Instant Intimacy: How to Make Your Bedroom More Romantic
Retaining the romantic spark and intimacy in your relationship is no easy task, particularly once you have kids and they become the main priority. But romance is not only enjoyable – it is in fact essential for keeping your relationship healthy and fun. You’ll be surprised at the difference made by only a few small alterations to your bedroom.
Mood Lighting
Romance and intimacy are all about mood; not just the mood that you and your partner happen to be in on any given day, but also the mood you create in the bedroom to allow for romance. Perhaps more than any other decorative factor, lighting plays a primary role in the creation of atmosphere. Can you see yourself getting in the mood for love when the lighting in your bedroom is as stark and bright as the headlights of your 4×4? Most likely the answer is no. So think about low levels of light or dimmer switches. And to be honest, if you really want to bring out the intimacy and romance, use candles alone.
A Good Bed
Particularly if you have children, a rickety old bed that creaks at the slightest sign of passion is probably not the best choice. Not only will this draw attention to your supposedly private, intimate moments, but also, it isn’t ideal for building an atmosphere of romance. You’re not 21 anymore, and your bedroom certainly isn’t a cheap motel. So if your bed has seen better days, it’s time to invest in quality. A sturdy wooden bed frame (from Metal Beds Ltd or a similarly reputable company) will provide for years of pleasure and passion.
Calming Colours
The colour of your bedroom walls and the surrounding area can make or break the romantic potential of the room. Scarlet reds and black will most likely give your bedroom the undesirable feel of a brothel. On the other hand, too many brights colours will give you both the impression that it’s arts and crafts time. To create a space that is calm and comfortable – not cold or chaotic – go for simple and plain shades.
Keeping The Spark Alive
Every couple struggles to keep the romance in their relationship alive. But sometimes, getting back that intimacy and sensuality can really be helped along by the changes you make within the décor of your bedroom.
