How To Make the Most of Your Master Bedroom

Does your master bedroom need some livening up? Give it a shot of adrenaline with these handy, easy bedroom makeover tips:

Clean it up! Nobody wants to get amorous — or sleepy, even — in a room where clutter is everywhere. A nice, neat room with clean floors, well-dusted surfaces, and everything in its place will ease your mind, and that will help ease your body. Consider your master bedroom the ultimate place to relax, and you will find it easier to keep the clutter at bay.

Dress up the bed. Make your bed every morning, and dress it with linens appropriate to the season. Purchase luxurious quilts, thick down comforters, and plenty of pillows. Remember to use color to your advantage — cool colors promote relaxation, while deep, rich colors make you think more sensual thoughts.

Paint the walls! A new coat of vivid paint on the walls can transform a so-so room into a showplace! Bright colors in a red palate, such as orange, trick the body into feeling more amorous. If you aren’t ready to paint your entire room a sensual color, start with just one wall. The result is a nice contrast that provides even more visual interest.

Light it Up. The light you use in your bedroom can make or break your remodel. Harsh overhead lighting is not a flattering option for any room, especially not the bedroom! Opt for tall lamps, bedside lighting, and plenty of candles instead. Colored lights are good for bedside lamps, and provide a flattering look that hides imperfections.

Get luxurious! Opt for curtains that block the light, so you get plenty of uninterrupted sleep. Throw soft, cushy rugs on the floor to sink your toes into on those colder mornings. Choose a few hardy plants to keep in the room for a homey feel. Put all your odds and ends in a pretty basket here and there, and invest in a nice armoire to conceal the television or provide even more space for clothing. The more opulent and luxurious your room looks, the more luxurious your time spent there will feel!
