STRATEGY TO ENHANCE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS: BEGIN THE CREATIVE MAKE-OVER OF YOUR BEDROOM

24th March 2009

It doesn’t matter how small your budget or how tiny your bedroom, choose to have it reflect the real you. Sit in it one morning or evening and really look closely at what you have. Notice the colours, the bed linen, the lamps, the bedside tables. Start listing the changes you could make just by changing some colours. If you are frightened of making a ghastly mistake, then choose a neutral background for walls, ceiling and floor and add colour with accessories. Visit homes for sale on ‘open for inspection’ days for practical examples, or gather magazines to give you new ideas. Make notes when you find a home and bedroom similar to your heart’s desire and discuss the situation with your bedroom partner. If he or she is negative about changes suggest very small ones. Don’t let their inertia stop you from moving the relationship into sweeter waters.

Change your bedroom around. You probably can’t change the position of the bed, but you can change where chests of drawers, a dressing table or a chair are placed. A fresh coat of paint on the walls or furniture will change your bedroom dramatically. Try different sheets on the bed, or perhaps add cushions to your bed. Lots of cushions in harmony with the bedroom and bed linen give the appearance of generosity, a good attribute for the romantic. The colours you choose reveal a lot about how you are feeling. Listen to your intuition on this. Above all, think romance. Think sensuality.

Stand at the door of your bedroom and consider every surface. Perhaps you have a few books on bedside tables or on the chest of drawers. It’s a sign of an inquisitive mind. However, a virtual library in the bedroom confuses the purpose of the room.

A mirror is a very good accessory in your bedroom and depending on where you place it and what you do in sight of it, can be very sensual. A mirror anywhere in the room reflects light and energy, enlarges and inspires the imagination. Round mirrors are especially good for enhancing relationships, according to the principles of Feng Shui. Curves are more romantic than straight-edged lines, in Western eyes too. Look at decorating fashions. Mirrored wardrobes are not particularly romantic – these days we enjoy the cocooning effect of smaller bedrooms and don’t need a mirrored wall of aluminium doors.
