Valentine’s Day is a great time to add a little love to your home. Buying some flowers for the kitchen island might be a given, but there’s so much more you can do! Take it a step further with these five decor aspects that can inspire love in your home.
1. Lighting
Natural lighting is always ideal, especially when it’s supplemented with ambient and accent lighting. An equal balance of sunshine and intentional lighting can totally change the feeling of a home. Put every light you possibly can on a dimmer to control the mood of your space, and if you’re feeling extra romantic, add a crystal chandelier for a glittery effect.
2. Wall treatments
Before you choose a wall treatment, think about the basics of the room. The architectural features, the quality of the light, the room’s proportions, and the fabrics and furniture you plan to use. Think about how the wall treatment will look and work with the room. If you’re trying to create a romantic environment, add as many soft shades and hues as possible.
3. Furniture
When furniture shopping, take your time. If you need extra help, don’t hesitate to contact a design professional for assistance. Learn what styles you love, and don’t be afraid to cultivate your home to reflect who you are. This will create a much more interesting space than one that mimics a furniture showroom.
4. Soothing spa
Masters bathrooms are often the largest in the house, so there are a ton of unique options available. Do you want multiple shower heads? A sauna, spa, or soaking tub? Go for it. This is the space to splurge, because it’s probably the most luxurious area in the house. Go for options that are both soothing and functional, and you’ll absolutely love your space.
5. Fireplaces
Family rooms should be comfortable, warm, and cozy. Fireplaces are amazing for creating this feeling. Imagine cuddling up with your significant other and watching a movie to unwind at the end of a long day. Perfect, right? Strike a match or flip the switch, and let the ambiance begin.
