Valentines Day Ideas
Forget dinner out, diamond jewelry, and boxes of chocolate for your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day; instead do something special with your master bedroom that will spice up your love life all year round—this was the design challenge I posed to the DOTI at Johns Creek designers this week.
Designer Nathan said the key to making the master bedroom more romantic was to think in terms of stimulating all of your senses. Something as simple as keeping a vase of fresh flowers in the bedroom, lighting scented candles, and purchasing new lamps or adding a dimmer option to your current fixtures would all help to create a more romantic mood. Costing a little more money, he suggested buying exotic fur throws for the foot of the bed or for strategic placement on the floor. He’ll be checking out a wonderful line of exotic furs at a design show later this week to see whether it is something DOTI at Johns Creek may want to start carrying. For those who prefer faux, there are some beautiful high-quality faux furs that are also fabulous for romantic cuddling.
For romantics who really want to step up the sensory excitement of their boudoir, designer Elizabeth suggests custom bedding made of silks, satins, and velvet. This luxurious bedding would be a true sensory treat and appropriate for year-round use. Prices start at $1,500 and go up from there.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Talk with you Thursday,
