Valentine's Day Ideas for Home

Different Valentine’s Day themes call for special décor to set the right mood. With soft touches, rich fabrics, and elegant accents, transforming your home into a cosy, love-filled space is easy.

Pink Accents

Valentine’s Day brings warmth, love, and romance. Adding blush pink touches can instantly create an inviting atmosphere. A Remi Velvet Cushion in dusty pink adds a subtle touch, while a velvet occasional chair makes a bold, elegant statement in your living room. Incorporate pink accents like fresh roses, cushions, or chairs to bring femininity and romance to your space. And for a classy touch, our Winston Bar Stools in pink are perfect for a stylish drink with your loved one, blending comfort, elegance, and a pop of colour.

Roses and Candles

Fresh roses are a must for setting a romantic Valentine’s Day mood. Create stunning centrepieces for your dining table, coffee table, or kitchen bench with red, white, and pink roses. Display them in vases of varying sizes and warm, vibrant colours to elevate their look. No romantic scene is complete without candles. The gentle flicker, warmth, and scent of luxurious candles add a touch of intimacy to any space, be it your dining area, living room, or bedroom.

Valentine’s Day Themes

Fall in love with your home this Valentine’s Day by creating a cosy, romantic setting for a night in with your loved ones. To help you style your space for this special occasion, we’ve put together some Valentine’s Day themes that are sure to set the mood and transform your home into a haven of love.

Pink Hues

Soft pink shades bring a feminine, dreamy touch to your home, setting the perfect tone for a romantic night in. Add subtle hints of dusty pink with bar stools in your dining area or a bouquet of fresh blooms for an elegant, sophisticated vibe. Blush pinks and neutrals are chic alternatives to traditional red or bright pink, creating a serene yet charming ambience. To keep it simple, use smaller accents like soft pink cushions or an occasional chair to add warmth and pops of colour without overwhelming the space. These touches will elevate your home's atmosphere and make it feel extra special. 

Colour Blocking

Your Valentine’s Day décor doesn’t have to be all pink—combining pink with a contrasting shade adds depth and balance, blending feminine charm with a touch of masculinity. For a stylish contrast, pair pink with deeper tones like blue or burgundy. The play of colours is not only trendy but creates a sophisticated and harmonious feel. For instance, a pink occasional chair paired with a bold blue sofa gives your home a romantic yet balanced atmosphere. Enhance the look by adding soft pink accents, like a plush throw or floral arrangement, to soften the blue's “seriousness” and make the space feel more inviting and relaxed. This balance of hues elevates your décor for a romantic setting that's modern and effortlessly elegant.

Hints of Red

Red is bold, just like love, making it the ultimate colour for passion and romance. While some may shy away from an all-red theme for Valentine’s Day, you don't have to miss out on the vibrance and warmth this shade brings. Incorporate hints of red for a balanced, elegant touch—think rose petals scattered across a table, red candles glowing softly, or a stunning accent piece like the Grenache Chair.

Pairing dusty pink with burgundy adds depth and sophistication, seamlessly blending with most colour palettes. Don't be afraid to layer different tones and textures to create a richer, more luxurious look. A mix of soft pinks and deep reds can evoke a feeling of romance without overwhelming your space, offering a balanced yet striking atmosphere.
