<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt">Craving Romantic Energy in the Bedroom? Come to Your Senses</h2>(ARA) – To rekindle the flame in a relationship, many couples think they need a special occasion or a private escape to a tropical land. But this just isn’t the case.When imagining a romantic getaway, look no further than your very own bedroom. A less expensive and longer lasting way to spice up your love life and fuel the romantic fire is to focus on the five senses. Creating a passionate retreat at home will ignite your love life in more ways than one. <div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/10b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/10b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div> SightSome psychologists have found that visual stimulants may be the single most important factor when setting the mood. So, when preparing your bedroom for a romantic rendezvous, liven it up with a splash of color. Variations of red, purple and orange work best to stimulate passion. "Colors play an important role in the bedroom," says Donna Schroeder, color marketing and design manager for paint manufacturer Pratt & Lambert. "If you want to add romance and sizzle to the space, stick to fiery colors which can arouse desire and excitement. Avoid lackluster shades like white and beige." Paint colors like Twilight Chimes, Flirtation, Bed of Roses, Taffy Lips and Enchantress are just some of the sensual hues in Pratt & Lambert Paint’s color palette that can help do the trick. Replacing dull sheets and bedroom accessories with ones that pack a powerful punch is another way to turn up the volume. Throw pillows and drapes can also spark some visual heat in a cool room. Lighting plays an important role as well. Keep the room dim, but not dark. TouchThe texture of bed linens is also an important factor to consider. Avoid anything too rough or coarse on the skin, and stick to sheets with a higher thread count. Anything over 350 is optimal. Stay away from heavy fabrics like flannel that can generate unnecessary heat. Consider soft accent pillows or blankets in a material like chenille. The supple texture will make your room more inviting and romantic, without being too over-the-top. Although wood flooring is popular, nothing is worse then being greeted by a cold, hard floor when you wake up in the morning. Choosing plush, thick carpet for your bedroom will make the entire room cozier, not to mention softer and gentler on your feet. Keep the color neutral so focus stays on the romantic colors and elements throughout the rest of the room. ScentWhen it comes to invigorating the senses, scent should not be ignored. In fact, research shows that a person’s memories are most strongly related to his or her sense of smell. So, give your partner an experience he or she will never forget by incorporating some spicy aromas like vanilla or cinnamon into the room. Scented candles or fragrant oils are great for creating a memorable atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and letting loose. Sprinkle the bed with rose petals for a softer, floral scent or dress up the room with hints of lavender, citrus or jasmine – all known to arouse the senses. But don’t go overboard. A little bit goes a long way. TasteFor years, people have considered a person’s taste buds to be a very sensual part of the body. Many foods and drinks contain an aphrodisiac quality that can be useful for adding a little flavor to the bedroom. Chocolate, strawberries and champagne are extremely luxurious in taste and texture. The silkiness of the chocolate and the bright body of the champagne are sure to make an explosive, and sparkling, combination. Strawberries offer a much sweeter and juicier sensation, perfect for puckering up those lips. Plus, taking turns feeding each other is a great way to connect. Other aphrodisiacs include avocados, bananas and honey. SoundMusic is another way to create atmosphere in the bedroom. But choose wisely. The songs or genres you pick can affect the type of mood you want to create. <div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/14b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/14b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div> If you’re looking to liven up the night, more powerful tunes may be in order.

ith words, which can distract from the moment. By using these tips to set the mood in your bedroom, you will surely stimulate all of your senses.
