Valentine's Day Hosting 101
Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate love. Whether hosting a cozy evening for your significant other or a lively Galentine's gathering, we have versatile decor items to help you set the perfect mood. Here are five simple tips to create a festive, stylish atmosphere:
Embrace Valentine's Day Colors & Motifs
Pink and red are the recognizable colors of Valentine's Day and are ideal for creating a romantic environment. Our Shoppe has plenty of red, pink, white, and gold decor items this season. Incorporate traditional Valentine's Day motifs such as hearts, flowers, and ribbons. Draping our Heart Garlands across walls or placing them over mantles is a great way to do this. In the Shoppe, we draped the heart garland across our mantel and tied various ribbons with Antique Brass Hearts to each end to embellish a flirty feel. The picture above is the finished result!
Light Up the Room with Candles
Candles are essential for creating a warm, romantic glow. Our Pink Hobnail Taper Candlesticks complement Valentine's Day themes, lit or unlit. Place them on a coffee table, mantel, or dining area to elevate and frame your space. An easy method to turn any candlestick holder into a darling Valentine's Day decor piece is to tie ribbons around the stem. We've done this with the candlesticks on our mantel, which ties everything together. See the picture above for the completed look!
Sweeten the Space with Treats
No Valentine's celebration is complete without something sweet. Display your favorite desserts or candy on our Wrapped in Love Cake Stands, which make the perfect place for cupcakes, cookies, or other treats. Our pink Kyandi Compotes are functional and charming, ideal for holding candy, fresh flowers, or small trinkets.
Cozy Up with Soft Textiles
Transform your space into a cozy haven with soft textiles. Layer pink and red throws in your living room to add warmth and color, and Cotton Dish Cloths in your kitchen to carry the Valentine's Day cheer throughout your home. It's the perfect way to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for all to enjoy.
You can create a charming, warm Valentine's or Galentine's Day atmosphere with just a few thoughtful details, even when on a budget! You can always use canisters, candlesticks, and other decor items you own and spruce it up with ribbons and flowers. We also offer plenty of decor items that are perfect for Valentine's Day but also great for spring and can be used beyond February. Visit our Valentine's Day page on our website to see more.
