I came across a magazine article years ago that gave tips on how to keep the bedroom a sanctuary – a place for rest, relaxation, and romance. Some of the tips were:
- Never have a TV in the bedroom
- Never bring work (laptops, folders, books and magazines read for work purposes) in the bedroom
- Keep it tidy – no stinky socks and shoes scattered around, make the bed
- Paint the room in soothing colors – blues, greens, grays, etc.

There were several more (which I’ve forgotten). I’d love to hear about other decoration and lifestyle tips or advice for keeping romance alive in the bedroom if anyone has any to share!

I've also heard to not fight, pay bills or have anything you associate as negative in there. I've even heard someone go as far to say not to have any pictures of your kids or family in there. I guess it would "kill the mood" :)

I don't know about these. I think that if you have great communication with your partner and you make time for each other, these silly things don't matter. My wife and I will often be watching television on bed in our room and a subtle touch or kiss escalates us into passion and after the door is closed, it simply doesn't matter whether we left the TV or computer on. I think that when it comes to your partner, you should be able to put aside any distraction and concentrate 100% on them. It has worked for us for over 19 years!
