to know the color wheel. 

To feel the most luxurious it is really important to note the order in which you layer your bed spread. Usually, the classic bed sheet and blanket cover seems to do it. In this case, we want to achieve the princess feel so that involves really getting in touch with our love for ruffles.

If you have a bedframe that you want to cover up this might be a perfect way to get the most out of something you already have at home. Without having to buy a new bed frame to match the new aesthetic.

• Start with a ruffle bed skirt to create a graceful base. This is like the shoes of any outfit. If you do not have the right shoes, you can forget about the perfect outfit all together.

• Use a duvet with ruffles or comforter as the main piece, ensuring it complements the bed skirt. Introduce smooth satin pillowcases or crisp linen sheets to contrast the voluminous ruffles.

• Layer shams with ruffles accent, throw pillows, and a soft knit or faux fur blanket for depth and texture. Texture is your best friend. Balance the softness of ruffles with structured elements like tufted headboards or wooden bed frames.

• Incorporate decorative accents like velvet or lace-trimmed cushions to enhance the romantic aesthetic.

Depending on the season you are looking to achieve this look, there are a number of ways to go about it. That is if you are trying to stay in the season’s fashion. In the Spring or Summer, you can opt for lightweight ruffles and covers in airy fabrics like linen or cotton. In the Fall or Winter, you can layer with plush blankets, faux fur throws, and heavier duvets with ruffles for warmth. 

For a look you can keep year round, also a more affordable option so you won’t have to buy new sheets for every season. You can swap out decorative pillows with ruffles or throws seasonally for a fresh, updated look.

Decor Styles to Keep in Mind:

• Modern Romantic: Keep walls minimal and incorporate metallic accents for a chic contrast. Keep in mind color palettes like soft pinks and neutral colors.

• Vintage Chic: Pair ruffles with floral wallpaper, antique frames, and distressed wood furniture. You might really like the options on the Ever Lasting Website, everything from French vintage flowers to old-school vintage.

• Bohemian Elegance: Add woven wall hangings, woven baskets, and plant life for a relaxed, layered look. Plants can be a nice touch that brings a breath of fresh air to any room. 

Bringing small touches to a big scaled room can become challenging. Especially if you plan for things to stand out in your room. To complete this sophisticated look to any room you cannot finish without adding these accessories.

Ruffles are such a bold statement on their own but you can never add too many accessories to a room. You can achieve this look on a budget so that you do not have to break the bank to create the romantic room of your dreams. Look for sales at home décor stores or shop online for affordable options with ruffles and pastel colors. Mix high-end pieces of ruffles with budget-friendly plain bedding to create a balanced, elegant style.

Complete Your Elegant Room:

• Use floral or lace-trimmed curtains to enhance the room’s femininity. There are plenty of ruffles with lace options in most home decor stores. You can even consider DIY pillowcases with ruffles or bed skirts using fabric and sewing techniques to save money.

• Incorporate vintage-style bedside tables with delicate carvings for an old-world charm. Vintage ruffles can be right up your alley, and it is probably an option you can consider thrifting.

• Who doesn’t love a cozy rug that you can sink your piggies into? Finish the look with soft, plush area rugs in neutral or pastel tones for added warmth and coziness.
