Your bedroom is your sanctuary and haven. It’s a place to get away from it all and leave everyday stresses behind. Couples who put a little extra effort into turning their bedroom into their personal love den, however, get even more than a peaceful getaway. These couples have found a way to put togetherness first and increase their bond with each other through inspired love play. You may not always be in the mood when you walk in the door after a long day, but one step into your passionate playground should go a long way toward stoking the fires of passion.Ready to bring sexy back to your bedroom? Now that you’ve defined your purpose, use these tips to put it into action!
The color of passion
Color is the easiest and quickest way to set the mood of a room. While there is a huge spectrum of colors to choose from, some have definite advantages and disadvantages. Red, for instance, is often identified as a color synonymous with sex and romance, but it also known for bringing out aggressive behaviors and thoughts. This tends to rule out the idea using red as a main color in the bedroom. You may want hot sex, but you still need to be able to sleep in the room. Purple, on the other hand, invokes an exotic, sensual feeling while still keeping the air of relaxation, making it a more favorable color choice.
This is not the place to scrimp on your budget. Get the highest quality thread-count sheets you can afford. If you’re buying new bedding, open the packaging to actually feel the blankets before purchasing. Sheets will always be a bit stiff before you wash them, but blankets should make you feel like you can’t wait another instant to snuggle up with your partner underneath them. Keep in mind your color choices and how easy it will be to take care of your bedding. If you have animals, that exotic, beaded bedding set may look nice for a few days until they get eaten off or need to be dry cleaned because of all the animal hair. Solid colors in your actual bedding provide the greatest ease for everyday maintenance. You can make up for the lack of pattern elsewhere in your room.
While they may get tossed on the floor during your love play, or even when you sleep, the look of a bed filled with pillows sends a clear message of invitation. When you get creative with textures, the invitation gets harder and harder to pass up. For even more fun, consider ordering (or making your own) specialized pillowcases with sexy messages on them to help set the tone.
Mood Setters
Flowers/Live Plants
Nothing says vitality like a thriving plant. Keep in mind your color scheme and pick flowers or plants accordingly. Roses, tulips and daisies are common romantic favorites.
Candles
When you think of romance, one of the first things that comes to mind is candlelight. Use this to your advantage in your den of love.
Romantic/Sensual Accents
Sensual photography, artwork, sculptures or collectibles are a great addition to any passionate bedroom. You might also want to set the tone with artwork from a particular location you both enjoy
Basket of Lovin’
Keep a secret basket, drawer or chest of your love toys handy and easily accessible. Things to include could include lotions, massage oils(My favorite is BodyBathWorks; Lavender and Vanilla~Sleep), scarves, toys and anything else you both like to use or try for your love play.
The Wardrobe of a Sex Goddess
Keep your lingerie in a prominent position in your closet. This creates two effects. One, it’s easy to use whenever the put strikes and two, it serves as a daily teaser for your lover.
In Conclusion
When picking out anything for your room, look at it’s texture and color and think about what it makes you feel. If it doesn’t feel right for your purpose, don’t use it in your room. This is your love den. Make it a place that works for you both.
