Use the color PINK as much as possible in the bedroom. (Only use the color red as an accent, to activate sex and passion, and use it sparingly in the bedroom since it is a stimulator and can cause insomnia and lack of rest.) As for the color pink, in addition to it being the color of love and romance, it is calm, soothing and relaxing.
If possible, paint the walls a light pink or use pink patterned wallpaper. In addition add some pink curtains, draperies or blinds. A romantic pink print bedspread will do wonders also! Try adding some pink bureau scarves.
As decorations and accents….you can set up 2 pink crystals or Rose Quartz in your bedroom. TWO’s of anything helps reinforce the bond of two.
Any decoration shaped like a HEART will help incorporate the energies of love and romance into your life.
Some knickknacks or ceramics of love birds, mandarin ducks or cranes help bring partnership into your life.
Try to set up two pink candles in your room, if they’re heart-shaped, even better!
If possible, in your bedroom, try to stick with either round or oval mirrors. (Just make sure that the mirrors do not reflect your bed). If you mirror is square or rectangle, it can be softened by suspending a strand of pearls from the corner of it.
If you use vases and flowers, use only real ones (and replace when they wither) or silk flowers. Never use dried flowers, any time since your goal is not to have your relationships dry up! If you use some flowers, Peonies are wonderful for romance as well as Roses. Try setting up two-long stemmed red roses in a pink or crystal vase.
Also, the Lotus flower has been reputed to sustain pure love between lovers.
If you want to spice up some intimacy in your love life, try to obtain two, tomato plants in your bedroom, since tomatoes are known as the "love apple".
Try to set up two conch shells in your bedroom, as the conch shell ensures fidelity despite any separations.
Any wind chime with double fish signifies an auspicious life together.

Scents can also be used to awaken chi in the partnership gua. You can incorporate the scents (by perfumes, oils, incense, fragranced candles, etc.) of ROSE, JASMINE, YLANG YLANG or VANILLA – all reputed for love, romance and relationships.
Obtain a round or heart-shaped, silver box with a written wish of yours in it, and place it in the northwest corner of your room – in the partnership gua.
If you want to activate your partnership gua, make sure you increase the light in this part of your room. By keeping blinds and curtains open in the day. You can also suspend a crystal ball from a 9 inch, red ribbon from the ceiling in that section of the partnership gua. If you don’t want to use the sunlight, any artificial lighting would do the trick as well, even a small night light.
Another good thing to suspend in that area is a wind chime especially if it is heart shaped. Always remember to suspend your wind chimes from a 9 or 18 inch, red ribbon.
Make sure there is NO CLUTTER in your house, anywhere, especially in the partnership gua of any room and anywhere in your bedroom!
Make sure there is nothing stashed or stored under your bed. Keep everything clean, fresh and sparkling and you will bring those qualities into your new relationship.
Any pictures, paintings or art work should be of a romantic nature i.e. a couple holding hands, a painting of pink flowers, anything romantic!
You may also want to add two pots, one on each side of the front door, preferably with red geraniums in it. This will attract good luck and a new relationship into your life, through the mouth of chi.
Make sure the foot of your bed does not face the bedroom door or otherwise you may get sick and suffer from lack of energy.
Be certain there is not any harsh lighting in your room. Harsh lighting can cause stress. If you can, buy the beauty tone pink watt light bulbs for a softer, more romantic look in your bedroom.
Make sure there is no shar chi from the outside, pointing towards your bedroom windows. If so, it needs to be corrected with a mirror, reflecting it back.
If you have a bathroom attached to your bedroom, make sure the door is closed and the toilet seat is down (at all times) in the bathroom itself. You may also want to suspend a little mirror on the outside of the bathroom door while it is closed.
If you have a ceiling fan over your bed, make sure a crystal is suspended from the pull-chain in order to disperse the cutting shar chi over your body.
Ideally, your bed should have a headboard for support, and that headboard should always be up against the wall. If your bed is placed under a window, then suspend a crystal ball from the ceiling between the bed and window on a 9 inch red ribbon to disperse that chi and create protection from the outside.
Kwan Yin is the goddess of mercy and compassion. She is also used a lot for bringing love into one’s life. Having a statue of her gracing one of your chests, credenzas or bureaus would be most pleasant.
