Your bedroom is the most used room in your home and therefore the most important. People spend around one-third of their lives in bed sleeping, reports a BBC Science article. Of course, there are other, more romantic uses for your bedroom; this may well be the reason you are looking to add a sensual style to your room. Sexing up a bedroom is easy and does not require you to redecorate. Instead, a mixture of common sense and the right accessories should achieve the sexy look you are after.
Instructions
1. Take the time to give your bedroom a good cleaning and tidying up. There is nothing relaxing or sexy about an untidy or dirty bedroom. Clearing up clutter, such as stray clothing and shoes, will make the world of difference. Vacuum the carpet a couple of times a week to keep your boudoir looking beautiful.
2. Treat yourself to some high-quality bed linen. Opt for top-quality cotton sheets, preferably with a 250 thread count or more, recommends a February 2011 Apartment Therapy article. Remove anything embarrassing from the top of the bed, such as cuddly toys, and replace them with grown-up throw cushions in colors that complement the room. Your bed is the room's centerpiece; make it look as attractive as possible.
3. A lamp on a bedside table can add just the right amount of light to a room.
Set the mood using lighting. Attach a dimmer switch to the room's main light or invest in a set of lamps for the option of low lighting. Candles are the obvious choice for romance and can add a sensual feel to a bedroom. Do not overdo the low lighting, however; dark and dingy is definitely not sexy.
4. Remove all distractions, including the television. Your bedroom should have two purposes only: sleeping and enjoying a little romance with . No television means that you and your partner have to concentrate on each other. If you cannot bear a bedroom without cable, conceal the television in a closet or armoire.
5. Spray a fragrance or room scent. Pumpkin and lavender are the most popular scents for getting people into a romantic mood, says a 2008 CNN Living article. If you want to avoid spraying scent, use potpourri or the more modern option of incense sticks. Use scent sparsely; a gentle aroma is much sexier than a heavy scent both you and your partner can taste as well as smell.
