Sex Up Your Bedroom ( part 2 )

BED PLAY

Being the largest and most used piece of furniture in your room, the bed gets priority attention. Platform beds are considered high on the romance scale. This is great for couples with low budgets, as most platform beds are quite affordable at major chain furniture stores such as IKEA and Crate & Barrel. Most importantly, though, is to make sure your bed is a focal point in your room. Easy ways to use your bed to set the tone of your room include:

Soft & Luxurious Bedding

This is not the place to scrimp on your budget. Get the highest quality thread-count sheets you can afford. If you're buying new bedding, open the packaging to actually feel the blankets before purchasing. Sheets will always be a bit stiff before you wash them, but blankets should make you feel like you can't wait another instant to snuggle up with your partner underneath them. Keep in mind your color choices and how easy it will be to take care of your bedding. If you have animals, that exotic, beaded bedding set may look nice for a few days until they get eaten off or need to be dry cleaned because of all the animal hair. Solid colors in your actual bedding provide the greatest ease for everyday maintenance. You can make up for the lack of pattern elsewhere in your room.

Lots of Pillows

While they may get tossed on the floor during your love play, or even when you sleep, the look of a bed filled with pillows sends a clear message of invitation. When you get creative with textures, the invitation gets harder and harder to pass up. For even more fun, consider ordering (or making your own) specialized pillowcases with sexy messages on them to help set the tone.
