A romantic ambiance can be a great aphrodisiac and it can be created with limited effort and expense with very worthwhile results. This type of environment can be created within a bedroom to create a very sexy romantic feel…
Because we absorb our surroundings through our five senses keep each of these senses in mind as you recreate your bedroom for a more romantic feel. The key is to create a feel within the room that is soft, inviting and a ‘place’ that you want to be.
1. Keep it clean …
This is common sense to some and completely foreign to others. It can be very distracting if the room is a mess. Tidy and de-clutter. I don’t mean hide it all under the bed; I mean clean it up. Not just for one night but forever. You
will be amazed at what effect this simple yet profound step can have. Once all the clutter, mismatched styled items and mess is out of the way you can feel like you can have a fresh start at defining the look and feel of the room as a whole.
2. Create adjustable mood lighting …
Lighting is key. This may mean to some that it is time to replace the fixtures within the room, but it can be as simple as some table or floor lamps. Dimmer switches are a must. Ideally, this should be accessible from the bed. It is important to choose lighting options that give a soft glow rather than harsh light. Candles are also a perfect light source. Creativity should be used in choosing the ideal candle holder to fit them in the ideal location for your particular room and furniture.
3. Our sense of smell is very much part of …
… how we define our surroundings and affects how much we enjoy the experience. It’s hard to enjoy yourself when you smell something you find offensive. Keep in mind strong perfumes are also not always enjoyed by all people. Candles, potpourri, fresh cut flowers and plug-in deodorizers are all excellent options to bring a sense of freshness into a room.
