If you’re like us and look for any excuse to spruce up your living space, chances are you’re finding new ways to refresh and redecorate for every holiday (official or not).
Whether that’s looking for pumpkin-themed decorations for Halloween, or maybe some Year Of The Rabbit decorations for Lunar New Year – the bottom line is we love a design challenge to break up the decorating slump – and the season we’re decorating for as of late is: love season.
February 14, Valentine’s Day. A day to celebrate the ones you hold near and dear – whether that’s your partner, parents, best friends, children, or sister – there are many ways to show them just how much they mean to you.
Although we’d argue that it’s important to show your appreciation for those around you often (not just on one day), Valentine’s Day is a great reminder *and* a great excuse to host a dinner party or an at-home date night.
So, if you’re inspired to go the extra mile this year for Valentine’s Day, it’s time to start thinking about ways you can decorate the home for the occasion. And no, we’re not talking about hanging up tacky, too-bright-for-their-own-good cut-out heart garlands and calling it a day. Below, we’ve rounded up the best Valentine’s Day decor pieces that will add hints of romance without being over the top.
