Sourcebook: Romantic Style
Layer the look of love into your home with these resources for sweet and stylish furniture and accessories
Romantic style embraces the feminine side of design. Soft textures and colors, a little glimmer of light from candles and antique mirrors and, of course, florals all will add a romantic touch to your home. Whether you apply this to one room (might I suggest the bedroom?) or your whole home, you'll be feeling more romantic in no time.
