If romance is the order of the day in your bedroom then
there are a few areas that need addressing in order to create the desired
effect. Here are just a few ways you can turn your bedroom into a
passion-filled palace…
Get the right mood
lighting
Lighting is everything when it comes to creating a romantic
ambience, so you need to spend a bit of time getting this right. Obviously you
don’t want harsh, blinding light as that will kill the mood so go for softer
lighting. Installing a dimmer switch is a perfect way to achieve this as you
can fully control how bright it is. You could also use other lighting sources
such as fairy lights to drape around the room or even go for the ultimate mood
setter – candles! Candles are a really romantic option, although you do need to
be careful with them. Yankee Candles
are always a great choice and can help the room smell amazing too.
Update the décor
If you want to create a romantic setting then you need the
décor to go with it. Old, tattered wallpaper, for instance, isn’t going to give
the right impression. You should also think about the colours you use for your
interior decorating, using purples and reds to really get pulses racing. Areas
to think about include wallpaper, curtains, cushions, bedding, carpet, and
rugs. For example, www.onlinecurtainfabrics.com
has a great range of curtains that can really help to set the mood.
Give the place a tidy
This may be blindingly obvious but it’s worth mentioning. If
you’ve got clothes or dirty cups and dishes lying around the place then it can
really give the mood, especially if this is the first time a particular person
is visiting your bedroom. Give the place a bit of a tidy and a dust and it’ll
make a world of difference.
Music
A little music can go a long way but you need to be careful
with what you choose. Something soft and chilled out is likely to be much more
effective that some crazy heavy metal music; you don’t want to scare off
whoever you’re bringing back to your room (unless you know they happen to be a
fan of that kind of thing).
Get the heating right
This might seem like an arbitrary point but it can make all
the difference. If your bedroom has a tendency to be freezing cold then it can
literally bring the temperature down. However, you don’t want to make it too
warm either; sweating whilst you’re sat there having a chat isn’t exactly an
attractive quality.
Make the room smell
nice
We’ve already mentioned about how using candles can make the
room smell nice but there are other methods to help hide any unwanted odours in
the room. You can use incense or reed diffusers, such as these
from John Lewis, to give the room an attractive scent, whilst you can also
get sprays and plug-ins to intermittently give off a nice smell to fill the
room. Even just giving a few blasts of aftershave or perfume can really
help.
