Decor ideas for valentines day

 Adding Valentine’s Day decor to your home doesn’t have to be complicated.  Just follow these 7 simple ways to decorate for Valentine’s Day.  It’s time to show the love!

 ADD IN SOME RED

Nothing says Valentine’s Day more than a few pretty pops of red and it doesn’t take much to make the red really pop against the white!  I used a couple of Love mugs, a felt LOVE banner, and a red heart plate {from the dollar section of Target last year}.  Just these few items really transformed the buffet into a pretty Valentine’s Day vignette



USE VALENTINE’S DAY CHOCOLATE OR CANDIES

Using seasonal chocolates or other candy is an inexpensive {and tasty!!} way to add some color to your Valentine’s Day decor.  Use wrapped chocolates or place candies in covered glass containers.  One of the good things about decorating with chocolate is that you don’t have to store it at the end of the season. Just a warning that it may need to be replenished frequently



USE PRINTABLES

One of my favorite things to do each holiday season, is to come up with some printables to display.  They are definitely the quickest and most inexpensive way to add that seasonal decor into your home.  You can find my previous free Valentine’s Day printables HERE {including the xoxo printable at the top of the post} and I have some new ones for you to download too!  Just click the links below or at the end of the post.



 ADD SMALL VALENTINE’S DAY SIGNS TO YOUR REGULAR DECOR.

I picked up a couple of these wooden love tags from Michaels, and added them to the lighted trees in our dining room and a winter wreath in our front entry.  You can often find little signs in the dollar store or Target that can easily be added to decor items that you already have up.  They’re inexpensive, don’t take up much storage space and don’t require you to change up your existing decor.  Just layer, layer, layer



CREATE A SEASONAL BEVERAGE BAR.

This is another favorite of mine!  We don’t drink coffee around here, so hot chocolate is our go-to hot beverage of choice.  I’ve had lots of fun coming up with new hot chocolate bar set-ups over the years and always switch it up for the different seasons.  If you’d like to create your own Valentine’s Day Hot Chocolate bar you can check out my free hot chocolate bar printables HERE and free hot chocolate bar labels HERE.  I told you I love printables! 😉



ADD A VALENTINE’S DAY THROW PILLOW

You can’t get much easier than tossing a Valentine’s Day throw pillow onto a bench, chair, or sofa!  If you’re short on space, look for a pillow cover that can just be added over top of one of you current pillows.  The tree is from my Christmas decorations, but the red berries fit in perfectly with my red and white Valentine’s Day decor!


Let's go and ready home for the special day

Tips to decorate wall

  1. Go for large-scale art An oversized painting or photograph will command attention and set the tone in a small space. Try a black-and-white photo in a minimalist space or add color with a vibrant abstract piece, as pictured above in  Taylor Rooks’s  Manhattan bedroom. (Check out our guide on to  where to buy art online  to source striking and affordable pieces.) 2. Curate a gallery wall Nothing adds personality and color quite like a  gallery wall . Display a collection of art or photographs, or add wall  hangings  and other ephemera. Opt for simple, cohesive frames or bring in an array of ornate variations to mix things up! Pro tip: Extend the gallery wall to the ceiling to create the illusion of a larger space. 3. Incorporate an accent wall In addition to displaying objects on the walls, think about decorating the walls themselves. Try out a bright and bold paint color to create an accent wall, or bring in pattern with  wallpaper , sten...

How to make room romamtic

  What makes a romantic bedroom? 1. Let’s start with your bed. It needs to look as inviting as possible. Big plumped up pillows and crisp, freshly laundered sheets all beautifully made up, are key to making your bed look appealing. Try bold colours like a  black headboard  to add a sense of drama. Think 5-star hotel! 2. It’s also important to clear away any clutter. You want to make your bed the main feature and clutter will simply distract. If you’re inclined to use your bedroom as a ‘floordrobe’, now is the time for a serious tidy up. 3.Creating romantic lighting in your bedroom can make all the difference. Make sure that your overhead light is switched off –it can be unflattering as well as just too bright. Either use soft glow bedside lamps or groups of tea lights in pretty safe holders to create the mood. If they are lightly scented, so much the better. White is a much more romantic colour than red for lighting, which has been shown to cause stress rather than desire...
