No Electronics Allowed
Keep your bedroom a bedroom. It’s not an office! If you want romance to prevail, then no work is allowed, unless it is romantic work! That means no laptop, and no cell phone!
No TV? Romantic Movie Night!
Is there an exception to the NO electronics? I know a lot of people keep TV’s in their bedroom, so if you must, reserve the TV for the ultimate romantic movie just before lights out. Other than that, keep a cover over the screen. You might be conveying the message, “Go ahead and choose the game over me!”

Soft Light
You may need to keep your ceiling light, but a soft, romantic glow is perfect to entice a love affair with your man! So turn off the bright overhead light and switch on the romance... by lighting candles... (see below!)
Candles Are a Great Addition
Candles add a soft glow to any room, but they are especially nice in the bedroom. Scented candles are charming, but make sure the scent is agreeable with your partner. He may think flower smells are disgusting.

Romantic Paint and Décor
He may not want pink, or flowers strown about everywhere, but keep the atmosphere peaceful, clean, and appealing. Any color combination can work. The key to romance is a neat, de-cluttered, and orderly appearance. No dirty laundry, stacks of books, or piles of unmated socks allowed!
No Work Area
If at all possible, keep your office out of the bedroom. Your mind will linger on things left undone, bills to pay, work for tomorrow… It’s a very romantic thought to walk into your bedroom and only have one thing on your mind – HIM!
