Valentine's Day Decoration Ideas For Home That'll Make Your Special One Swoon

Well, as they say, nothing says 'I love you' like red roses. Red roses are considered a symbol of love by traditionalists across the globe so what better way to bring your Valentine's Day decor come to life at home with the help of the beautiful blooms? To keep the wastage to the minimum (because flowers eventually die and don't come cheap), opt for a bouquet of red roses and keep at it on your table along with the gifts, cards and other things you have planned or, place them on a corner table in an elegant vase to give the room a romantic touch.

Nothing beats the feeling of receiving a hand-made card with a personalised message from your special one. It's cute, thoughtful, personalised, and always does the trick because handwritten declarations of love are top-tier. There are days when your partner needs a reminder of how much you love (and support and respect and a list of other hundred things) them so let it be through this! You can display this card near the gifts to make it look like a Pinterest mood board.

If you are spending your Valentine's Day at home, it only makes sense to make your supper a memorable one. Please skip the takeout Chinese or pizza and try assembling a cute grazing table with a few of yours and your partner's favourite snacks. Decorate your grazing table with a few candles, roses and DIY heart-shaped napkin holders and food name cards if you don't mind putting in the extra effort. We know this will take a considerable amount of energy to execute, but it will definitely be worth it.

If you are putting in the effort of making everything look romantic and aesthetic, your everyday dinner plates and glasses just won't cut it. Bring out the fancy crockery, cutlery and wine glasses that have been collecting dust in your crockery cabinet. We want everything to look elegant and magical like the prince's ball from Cinderella.

The warm glow of candles bring that feeling of romance to any corner you add them to. Your Valentine's Day decor for home would definitely be incomplete without a few candles here and there. If you have knowledge of what sort of scents your partner likes then put it to use and use scented candles and if you have candlestands then even better!

For Valentine's Day, why not decorate your bathtub (if you have one) Valentine's Day appropriate and surprise your partner with a romantic bath straight out of an American rom-com? All it takes is a few candles, rose petals, a few-heart shaped cut-outs, and a bottle of bubbly. If you don't have a bathtub, you can still light a few candles, put on a romantic playlist, and create a whole vibe for their evening shower because it's always the little things.

Try making each detail as personalised as possible. Play your partner's favourite romantic songs to set the mood, dress up smartly, and if you have bought a gift for them, try to wrap it up all nice in a cute gift wrap with a name (or message) tag. Also, if you both enjoy a particular game or like ludo, monopoly or simply dancing, whatever might be it, then this is the best time to engage in it and make this day even more memorable for the two of you.

For those planning a Valentine's Day movie night for their bae, make it extra cute by assembling a tent in your garden (or your living room) with all the essentials you would be needing — popcorn, drinks, pillows and a blanket to keep you both warm and comfy. A lazy movie night can be turned into a special one if you pull a few things together for your loved one.
