weekly design inspiration: refined romance
Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to infuse your home with love, warmth, and an air of refined romance. While heart-shaped balloons and candy hearts have their charm, we prefer a more sophisticated take on Valentine’s Day. From floral arrangements, to lighting, to artwork, we’re taking you through three of our favourite ways to dress up our homes for the holiday! Fall in love with your home by shopping our favourite, romantic decor from Homeful here.
flower power
Flowers are the quintessential symbol of love and affection. However, instead of opting for the typical bouquet, choose subtle and sophisticated floral arrangements! Select a colour palette that complements your home's decor – soft blush, deep red, and creamy white are timeless choices. Arrange roses, peonies, or ranunculus in vintage vases or elegant glassware. Scatter them strategically around your living space – on the dining table, sideboard, or bedside tables. These understated floral touches are the perfect subtle nod to the day of love!

lighten up
Candlelight adds an intimate and romantic touch to any space! Choose unscented candles to avoid overpowering fragrances and place them in candleholders. Group them in varying heights and sizes on your dining table, mantel, or even in the bathroom for a spa-like atmosphere. Consider using mirrored or metallic candleholders to reflect the flickering flames! The soft, warm glow of candles instantly transforms your home into a sanctuary of love and affection while simultaneously warming up those chilly winter nights!

made with love
Incorporate personal touches into your decor by showcasing meaningful artwork, photographs, or keepsakes. Create a gallery wall with framed photos of cherished moments spent together! Hang artwork that holds sentimental value, whether it’s a place you visited, or even a receipt from your first date! Display things like love letters, notes, or even your wedding vows either in a frame or on the coffee table. These personal touches make your home feel more intimate and remind you of good memories!

Design Tip: If you can’t sneak away for a romantic night away from the kids, make it a family affair and create handmade decorations with the family to put out next year!
