Boost your sex life by decorating your bedroom like this
Our bedroom is the most intimate space in our entire house. It’s the place where the magic happens (I’m putting myself in the corner for this remark), where we sleep and where we can truly be ourselves. It’s also a place we often neglect, since you spend 90 percent of the time with your eyes closed anyway. Killing for your sex life, says intimacy coordinator Sydney Cox. It’s time to give your sex life a big, romantic boost by the way you decorate your bedroom. Let’s get it onnnn!
Dim the lights
Nothing screams ‘sexless and uninviting’ louder than bright fluorescent lighting. Personally, such a lighting plan always makes me think of a shady kebab stand at four in the morning, and I don’t even want to think about what you can see under such an all-revealing lamp on the ceiling. So dim those lights. Opt for warm light with candles, salt lamps, or Christmas lights. Warm colors make you feel sexy and instantly put you in the right mood.
Clean up your room
Okay, I might sound like your mother now, and that’s the last person you want to think about while transforming your room into a romantic haven, but it’s true: a clean and tidy room boosts your sex life much more than leaving the laundry from three days ago lying in the corner. Messy bedrooms are associated with higher cortisol levels in the body and mind, which increases anxiety and stress – all feelings you don’t want when you’re in the mood for an evening full of intimacy.
Create a nice scent
Scent is crucial when it comes to romance and intimacy. Scents are closely linked to feelings and memories. Examples of common scents that evoke romance are saffron, ylang-ylang, rose, vanilla, and jasmine. Candles, incense, and oil diffusers are all perfect options to start experimenting with bedroom scents. Because scent is very personal, creating a specific scent association can help you relax and increase desire as soon as you enter your bedroom. For example, spray a little of his or her perfume in the room before you meet to ignite the desire.
Upgrade your bedding
One of the quickest ways to refresh your bedroom and add romance is by upgrading your bedding. Texture and color play a big role in psychology and influence our thoughts and choices more than we realize. Neutral and warm colors like red, orange, and skin tones can evoke feelings of excitement and passion, while cooler colors like blue and green promote calmness and relaxation. Want to boost your confidence and passion? Try pink or red. Choosing silk or satin sheets can also add that extra touch of excitement. The soft fabric quickly puts you in a sexy mindset.
Paint your walls
Not recommended if your partner is about to arrive in an hour, but a good idea if you have a bit more time. Certain colors on your walls also play a crucial role in igniting desires. If you want your room to feel sexy, try a deep color like plum or navy blue. If you want your room to feel dreamy, try a lighter shade like pink or light blue. Feeling adventurous? Go for a black accent wall. This could be just the sexy, bold change you need. The color black screams luxury and can make a space incredibly romantic.
Away with those phones
Make your bedroom a phone-free zone. This way, you can connect on a deeper level without worrying about your responsibilities outside the bedroom, which are of course the biggest mood killers ever. It not only forces you to focus on connecting with your partner, but it also creates a safe space to discuss fantasies and let go completely.
