Valentine’s Day, which consistently falls on February 14 every year, is a time for many of us to celebrate affection and love. It’s also a special day that’s celebrated in many different ways worldwide. In addition to having plans romantic dinner plans with your loved one,  you can also impress your significant other by applying these Valentine’s Day-inspired decor ideas to your home. Best of all, these ideas can last throughout the year!

Dress Up Your Bedroom in Warm Colors

Oftentimes, a bed is the room’s key focus; quality linens can create an inviting effect. Dress up the bed with a set of warm-toned cushions, a knitted throw, and a quilt to add drama and dimension. Besides accessorizing, don’t forget to opt for a great quality mattress as well as plump feather pillows. Roman shades are another great addition to consider, as they can soften a room as well as block early morning sunlight and cold air. This is great for the uninterrupted beauty sleep you will need after the special evening you’ll have on Valentine’s Day!

Play Around With Different Colors

While we recommend warm colors for Valentine’s Day-inspired decor, don’t limit yourself to just red. While red is the color of passion, it can be done in variations and shades. Accessorizing is a great way to incorporate elements of the color of love without overdoing it. With the right textiles, you will be able to create a warm and cozy feeling without being too cliche.

Ambient Lighting for Setting the Mood

Many homeowners choose ambient and low-level lighting to set a romantic and sensual mood. These kinds of lights also give you the opportunity to create an interesting storyboard of you and your loved one as a couple, in the form of carefully-crafted art collections within eclectic frames.

Flowers Always Work

Beautiful flowers always promote romance.  If you are looking for more intimate options, consider using a small bunch of violets or primroses, and place them in eggcups, vintage ink pots, perfume bottles or other improvised vases. You can also opt for anemone to adorn any bedside tables and mantelpieces, allowing their rich velvet petals in crimson and deep purple to beautify the room.

Bring the “Cornfield” Indoors

For the true romantic who desires a simple look, using a posy of ox-eye daisies daisies, cornflowers and some grassy seedheads is a great way to bring the cornfield indoors. If you prefer a more sophisticated look, look for chincherinchee, which is a stunning white-flowered stem that can stand alone.

Candles Will Come in Handy

Once you’re done choosing the furniture and other elements, the last thing to do is light the candles. Although we recommended ambient lighting earlier, the unique flickering effect of a candle’s flame can add magic to the entire scene.
