i prefer the natural floor boards myself i've got dark furnture and bed with dark rosewood floor...then white bedding with a dark terracota thow....light magnolia walls (textured) and light curtains with black out lining...........the light walls ensure the room looks bigger than it is.......
but for me lighting is the essential think i use lamps to read by............yep my sex life is that poor...but for other soft lamps to make lurrrveee by is the best so im told

How about a moroccan theme, can be very sexy using textures and bold colours?

I've always thought that setting a room around a certain scent is a good idea, for instance if the room had a lavender scent the room would be designed with that in mind, everything would be related to lavender. Bedrooms need to be cosy so i think the perfect scent for the room to have would be something warming, the first one that comes to mind is mulled wine, so naturally the room would be designed so taht it matched its scent with warming colours such as reds, browns and oranges. With alot of thought i personally think that a home or a room designed using smell as a template would be a comfortable one.
I doubt that helps you though x
Hi Winchwench
Ok here's my design ideas top create a sensual boudoir:
Floorboards definitely (wood is NOT cold to step onto)
Absolutely no TV/DVD anywhere (should be banned in bedrooms)
No children's pictures
Sensual generally means warm colours and a moroccan idea would be a good starting point so perhaps try warm reads, aubergines, browns with maybe an accent colour (duck egg lovely for this and restful to as Sassy has done/doing)
As well as colours, textures are very important in a bedroom, silky cushions, chunky throws, faux fur, mngolian cushions (thicker for winter, thinner for summer)
Personally I would only choose pure white good quality cotton bedding and dress with cushions and throws which you can interhange from season to season.
Lighting is really important, side lamps, wall lights, candles etc. Low wattage bulbs.
The walls - should be the last decision really, choose the expensive things you love, the bed, furniture, curtains (fabric is expensive) then put them all together in a mood board and see what colour would compliment them all. Often it is a colour you wouldn't think of. As someone else suggested a feature wall is a good plan to get a strong colour without dominating the room.
Happy designing.

Well my advice is to get a bed with a footboard and order a longer one if you wish to cater for the taller gentlemen, since it is nice to having something to push against when you either want to move up the bed or stop slipping down. Further more you actually get more effective length with a headboard since with a divan the bedding tends to press down on your feet more.
Having said that, bed sizes are rather lacking behind the changes in the heights of the adult population.
Also did you know the latest thing is a "water feature" in the bedroom, its the in thing in London now, they have special lights and fragrences to add to the trickling water to suit the mood.
Aparently the urge to spend a penny from the sound of the cascading water soon diminishes.
. So im all confuddled now! 
but I also prefer a wooden floor, got one in my bedroom (oops, I mean ours!) and would never go back to carpet.
although it does look very nice
