Make the bed she won’t want to leave
Hunting for home furnishings can feel like dental work: You leave numb to the touch, your wallet shrinks considerably, and the pain can last for days if something goes wrong. But handsome home decor isn’t far behind pearly whites in wooing a woman into bed.

“Having a great bed is the number-one priority,” says designer Alisha Farmer, of the New York City–based interior-design firm Butter and Eggs. “Everything becomes a lot easier if you’ve slept well.” For our top mattress pick, see “Sleep Softly” on the page 3.

Almost as important, from her perspective, is how well you dress the bed. Fortunately, that’s become less of a slog, now that dozens of clothing designers have adapted their aesthetics to home collections. All you have to do is crack open your closet. Do you wear traditional navy suits and button-down shirts? Opt for the home collections from Ralph Lauren, Nautica, or Tommy Hilfiger. If you wear earth tones, check out Joseph Abboud. And if you’re more modern, consider Calvin Klein Home and Armani Casa. 

And remember: Masculine doesn’t have to mean boring. Your goal is to layer patterns, textures, and prints in a way that creates a rich mixture she’ll want to snuggle under--with you.
