Flowers in the bedroom are a luxury you can indulge in more often than only on special occasions if you choose dramatic blooms that look good one or two to a vase. Two black calla lilies and bamboo shoots make a striking arrangement. It's even more striking when you tint the water to match. Red and blue food coloring create a lavender hue. Vase, $20, Nicole Farhi, 212-223-8811. Breakfast in bed is a treat no matter what it's served on, be it your everyday china or your Sunday best. The trick is to make sure you have everything you need for a good, long lie-in— namely, a big pot for coffee or tea, a couple of generous glasses for champagne, and a nice big platter for fluffy scrambled eggs or chocolate croissants.

Menu: Focus on quality over quantity. Event planner and florist Antony Todd says, "Wake up with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, scrambled eggs cooked with unsalted butter until they're just set but still soft and sprinkled with kosher salt, and warm French bread." Brew a pot of hazelnut coffee and serve it with cream. If you or your partner is a tea drinker, indulge in an exotic variety of loose tea (visit www.truetea.com). Turn orange or grapefruit juice into a mimosa with a splash of sparkling wine.

Music: Think romance. Nat King Cole, The Greatest Hits; Shirley Horn, You Won't Forget Me; Zakir Hussain, Making Music.

Words of Wisdom: "Get all the senses," says Todd. Clean, soft linens, freshly ground coffee, a few fragrant flowers, and good music are a recipe for romance and relaxation.
