BED PLACEMENT . This is a big one . Place your bed so that there ’ s equal space on either side . This gives both partners equal room to enjoy the relationship . You never want to place your bed in a corner it can make your partner feel trapped .
MAKE SPACE . Even if it ’ s just you in the bedroom now , you will want to add a second nightstand to the other side of the bed . It ’ s your declaration to the Universe that you are ready for a partner to occupy the space next to you on the bed .
REMOVE THE BOYFRIEND PILLOW AND STUFFED ANIMALS . Now , I know you don ’ t sleep with stuffed animals anymore BUT if you do , it ’ s time to break up with them . Why ? Because they send the message that you have no space in the bed for anyone else . Ditto for those long body pillows I see in a lot of my clients beds .
ELECTRONICS ARE A NO- NO . Brace yourself for this one ! You really should remove work and electronics from your bedroom . Your bedroom is a sanctuary and should be reserved for two things only : rest and romance .
FRESH BED SHEETS AND LINENS . Invest in a new set of sheets and bedding , if you can , especially if you are coming out of a long term relationship . They could trigger bad memories or associations of a past relationship . This will give you a fresh start .
GET THE EX-LOVER OUT OF YOUR BEDROOM … FOR GOOD . No photos , no old sweaters and no gifts . You heard me , cut all ties . You ’ re welcome .
A TOUCH OF ROUGE . Even if red isn ’ t your thing , you can still add it small doses . You
need a little of it to ignite your love life . I always suggest a little red jewelry tray on your nightstand .
Now that you have created a room that looks beautiful , it ’ s time to address your other senses as well . I suggest adding a light fragrant candle or an essential oil diffuser . Make sure that your bed linens appeal to your sense of touch . Add a dimmer switch to the light in your bedroom and don ’ t forget to play relaxing music to fill your bedroom with soothing sounds . Enhancing your bedroom will not only affect your relationship status but will help all other areas of your life flow .
