BE PICKY WITH PILLOWS
Throw pillows that look and feel good can transform the ambience of your boudoir. I’m obsessed with West Elm’s round lush velvet pillows ($39 each, westelm.com) and Mongolian lamb pillow covers (not shown, $79 and up each, westelm.com). You’ll love this touch of luxury, too.

UPGRADE YOUR UNDIES
Whoever said seductive lingerie had to have an uncomfortable cut and carry a hefty price tag? Don’t believe it. Cosabella’s ultra- smooth “Savona” lace bodysuit ($136, cosabella.com) will give instant allure to your evenings, yet will still fit like pajamas.

BOOST FLOWER POWER
Nothing creates an air of enchantment quite like flowers. Put a fresh spin on the usual floral arrangement with the Venus ET Fleur Fleura vase ($359, venusetfleur.com). Enjoy the lovely Eternity Roses at your bedside for a year without ever having to water them or spot a wilted petal.
