  1. Low light in warm tones creates a feeling of privacy and intimacy. Place your lights along the outside walls of the room to enhance the relaxed feeling of the room. Fairy lights are another inexpensive option for low light.
    • 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.

  1. Candles of different heights and colors create more texture and ambiance. If you're buying candles specifically for the occasion, go for LED candles—they're safer and more economical since you can use them over and over.[1]
    • 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.

Tips

  • Make sure you clean and dust your bedroom before you get started decorating![9] Remove anything that isn't related to your romantic evening—you can always put it back later if you need to.
  • Use romantic colors, such as reds, purples, and pinks, to communicate love and romance. Warm colors generally invoke comfort and warmth, so they work great to promote intimacy.[10]
  • Into feng shui? Place everything in pairs to reinforce your unity as a couple. For example, if you're decorating with flowers, you could place a small vase with the same number of blooms on each bedside table.[11]
