Create your own bedroom haven by appealing to all your senses.Soft Lighting - bedside lamps with a warm glow and a chandelier are popular boudoir choices. Avoid harsh down lights.
Furnish for relaxation - crate a nook where you can sit and enjoy quiet time.
Character windows - the key to a beautiful boudoir is in the drapes. No featureless blinds here, but rich, personality drapes that are lined and heavy and puddle extravagantly onto the floor.
Subtle colour - soothing hues are those that are greyed down so the colour is less clear and pleasantly shifts with changing light. Popular choices are warm mochas, celadon greens, through to richer plums and chocolates.
Block out noise - for serenity, shut out the world with heavy curtains and thick carpets.
Texture - sensuality is king - opt for feelgood fabrics such as satin, velvets, mohair and linens.
Scent - an incredibly potent way of influencing our moods. Feel happy, relaxed and comforted by a favorite scent, be it jasmine wafting through the window, a bouquet of roses by the bed, a spritz of linen water on your pillows or even a splash of your favourite perfume.
