Home is Where the Heart is: Decorate with Love this Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and the team at HOMEPOINT has put together some

ideas on making your home more romantic and warm for the season of love. Whether

hosting a special someone for dinner, or on your own, there’s no harm in adding love

into your space. This year, we’re feeling a white Valentine.

Romance in the Dining Area:

Why not combine dry white flowers with eucalyptus leaves and real white roses for a

unique, romantic touch in the center of your table. A decorative centerpiece will make all

the difference and certainly uplift your usually simpler table set up.

 If you’re going for Something truly magical, switch off the lights and aim for a candlelit dinner instead.

Candles always add a touch of warmth to the mood.

Valentine’s is a special time and we think it is time for you to bring out the beautiful set

of metallic cutlery and fine glassware you’ve been saving for a special occasion. Your

guests will feel appreciated and your dinners will truly stand out.

Another way to spoil your guest is with a simple message expressing your love and

care. Write or print your message on a card and place it on their plate to read when they

sit down for dinner.

In that same space, you can put a cloth napkin folded into something special.

As for the table setting, we recommend keeping it simple. White plates act as the

perfect canvas for the food you’ve prepared. So, choose dinnerware that will allow your

food to be the star of the show.

Also, make sure that your tableware matches your menu. For larger set menus, we

recommend smaller bowls and plates to reflect the size of the courses. For sharing

menus, big serving bowls and platters with tongs and serving spoons are much more

useful. Aesthetics are important, but so is practicality.

For the finale, surprise your loved ones with a delicious, decadent dessert! Try to be

special and unique by serving special cakes in heart shapes like these ones from

@SweetnFrosty with a bottle of champagne!

Love in the Living Area:

If we could bring love into your living area, we would break our newest, most

comfortable sofa, the Alana, along with our best-selling armchair Flora.

We’d also use rugs to warm up the space instantly, something simple. Then, we would

add smaller textiles like cushions and throws.

We would also add white flower bouquets with plates full of heart-shaped chocolate

from @Sweetnfrosty to your coffee tables like the Nelson coffee table or the Nelt tables

in these photos. To really amp up the romance, we would light candles with a diffuser so

you could smell the love in the air.

If you wanted something more fun, white and silver balloons will go great when popping

open that bottle of champagne.

Warmth in the Bedroom:

The romantic and warm Valentine’s vibe is easily extendable to the bedroom. Consider

adding a small vase, white roses, and/or candle to your nightstand for a little something

extra.

We also recommend that you always have double pillows and quilts to achieve a fluffy

and cozy bed. Our choice of bedding is in white and neutral colors, which is why would

also add a beige throw to the bed.
