Clean up the clutter. Who can feel sexy when looking at piles of junk? Everyday items should have designated spaces.

When it comes to paint, decide how you want to feel in the room. Hot colors are usually sexier. Cool colors are serene and peaceful.

In a minimal interior, what you don't do is as important as what you do. A richly painted wall can stand alone as art.

Replace a TV in the bedroom with a stereo. If you have to have a TV in your bedroom, hide it.

When choosing bed linens, buy the best thread count you can afford. Nate suggests Linens 'n Things and Bed Bath & Beyond.

In the bedroom, black and white photographs of you and your partner artistically framed in matching frames can be beautiful, sexy and intimate.

Special thanks to Owens Corning HOMExperts Repair and Improvements.
