10 Signs Your Bedroom Is Too Serious
Share
We all know that life gets busy. Work, bills, endless scrolling, laundry piles, and before you know it… your bedroom has gone from a place of fun and connection to a place where the most exciting thing happening is a new Netflix recommendation.
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to loosen up, laugh more, and bring back some playful energy. Here are 10 signs your bedroom is way too serious and how to fix it.
1. The Only Game You Play in Bed Is “Who Fell Asleep First”
Sure, sleep is important. But if that’s the only competition happening under the covers, it’s time to upgrade to actual bedroom games for couples that spark a little laughter (and maybe some blushing).
2. Your Sheets Haven’t Changed Since University
If your bedding screams “budget student digs,” it’s not just your décor that’s stuck in the past. A fresh set of sheets can instantly reset the vibe.
3. You Both Bring Phones to Bed (and Not in a Fun Way)
Scrolling TikTok in silence until you pass out? That’s not romance, that’s digital cohabitation. Time to swap the screen for a couples game that actually gets you interacting.
4. You’ve Stopped Laughing in Bed
Serious conversations? Necessary. Pillow fights, bad jokes, silly dares? Equally necessary. If laughter has left the room, it’s a clear sign the bedroom needs a reboot.
5. Every Gift Exchange Is “Practical”
Matching pajamas, slippers, socks. Cute? Yes. Memorable though? No. Couples don’t need another candle. They need a fun couples gift that spice things up. (Hint: a novelty or gag gift does wonders.)
6. You Only Use the Bed for Sleeping
Beds are for sleeping… but not just for sleeping. If the most exciting thing your bed has seen lately is fresh sheets, it’s time to introduce some playful bedroom games.
7. “Date Night” Means Ordering Takeaway Again
Hey, we love pizza as much as anyone. But if your Friday night routine is identical to last Friday (and the one before), you might be stuck in a loop. Add some variety with games that keep things lighthearted.
8. Your Bedroom Décor Is 50 Shades of Beige
Minimalism is classy, but if your bedroom feels more like a hotel than a home, it’s missing your personality. A novelty gift or quirky accessory can inject instant fun.
9. You Can’t Remember the Last Time You Played Together
No, we don't mean Monopoly or Uno with the kids. Just you two. Play is essential for connection. If your relationship has forgotten how to be silly, a playful couples game might be exactly what you need.
10. You’ve Never Said “Remember That One Time…” About Your Bedroom
The best gifts, games, and moments become inside jokes. If your bedroom has no “legendary stories,” you’re overdue for a funny twist, a little something that will have you both saying, “Remember when we tried that?”
Time to Lighten Up
Your bedroom shouldn’t be a stress zone or a snooze-fest. It should be a place for connection, laughter and a little fun.
So if you’ve nodded along to most of these signs, it’s probably time to spice things up. Whether that’s with a silly couple's gift, a playful new bedroom game, or the combination of the two (we’ve got that here), the important part is that you’re bringing back the fun.
Because no one ever said, “Wow, I really miss those serious, silent nights.”
