Slip into Something Sexy: Your Bedroom Makeover

we all know February to be the month of love and romance. For me, it shouldn't be one month - it should be 365 days a year. Whether you are single or married, you can bring sexiness and romance into your room for the other 11 months! 


So slip into something a little more sexy for your bedroom with these super sexy bedroom ideas and watch the sparks fly!

Style: You want your bedroom to feel like a spa - a getaway, the room where all the magic happens! The key to perfecting this look is by having very few items in your bedroom as you'd find in a hotel! 

Color: Use serene color schemes that remind you of a beach resort. You'll feel like you're on vacation every time you step through the doors.

Layout: Create an oasis centered around your bed by adding a sexy headboard and lighting. You can also create a getaway look by making a canopy! 
  • Furniture: Make your bed your focal point. Add dramatic interest with canopies or headboards! If your bedroom has a fireplace, create a living space surrounding the fireplace with a couple of chairs and a coffee table that fits the space. Place some nice coffee table books on vacation spots or beautiful photography. 
  • Storage: Since we don't want sexy, romantic bedrooms to feel and look cluttered, we need to come up with creative storage ideas. 
    • Shoes: If you don't have enough space in your closet, hide those bad boys under your bed using underbed storage canisters. I would suggest storing the "special occasion" shoes under the bed since they are the ones less used. Wrap them in bubble wrap if you're worried about damage or dust. 
    • Catch-all:  Where does all of that stuff in your pockets go to die every night? Try to find a cute but small basket on top of your dresser or side table that you can dump everything from your pockets in. This usually applies to men since they don't carry purses. Everything will be in one spot when you're ready to get dressed the next day! 
    • Purses: Women have so many! If your closet isn't big enough to store these, place a couple of cloth baskets over the armoire in your bedroom and store them out of sight! 
  • Accessories: The final tip for a sexy bedroom is accessorizing. 
    • Lighting: Have night time lighting surrounding your bed. Two identical lamps will bring symmetry to your bedroom - thus making the room look cohesive. 
    • Pillows: Lots of pillows on the bed placed strategically from biggest to smallest, can add a sense of sexiness to any bedroom and make the bed look and feel like an oasis. 
    • Mirrors: Make the room appear larger by placing a mirror over your bed. 
    • Fresh Flowers & Candles: Put a vase on your side table and change them every few days. The smell alone will make you feel at peace. You can light the candle when you and your spouse are cuddling in bed!

Do's and Don'ts
  • DON'T bring work into your bedroom. If you must work on something in bed, give yourself a time limit and then hide that laptop away. 
  • DO have a few books on your bedside table that allow you to escape the real world. 
  • DON'T have a pile of dirty laundry on the floor or filled to capacity in an old and ugly looking hamper. 
  • DO disguise your hamper with a sexy Rattan hamper or a nice chest at the end of the bed that can double as a seating area. 

Enjoyed these ideas and now you want to get started on your bedroom makeover? Drop us a note and let's get started!

TRENDY TUESDAYS: MARTHA STEWART'S NEW PAINT LINE


The Queen of crafts is back and lucky for me as an interior designer, I see a lot of potential with this new line of paint crafts.


Martha Stewart has a new paint line - stencils, paints and brushes all available at Michaels Store. The great part about it is that they can be used on glass, fabric, or furniture. As an affordable interior designer, I plan to use these in my designs. It will look great on pillows, on furniture or custom small accessories to tie in the space.
