Valentine’s Day is the perfect romantic holiday for beautifying your home and surprise your beloved one by creating the perfect atmosphere. Falconcrest offers stunning and simple-to-do décor ideas to prepare your home for the romantic holiday.

More than your average bouquet

Fancying up the usual bouquet of flowers is an easy way to make a statement in your home. Florals instantly create a warm, inviting atmosphere in the home. Put a twist on your typical arrangement with some inexpensive additions. Those heart-shaped hard candies that grace the store shelves every time this year are–let’s face it—not that tasty. In their array of muted blue, pink, yellow however, they are actually quite lovely. A transparent vase filled with the candies that match your chosen bouquet give an extra stylish and unique touch to the classic floral arrangement.

Mantel & Shelf Displays

The traditional red, white & pink palette mixed with heart-shaped décor looks festive and romantic every time. Adorn your fire place mantel, or a large shelf with pillar candles, roses, jars of candy. Re-doing your home’s picture frame displays and placing them at the center of your valentine’s décor arrangement offers a sentimental surprise as you and your loved one reminisce over the beautiful times shared together. Of course-you can always go with store-bought garland to string along your mantel front. If you’re the creative type, you can craft your very own personalized heart garland by gluing twisted squares of red and pink tissue paper onto cardstock hearts.

Chic & Unique

For a chic take on valentine’s décor, choose only pink or red (not both), and combine with non typical valentine’s colours, preferably neutrals like white and black. This makes your décor less theme-y and more sophisticated. Choose decorations than veer from the norm, such as these white ceramic angels. For a chic and unique valentine’s day wreath that it is a cinch to craft, make this stunning sheet music wreath.

Hung in a black frame, this wreath adds beauty and charm to your home, without being too loud. Simply split a foam wreath form in half, covered it in cream-color satin ribbon, and hot-glue two layers of sheet music cones to it in a circle. You can even pull decorative items from around your house to complement the hand-made wreath. A wrought-iron candleholder, and a small box with a quote (“Love: Two Hearts, One Love”) finish the display in style.

Rose Petals & Pretty Plate ware

Table settings set the ambience for a special dinner at home. Start with the basics by choosing your dishes. Time to dust off those beautiful pieces of fine china that you have stored away for the most special of occasions—they are meant to be used at times such as this. If you don’t have fine dining pieces, you can use everyday plate ware in pretty patterns, or solid white will do just a beautifully. Fresh rose petals make a lovely accent to your napkin rings, and a scatter of petals on the table top turns your homemade dinner into a breathlessly romantic setting.
