Play with lighting

You've heard it before and we'll say it again -- lights create atmosphere. It helps you develop the illusion of private corners and defined areas. And, let's not forget, it is vital for that romantic setting.

Uniquely shaped lanterns and lamp shades are eye-catching. If this strains your budget, avoid the lamps and choose different coloured lights for different moods instead.
