Basics For Romantic Bedrooms
Our idea of romantic bedrooms
depend upon our beliefs about romance overall. What generates images of
romance for some doesn't even light a spark for others, much less a fire.
This can be very true for two people who have been together for many
years.
Busy and demanding lives, jobs, schedules and endless deadlines have all
but minimized the notions of romantic bedrooms. Escalating personal
and professional demands leave us almost no time for dream-chasing. Clean
sheets are a given and a bed that's made earns high marks for sleeping,
but that's about all it rates.
But who has the desire for romantic bedrooms you wonder?
After all, making over a bedroom is a major project. It's time consuming,
and potentially costly and risky. You don't know if your spouse or partner
even cares or will even notice. If you don't know the answer to the
question, then it's probably time for a change.
Use these ideas for creating your romantic bedroom
1) Where to get decorating ideas - Sure, you may have to do a little
online research. But the Internet can yield plenty of ideas for creating
the perfect romantic bedroom. All major home décor
publications have their own web sites. You'll also find lots of pictures
and helpful articles written by interior design professionals.
2) How to avoid breaking the bank - The Internet is filled with lots of
shops that offer romantic bedrooms décor items at discount
prices. You can also save your $3 per gallon gasoline and visit more
online retailers in less time. Check out auction web sites and online
outlets for low-priced, high quality linens such as egyptian cotton
sheets. Many of these sites will often throw in free-shipping as well.
3) Keep your spouse or partner in mind - There are certain predictableed
risks with any aspect of an intimate relationship. But everything will be
fine if the romantic bedroom theme you choose express appreciation
and celebration of the unique bond that is shared. A caring and warm
environment will allow the bond to be strengthened on the spiritual,
emotional and physical levels.
Now, to really make your romantic bedroom be the inviting oasis
that you intended for your spouse or partner, use these can't miss ideas
to turn up the heat. In combination, they'll send a sensually effective
signal that your spouse or partner can't possibly miss. Prepare yourself
for an immediate response.
Boudoir Basics - romantic bedrooms that work
1) Shedding some light - romantic bedrooms lighting
While the electric lighting has its purpose, it can be a diminishing
element. Avoid fluorescents, which create a stark, business-like
environment. Use soft lighting in various colors. Decorative oil lamps or
antique lanterns also create a dreamy feel. Candles always offer
wonderfully subtle lighting in any style of romantic bedrooms
décor.
While tea candles will always work, use decorative candles that match your
décor or personal tastes.
2) Hints of romance - romantic bedrooms fragrances
Just as the oven's aroma sparks the appetite for food, the fragrance of
the bedroom stimulates our senses as well.
While bland foods are sufficient, the aromas of certain dishes create an
immediate craving. Not convinced? Stop by a local bakery first thing
tomorrow morning just for a cup of coffee. What happens? You leave with
coffee and the undeniably convicting evidence ... a plain white paper bag
filled with pleasure.
3) Perfect topping - romantic bedrooms finishing touches
Security is a residual component of developing and sharing an intimate
relationship. This natural progress of the
relationship can be advanced by creating a definite confine or boundary
signifying its importance. A canopy transforms a bed from a piece of
furniture into a sanctuary perpetuating closeness and intimacy.
