The Valentine’s Day Love Shack

Red evokes feelings of romance, love, and strength. Decorating with pops of red awakens a neutral palette with all those sentiments, especially for that special touch on Valentine’s Day. Done correctly, so it’s not overwhelming, it’s a touch that can actually have a long-lasting design appeal.

Here’s a 360-degree look of love in the most romantic room in the home – the primary bedroom.

Corner – A red velvety or faux fur throw blanket over a corner chair, chaise, or ottoman adds a warm and inviting feel just perfect for getting cozy.

Bed – A red silky/sateen accent bed pillow creates a look that’s soft and sexy. Flank it with a red vase, candle holder, and picture frame on the nightstands. Placing a runner in front of the bed with subtle red accents in the background vs. foreground subtly pulls that area together.

Wall – Across from there, a red mirror or red art on a wall rounds out the intimate look and feel you’re going for.

Of course, on those very special days toss some red or pink rose petals around the room to take it to the next level – that’s always in style.
