Simple Ways To Decorate Your Bedroom For A Romantic Night

To set the mood even further, swap out your regular bulbs for colored bulbs. Red and purple light build feelings of love, romance, and intimacy. Extend your soft lighting into the bathroom as well—there’s nothing like that bright overhead bathroom light to put a damper on the mood! Plug in a small lamp to provide enough light while still keeping things mellow.

Keep candles towards the perimeter of the room and make sure they’re on a stable surface, especially if you have open flames. If you’re using scented candles, make sure the scents complement each other (like sandalwood and rose) and you don’t have more than one or two—you don’t want them to be overpowering.

If an open flame makes you nervous, put a couple of drops of essential oil in a vaporizer instead.

If your partner loves flowers, add a few long-stem roses for an extra dramatic touch. You might set them in a vase beside the bed or lay them on the pillows—just be careful of the thorns!

Hang curtains or even sheets from the ceiling for another option. Drape the fabric loosely so that it billows around the bed. Add layers of drapes to your windows to create a more romantic scene.

Throw blankets are a great way to add texture as well—try one in faux fur or velvet.

Put your largest pillows in the back to anchor your display. Then gradually work out to the smallest pillows in front.

Strawberries and chocolate are other sexy treats you can have available if you think you and your partner are going to get the munchies. Besides, playing around with chocolate syrup can be a lot of fun.

Why not give your partner a massage with a special massage oil? It’s a great way to start a romantic evening.

Place a mirror facing the bed if you’re not shy—many couples find it sexy to watch themselves in the mirror.

Keep the volume low enough that the music is just noticeable. If you’re using the speakers on your phone, make sure you turn off notifications so you don’t get interrupted!
