Practical Tips Turn Your Bedroom into a Love Nest
A romantic bedroom should please all of the senses. The current trend in bedroom furnishings is leaning away from the standard set of a bed, two nightstands and a few dressers all of the same artistry and collection, towards a more romanced and eclectic combination of pieces to create a personal refuge or escape. Bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping anymore. With larger master suites being built in today’s homes, bedrooms have evolved into comfortable getaways for people to relax and unwind from their hectic schedules. The extra square place leaves room for many decorating possibilities in this personal retreat. This season’s eclectic blend of sleek, contemporary styles and opulent, classic details are combined to create the perfect romantic escape. The function of any bedroom is first and foremost to provide a restful environment for sleeping. Be careful about any annoying or displeasing in a bedroom, even if you’re using the most modern style of design.
To enhance intimacy and comfort, the tips and advice on how to transform your bedroom into a love nest that appeals to each of your five senses.
1. Touch. The bed is the focus point of any bedroom and the most romantic rooms make it as cozy as possible. Luxurious sheets and plush pillows are wonderful, but the real key is a comfortable mattress, so make sure to have one that feels heavenly and caresses both you and your partner.
2. Sight. Lighting should be dedicated and filtered; bright lights can detract from the ambience. Use lower wattage light bulbs or those with a soft pink hue. And, for special evenings, nothing adds romance like the warm glow of candles (be sure that lit candles are never left unattended).
3. Smell. Gently wiping your light bulbs with a coat of perfumed oil can send calming or sensual scents throughout the bedroom. In addition, sprinkling dusting powder on your sheets can make them fragrant and silky. Scented sachets of lavender and rosemary also add to the air of romance.
4. Sound. Keep your favorite CDs at your fingertips; soft, romantic music is one of the easiest ways to elevate your mood. If it’s noisy outside your bedroom window, hang thick curtains to muffle the sound. A peaceful bedroom retreat is the place to focus on each other, so keep distractions such as the television in another room.
5. Taste. For a late-night gala time, place strawberries and whipped cream on a small tray next to the bed. Champagne and champagne glasses also are ideal at the start of a romantic evening at home.
“Evaluate your bedroom, starting with the sense of touch, making sure your bed and mattress are as pleasurable as possible. Then, consider the rest of the senses. Because a romantic bedroom can set the mood for the evening, don’t risk having an uncomfortable bed or a noisy bedroom destroy the moment.
