Sexy Bedroom Design: Decor Tips
Colors, smells, lighting, textures are what can magically increase sexual arousal. How to properly use these “aphrodisiacs” when decorating a bedroom?
1. Fragrant plants and flowers
Bedroom design in style
A recent study in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology found that women are more creative when surrounded by plants.
Choose a classic indoor rose for your bedroom that boosts your mood by releasing phenylethylamine, or surround your bed with lavender and lily of the valley. The aromas of these plants, according to American researchers, excite men more than other floral scents.
By the way, essential oils can also be used to increase sex drive.
2. The right textiles for the bedroom
Consider the advice of the decorator of The Tudors when choosing your bedroom textiles. For tempestuous sex scenes, Jenny Oman chose a mix of noble materials such as velvet and satin.
“Luxurious shine and deep rich colors such as red wine and carnations create an atmosphere of sensuality and luxury,” she says. The warm brown-red palette typical of the East is ideal for the bedroom.
When choosing bedding, trust the tactile sensations: smooth satin or silk mixed with cotton will pleasantly cool during hot bed battles.
A 2007 study at the University of Minnesota found that high ceilings stimulate creative thinking, while low ceilings help focus on details.
If your partner is too busy with the process to seek an original approach to your hotspots, paint the ceilings a few shades darker than the walls to make them appear lower. If missionary position has already become a boring ritual, try lightening the ceiling – a shade of rose in addition to the burgundy walls.
Bright light is not conducive to creating an intimate atmosphere at all. In the bedroom, it is best to refuse overhead lighting and prefer floor lamps and lamps with soft diffusing lampshades. Instead of the usual switches, it is better to use dimmers, which will dim the light as you wish.
Eva Longoria’s friend, designer Robert Verdi, advises to pay attention to the colored light bulbs: “Pink will soften the room and give the skin a healthy complexion, while the color of amber will make the body look tanned. Margaret Walch, director of the Color Association of the United States, agrees: “Pink has a calming effect, while an amber hue increases sexual arousal.”
The mirror in the bedroom will make you feel like the heroine of an erotic movie. Place candles around the room to enhance the visual impact and accentuate the senses to create an impressive play of shadows.
Best of all, if they are perfumed candles with citrus scent. American researchers claim that orange scent can increase blood flow in the penis by 20%.
If you want some intense sex, paint the walls orange! It perfectly unifies and activates the sexual aspects of red and yellow.
Physiologically, red is a stimulant, but psychologically, it is overly aggressive and irritating. Mix it with sunny yellow and then you will feel elated.
If a completely orange room seems too active to you, limit yourself to a bright color accent – paint one of the walls in an orange hue, for example, the one behind the head of the bed.
