As the weather turns chilly the need for warmer and more romantic rooms rise. If your room is plain, how do you go about adding a little extra spice? Here are a few ideas to help you in your decision to redecorate and create a sexy sensuous bedroom:

1)First, get everything up off the floor. Store the things that warrant it and trash the things that don’t. Clear off the surfaces of chests and tables, and only replace what is meaningful or pretty. You don’t want to see anything that reminds you of chores or obligations. Everything your eye lands on should make you feel relaxed and confident.

2) Overhead lighting is notoriously unflattering. There’s nothing sexy about a well-lit room. You want shadows, highlights, and the soft glow of filtered light.

Place lamps with ivory shades on each side of your bed, and make sure the bulbs are no more than 60 watts. For even more impact, replace the white bulbs with pink-tinted bulbs. Everybody looks good in this light — the only thing more flattering is candlelight, and pink light bulbs don’t pose a fire hazard.

3) Add scented candles. One that’s too floral may be off-putting. A better bet is one that smells fresh and clean. The flicker of candlelight will enhance your sexy lighting scheme.

4) Turn off the television! Better yet, remove it from the bedroom. The bedroom should be for two things only: sleep and sex.

Put a small stereo in your bedroom and play your favorite music — it’s a great mood enhancer. If you’re worried about being overheard by children or neighbors, add sound insulation. Hang curtains and roll out a thick rug — fabric absorbs sound.
