Spicy at-home date ideas for couples who live together

Chasing at home date ideas for you and your partner in Melbourne? It’s important to make time for fun even if you both prefer to stay in. It’s easy to take someone for granted when you see them all the time but research shows that couples with high relationship satisfaction also report having time for fun. So make sure your next date night at home doesn’t turn into another Netflix session with fun indoor activities like painting or embroidery. Getting creative is a great way to set aside some time in your busy schedule and be intentional with your partner.

When it comes to establishing or strengthening your bond, affection is a sure fire way to keep you connected and the best part about an indoor date is you don’t need to worry about any PDA. Learning proper massage techniques can help you spoil each other and feel more intimate. Try an online massage class and learn the basics. You can even discover how to make your own DIY skincare and essential oils to make the experience even more romantic. 

With the practical know-how, fragrant natural products and confidence, you’ll be able to set a particularly touchy mood and create one of the best indoor date ideas in Melbourne. Although this is one of the best date ideas at home, this is very much advised for couples who are living together. If you spring this on a first date, you’ll probably never see them again!

Looking at creating your own mood for your cute date ideas? Our DIY candle making craft kits pair perfectly with a bottle of red and some smooth tunes on in the background. Candle making is one of the more versatile home date ideas for couples and is also a fun choice if you’re looking to mix it up with someone you may just be seeing casually. Or if you’re looking to light a much bigger flame, get back out there and try glassblowing, a fun new date idea for couples in Melbourne. 

 

Saucy indoor date ideas for new couples

Just started seeing someone you rather fancy and want to spoil them? Thankfully a vast amount of our Melbourne workshops also offer their interactive classes online, so you can still impress that special someone with unique and cute date ideas in the comfort of your own home. Isn’t that convenient in so many ways?

One of our most popular choices when it comes to indoor date night ideas are our virtual cocktail classes! Coming in many shapes and sizes, our mixology courses are one of the most romantic things to do at home with your partner. 

Nothing sparks a new powderkeg romance like creating together, and if you haven’t thought of a painting class for your date ideas at home by now, then you’re behind the curveball, my friend. Perfect for first date ideas, putting a bit of effort in and transforming your living room into a temporary art studio both shows that you’re invested in the evening without coming across too strong (remember the massage thing?). 

With a growing range of art class providers, you’re truly spoilt for choice when it comes to date ideas indoors that have a slightly more colourful lean. Add in a few drinks, and a takeaway order halfway through, and you’ve got yourself one of the best date night ideas in Melbourne without even stepping outside your door.

Sweet date night ideas at home

If you’re on the search for something a little sweeter try your hand at baking a cake together (or better yet, decorating one!). What could be more romantic than making something delicious with your special someone? It doesn’t have to be complicated either; if you’ve got the basics like butter, flour and eggs then you can always experiment with the flavours. Better yet once the baking is done, it’s time for the eating to begin. Feeding each other handmade desserts is certainly one of the most romantic ideas for couples looking to spark some romance indoors.

With an array of dessert making classes available online, it’s never been easier to create something sweet together. From mastering macarons to perfecting profiteroles, these experiences are ideal for couples who want one of those classic indoor date night ideas without breaking the bank.

No matter how you choose to do your date ideas at home, it’s important to “read the room”, so to speak. It never hurts to get a bit of a guide from your potential partner over what they do and don’t like. Cocktail making is one of the best date night ideas at home for couples that are more familiar with each other, but maybe a bit too much if you’re chasing first date ideas. Luckily, there’s a huge variety of fun activities for couples at home or first date ideas in Melbourne with something perfect for everyone!
