Boudoir boredom: How to bring back the love

Has your bedroom become more of a playroom for your children than for you? Up the romance factor with these helpful hints.

By Lara Ceroni

No kids allowed!
"The only toy chest in the room should be the adult version stacked with sex toys. Props and costumes are great for role play. Rich colours and lush textures are par for the course. If you've ever rented a high-quality erotic video, you'll notice everything suggests sex, with a mirror thrown in for good measure!"

Sacred altar
"Treat the bed like a sacred altar by separating it from the rest of the room -- mosquito nets, plywood pedestals covered in velvet, poster beds, canopies. All can create a romantic effect. It's doubly delish if your room is painted a warm colour -- red, burgundy, gold or orange."

Budget smudget
"You can get creative within any budget. If you can't afford long-stemmed roses, create your own bouquet with lush strawberries on skewers (dipped in chocolate, of course!) with baby's breath."

Good morning
"Buying jewels for a loved one is always a romantic touch. To make the "thank-you" even better, have him/her wake up with the jewellery on. A nice touch that could lead to an even better one!"

Surprise!
"Always have a little surprise in hand to lead into a warm connection with your loved one. A heated towel or robe, a delectable dessert for two, a sexy game, a soft blindfold or massage oil. Ice breakers aren't just made for single mixers!"
