Create a heartwarming atmosphere with simple decorations for Valentine’s Day. Dress up your home with flowers, candles, and other thoughtful touches by trying the tips and ideas below.
Ideas for Valentine’s Decorations
Design a charming vignette to celebrate the most romantic holiday of the year. Here are some ideas:
Garden Bench
Flank your garden bench or lounger with a pair of manicured topiaries to add polish and interest. Place potted spring flowers in groups near the bench to create the illusion of a flower-filled wonderland. This makes a delightful spot for photos with loved ones.
Balcony
Design an al fresco space perfect for relaxing in tandem. Place hanging baskets filled with flowers and coordinating potted arrangements near or around a seating area on your balcony. Spring garlands wrapped around balcony railings add to the romantic vibe. As a finishing touch, place some flameless candles in hurricanes or lanterns for a cozy glow at night.
Mantel
With the mantel often the focal point of the living room, putting together a Valentine-themed mantel display will elevate the romantic atmosphere in the space. Consider a framed romantic quote or your favorite artwork combined with a collage of your best photos and Valentine's cards through the years. Accentuate this with a floral wreath featuring your favorite spring blooms.
Tablescape
Whether you’re hosting a Valentine’s Day brunch with friends or a romantic dinner for two, on-theme table décor is a must. Design a centerpiece with a flower arrangement in vibrant, springtime colors. Tealight candles in small glass receptacles or larger pillar candles in lanterns add warmth and interest. Scatter heart-shaped foil-wrapped chocolates or place them in clear containers for an elegant – and edible – touch.
Foyer
Take a trip down memory lane by assembling framed photos and keepsakes representing your relationship’s timeline. Create a small vignette on your console table and the blank wall behind it, complemented by a potted floral arrangement for a spot of color. It will be a heartwarming surprise for your loved one when they walk through the door.
Insider’s Tip
Use lifelike artificial floral arrangements and greenery for your Valentine’s Day decorations to keep your display looking its best as long as you need it to.
