#12 Light the candles
It’s a tried and true way to set the mood. Candles provide the perfect mood lighting — slightly wavering and dim. Candlelight is extremely flattering, so don’t be afraid to light a few more candles!
#11 Guys, get with it
Gentleman, you always want ladies to dress the part but when will you ever learn that ladies would like to see you do the same yourself? Guys should get with it and invest in some snug and bum-fitting lounge pants for their lady loves to admire.
#10 Music to her ears
Soft, relaxing music is key to setting the mood. Pick the type of music that you both enjoy, but won’t randomly start singing along to. Forgo the cheesy soft music and pick something romantic like bossa nova or whatever strikes your fancy.
#9 Comfy is key
Luxurious-feeling bedding is important for a mood-inducing bedroom. To set the right mood for your romantic evening, opt for soft-to-touch sheets that you and your love will not want to climb out of.
#8 Scent of love
Certain natural scents are mood-inducing, like jasmine, vanilla, and patchouli. Find scented candles that will relax and feel romantic for both you and your special date!
#7 Massage is good
Whether it’s giving each other a nice, relaxing massage or getting a couple’s massage at a spa, massage is always good! This fail-proof activity is sure to relax both parties.
#6 Relaxation is key
Relaxation in general is crucial to setting the right mood. Whether it’s getting a massage or watching a movie together snuggled up on a comfy couch, make sure that you and your partner are both in the right emotional state for setting the mood.
#5 Choose sparkling
Bubbles make any mood feel more special and celebratory. Opt for sparkling water or cider — or wine — to give your evening a dash of elegance and romance. Sometimes there’s no need for a real reason to pop the bubbly!
#4 Sweet nothings
Whispering sweet things into each other’s ears is another key step in preparing the perfect bedroom mood! Whispering is both seductive and tempting, and can help both enhance and relax the mood.
#3 Texture counts
When decorating your bedroom and home, choose textiles with soft-to-touch textures — like high quality faux fur blankets, cashmere slippers, and satin robes. Soft modal-blend sheets can be nice against the skin, too!
#2 Unplug for love
Your mood-setting antics and relationship details are for you and your special someone — not for thousands of people worldwide! Turn off the smartphones and refrain from any social networking activity during this time. Unplugging makes for a healthy dose of intimacy.
#1 Girls, dress up
A little silk and lace never hurts in setting the right mood. Sometimes it helps if the guys would put in the effort to pick something nice out for their girls to wear. It’s a flattering gesture!
