How to make your home more romantic

With Valentines Day just around the corner (mental head-slap: doh, forgot again!) here are some ideas for keeping the flame alive with more romantic spaces around your home.

1. A garden chair or swing for two

Imagine the romance! Just the two of you, snuggled together in a private corner of your own garden. We’ve seen them on Gone with the Wind, but how many Kiwi gardens can boast one?

2. A tub for two

Bathrooms are no longer only functional spaces, they have become retreats from the stresses of the modern world. And what better place to retreat to with that special someone than your own super-sized bathtub or jacuzzi?

3. The food of love

Why go out when you can share a candlelit dinner for two in the privacy of your own home? Given, of course, that you’ve somehow managed to get rid of the kids for the evening…

4. Keep the flame alive

 
It may not seem like the best time of year to install a fireplace, but you won’t regret it come winter.

5. The kitchen is the heart of the home

Kitchens can be romantic places, but only when they’re a pleasure to work and be in.

6. The romantic bedroom

  You might think this bedroom is a bit over the top, but remember, when it comes to love, it’s how your partner feels that counts…
