Your most intimate moments take place in the bedroom. It’s time to spice it up with a come hither bedroom that you’ll both adore. These six essential elements will transform your boudoir from ho-hum boring to smoken’ hot!

Dress your room in a sensual color palette. What is a sensual color palette? Any colors that evoke feelings of romance and relaxation. This isn’t the living room. You can afford to be daring here. Find colors that spark your passion and use them! These colors will cocoon you and yours from the rest of the world.

Lush fabrics are essential to the romantic bed room. Luckily it’s the one room in the house where it’s O.K. to go over the top with luxury fabrics. This room doesn’t have to be kid friendly! Plush bedding is the obvious start. But if you really want to ‘wow’, you’ve got to think beyond the comforter and pillows. Use rich textural fabrics for your curtains and upholstered furniture too. Add inviting rugs for bare feet. Indulge yourself with cushy accent pillows and an ultra soft throw for your chairs and end of the bed benches.

Beautiful overhead lighting is great, but it’s the mood lighting that really sets the mood! If you aren’t lucky enough to have a fireplace in the master bedroom don’t despair. You can add a dimmer switch, strategically placed up lights, elegant night lights or a sultry light box. And don’t underestimate the timeless romance of candle light.

Music and romance are inseparable. Keep your favorite romantic albums close at hand. The right music at the right time, seduces the senses at the touch of a button!

For women, romance is all about feeling pampered. Beautiful surroundings evoke feeling of pleasure. Nothing says luxury like fine art. The richer looking, the better. Stick with your color palette and theme and go for art on canvas. Accentuate with gorgeous frames and art lights for a decadently rich look.

The biggest player in the room has got to be the bed. Big and bold wins. Start with the best mattress you can afford. Comfort scores in the bedroom! You can add to the plush factor with mattress pads and extra pillows. Consider adding more height to the bed with risers. Not only will it give your bed more substance, but it’s the perfect under bed storage opportunity! Canopies, commanding head boards, wall treatments, light and art can all be used effectively to highlight the bed.

The master bedroom is the place to get away from it all. It’s your private space to unwind and reacquaint yourself with your spouse. Now that you’ve got all the right elements in place, there’s no question your new sexy environment will spice up your night life. Enjoy!
