Adorn your bed with luxurious fabrics. Use sheer and lacy fabrics in summer and warm furry blankets in winter. Decorate it with velvety, satin or Egyptian cotton pillows that entice the body and the mind. Place candles and fresh flowers on your bed stand and even hang a sexy sheer kimono from the bedpost. Pillows and fluffy rugs also serve as tools for kneeling positions or positions that require leverage.

Romantic Feng Shui

According to the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui, certain areas in your living space represent certain aspects of your life. Your Love and Marriage corner lies in the right corner of the room as you enter it. This one really works, we had a plant in our house that we had to move during the summer because it wasn’t getting enough light sunlight where it was so my husband moved it into the right corner of our bedroom and ever since he’s done that we’re definitely having more sex…

To achieve Feng Shui in your love an marriage corner remove any clutter from this area and adorn it with pairs of things, plants, candles, love memento’s, quotes about love, fountains, fresh flowers, wind chimes, mirrors and pictures of you and your beloved. But avoid strong water, metal or wood element colours in this area.
