Romancing your home is essential to creating a healthy and happy living environment. Bringing romance into your home can bring excitement and joy while also increasing the comfort and coziness of your space. It does not have to be complicated or expensive; even small changes can make a big difference. So whether you are looking for a quick refresher or a complete overhaul, this article will provide ideas to help you romance your home in no time.
Add Flowers and Houseplants
Flowers and houseplants are not only attractive, but they also add oxygen to the air, making your home more comfortable. If you do not have a “green thumb,” then silk or other artificial plants and flowers can add the same freshness to your space.
Play Some Tunes
Music can make any room or space feel more romantic, incredibly soft, relaxing music conducive to conversation. Sharing some tunes both enjoy is key—some flashback music from growing up or your first date. There are many ways to bring music into your space and truly set the mood.
Light Candles
Candles are an excellent way to create ambiance in any room of your house and add a touch of romance. The flickering light of a candle is romantic, but so is the scent. Choose something welcoming, such as vanilla or a baked goods variety, to bring a sense of “home” into your space.
Overall Lighting Matters
Set the mood Lighting can also contribute to the mood of a space, so consider dimming or turning off bright overhead lights and using lamp light in conjunction with candlelight for an overall more romantic effect. Also, choosing a softer white light or turning on lamps instead of the overhead lights disperses the light and calms the nerves.
Add Something Soft
Pillows and small throw blankets are a delightful touch. They are easy to change out seasonally as well. When you sit down on that couch together and snuggle, you want to savor the joy of being with the one you love and being surrounded by comfort.
Remember the Bathroom
Adding some soft towels is a good start in the bathroom. Keep it fresh and warmly lit as well. Candles and a bath is an excellent welcome home gifts to your spouse at the end of a hard day. If you have a shower spritzing the shower with a lovely essential oil such as lavender or peppermint can add a nice touch as well. A little something extra goes a long way.
Set that Table
Sometimes it can be as simple as setting the table. Make it simple. Some flowers in a vase, a candle, or a table runner can make a big difference. It sets the space apart for a nice meal. Declutter the area and keep it open for a comfortable, non-distracted dinner.
At Last, the Bedroom
Making the bed and adding a few throw pillows is a start. Decluttering is essential here as well. Keeping the bedroom simple and without distractions allows for better sleep and romance. The world is so overrun with distractions from cell phones to tv and online activities we sometimes forget the comfort of simple things. Keep your room warm and simple, and your love life will become one of the warmest parts of your home.
Your imagination only limits your choices. Mixing things up does not have to be expensive, just effective. What makes you feel at home? What makes your partner feel at home? Take the answers to both of them and get creative. Nothing spices up the evenings at home more than a setting you cannot wait to share with your loved one.
