Your bedroom should be a haven from the rest of the house where you can truly relax, it should appeal to all senses inviting you to touch, smell and relax…a sensual bedroom.
Colors should appeal to the eye. Don't be afraid of rich colors, like: amethyst, ruby, sapphire and emerald green. A few accents of black also work well, since black is such a dramatic color.
Textures- mix a variety of soft, soothing fabrics. For example, mix flannel and silk sheets with velvet and corduroy pillows to create an inviting bed.
Accents of real or fake fur will beckon you or your guests to curl up in the room. Add a few fur throw pillows or drape a fur blanket across an armchair to make a cozy space.
Strategic Lighting - should not jolt the eyes or make the room overly bright. Small track lights pointing at specific areas of the room, recessed lights or decorative lights with built-in dimmers.
Scented Candles provide a soft, warm welcoming light, and give a slight smell that adds character to the room. Select candles with subtle smells like sandlewood, lilac, peach or lavender.
(Feel free to mix and match these subtle scents to create a distinct aroma that belongs exclusively to your bedroom. However, you don't want to use overbearing scents that will overwhelm the room.... )
