Your home is the framework within which you project your personal essence, and in which you will likely set the tone for your relationship. Therefore, you will want it to not only reflect who you are, but how you wish to be seen. Following are a few rules and regulations for maintaining a seductive setting au deux, as well as for those alone times, however infrequent they may be. - First and foremost, keep your home tidy and clean.
- Depending on the weather, remember to open windows. Fresh air is vital.
- Eliminate odors that are unpleasant to the olfactory senses.
- Conversely, whenever appropriate, cook foods and use fragrances (such as scented candles) that are appealing without being overwhelming.
- Mend, replace, or remove anything that is in disrepair or unsightly.
- Store emergency foods, repair items, first-aid medications, etc. for easy access.
- Play low-volume atmospheric music during mealtime or before retiring, to your (mutual) tastes.
- Discourage intrusive noise, whether from outside your home or within.
- Set boundaries of space. If you are a pet-owner, expect your dogs or cats or parrots or goldfish to comply. The same is true of roommates or other family members. Your space is just that—yours.
- Make recent issues of newspapers, news and lifestyle magazines available for browsing.
- Always offer guests something appropriate to drink or eat.
- If the bedroom is to be made accessible, be sure the bedding is fresh, that extra towels are available, and that the bathroom does not overwhelm with your personal arsenal of medications, cosmetics, etc. Make this room particularly appeal to all the senses, to whatever degree you are able: smell, sound, sight, taste, and touch.
- Do not apologize for lack of anything to offer your guest or of perceived inadequacies of your home. By inviting someone into your abode, you are sharing an intimate part of yourself.
- Enjoy your home as an entertainment center for others, and as a safe haven for yourself.
The more pride you take in your home, the more pleasure you provide in it for others.
