We all know the standard renovations always help increase the resale value of your home: new kitchens, updated bathrooms and upgrades to insulation for energy efficiency is what you will see on any home improvement or DIY renovation speciality channel.
Besides these, are there any must-do renovations that can help improve your sex life or the intimacy you share with your spouse? Here are the top five renovations we recommend you explore to give your sex life a boost,
Privacy Upgrades
Enough cannot be said about the boost given to your sex life when you and your spouse have a private, secluded space to relax and unwind. Simple upgrades like a good door lock to the bedroom door, light-killing curtains and upgraded soundproofing in the walls can make all the difference in turning a standard bedroom into a private boudoir. Knowing someone can't accidentally walk in on you or the kids can't hear you in the adjacent room gives you the much-needed separation to enjoy some private adult time with your spouse. If your bedroom doesn't fit the bill or is past the point of a simple upgrade fix, you may want to look into converting another space in your home into a naughty room.
Add Hidden Storage
Do you have intimate accessories, films, literature or toys that you'd like to keep close by but not too easy to find or stumble upon? There are several small DIY projects that can be done to add hidden storage features to an existing room. Or, have your contractor think about creating more professional-level hiding spots next time before you do a room renovation or make window upgrades. Having hiding spots for your intimates will make it easier to keep the toys handy when you need them and make sure you suffer the embarrassment if someone accidentally looks into that old shoebox at the back of the closet.
Setting the Mood for Intimacy
Décor and foreplay can only go so far into ushering in a night of good sex - not much will happen if you and your spouse are uncomfortable, like being way too hot or humid. More serious upgrades like air conditioning may be required to help set the right conditions to get you to be all over each other even when there is a heatwave going on outside. Other changes can help your bedroom ambiance be more romantic and appealing like adding dimmable lighting to set the right lighting level when it's time to play.
Invest in a Master Bath or Ensuite
Having a bathroom ensuite to your bedroom holds many benefits. First, many people (especially men) like shower / rinse off after sex. So having the bathroom just a quick hop away avoids the walk of shame down the hall to use the hopefully unoccupied communal shower.
Besides this, having a sprawling ensuite with a large shower or tub for two has its benefits as well. In all, about 56% of couples have had shower sex at some point together while most couples are OK with showering together for whatever reason. Keep hanky-panky in mind when choosing your next bathroom renovation layout and you won't be disappointed.
Secret Goodies
Are you and your spouse into more intricate play or do you want to use your bedroom to be more adventurous? There are several DIY hacks or professional upgrades that can accommodate the needs of BDSM or fantasy play: everything from hidden tie-downs and anchor points to stocking the room with full-on dungeon furniture. Research the internet or community fetish forums for ideas, or find a kinky local contractor who can help take your space to the next level of your wildest dreams.
Happy renovating everyone :0)
