Valentine\u2019s Day is fast approaching. If you are staying in, here are 10 simple ways to add a touch of romance to your home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dim the lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To create a romantic atmosphere, you need ambient lighting that you can dim to create a low-lit calm space. Turn off the overhead lights and opt for bedside and table lamps that produce a soft light and a warm ambience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a cosy living space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make your sitting room a relaxing place to relax and unwind together. Layer up blankets, throws and cushions on your sofa to create a cosy space to snuggle up and watch a film together. Look for tactile fabrics like velvet, faux fur or merino wool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a candle-lit bath<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing nicer than wrapping yourself in warm fluffy towels after a long, relaxing candlelit bath. Buy matching luxurious bathrobes to snuggle up in post-soak and play your favourite album while you relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Style up your bedroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A romantic bedroom is all about luxurious textures, soft colours and gentle lighting. A romantic bedroom needs a gorgeous bedspread or quilt to add layers and texture to the look of the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexy scents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use scented candles to make your house smell gorgeous.  Look for a sexy fragrances like Feu de Bois from Diptique, with its woody scent, or Roses, which evokes the delicate smell of rose bushes brimming with flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
