Decorating Your Home for Valentine’s Day

Most people celebrate Valentine’s Day, which is traditionally a holiday that features flowers, chocolate and cards. But what are some unique ways to incorporate the romance of Valentine’s Day into your home decor?

Keep It Simple
One does not need to cover the home in rose petals and heart-shaped boxes of candy to give an effective nod to the holiday of love. Choosing one area to decorate is a great way to recognize a holiday season. Think about your front door, dining room table, a mantel or a kitchen table to add a decoration ‘from the heart.’

Choose and Reuse
Of course, fresh flowers are always one of the most gorgeous ways of decorating the home for Valentine’s Day. But when they die, it’s sad, and then they are gone forever! Consider instead a silk flower arrangement that can be used from year to year, or a silk heart-shaped wreath to decorate the front door. Major home retailers like Target and Walmart have decorating sections for Valentine’s Day that include decor that can be reused every year, which is an economical and environmentally friendly approach.

Light It Up
One of the easiest, most simple approaches to decorating the home for Valentine’s Day is the addition of candle light to your home. Whether it’s a bag of red tea lights scattered on windowsills, tables and other surfaces or three large red pillar candles on the dining room table, adding candlelight and the romance that accompanies it is a wonderful way of celebrating the most romantic of all the holidays.

Gifts from Nature
Whether you live in the country or near the woods, if you have a nature walk of any kind nearby, it’s often possible to choose from nature’s bounty to add a dash of romance to your home. Go for a walk and see if you can find a few branches of holly with bright red berries, or even if you have a Nandina bush nearby you can collect a few handfuls of its gorgeous red berries. A simple vase filled withcrimson berries would be a beautiful addition of the holiday’s most popular color.

Other small Valentine’s decorating touches for the home could be a pretty crystal bowl of heart-shaped Sweetheart candies, a collection of empty heart shaped candy boxes, silk rose petals on a table runner with pretty candlesticks, or a few heart-shaped frames…of course with romantic pictures inside!
