It's Valentines Day and romance is all around. But how do you bring that romance into your home? It's not a certain style, type of fabric or piece of furniture that creates a romantic room- it's the way a room makes you feel, Veranda Editor-in-Chief, Clinton Smith, told CNN.com.

Romantic decorating elicits emotion Smith said, "As with a lover, a romantic space will definitely seduce you and often sweep you off your feet, or at the very least take your breath away."

But what makes a room take your breath away? The romance is in the details.

"A romantic room today is one that slowly reveals itself over time," said Smith. "It might not hit you immediately, but the longer you're in a room, you'll start picking up on little details that might not be really obvious at first glance."

And it's the little details that are most powerful.

"Never underestimate the power of $10 roses at the grocery store," Smith said. "It's those little things that really let the other person (someone you're in a relationship with or just a house guest) know that they're important."
