15 EASY VALENTINES DAY DECORATING IDEAS

(YOU HAVE TO TRY)

#1 CAKE STAND WREATH

This is such a simple idea that makes a bold statement.

Simply take 7 or 8 multi-colored foam hearts and place them on top of a white cake stand. Then add a glass candle holder and white candle to complete the look.

I found my package of foam hearts at Target, but you can get them at Michael’s, Amazon-similar, or Hobby Lobby – similar also.

I used my cake stand wreath on our entry console table, but it would also look adorable as a dining room centerpiece.

#2 WRAPPED PRESENTS

We use this little trick all of the time for the Christmas season, so why not bring it out for Valentine’s Day!

Simple wrap a couple of boxes that you have lying around the house with pink wrapping paper, and attach Valentine’s Ribbon. Then make a beautiful bow to add a little drama.

You can sprinkle these little cuties anywhere around the house to add a touch of pink cheer.

#3 PINK HEART-SHAPED BASKET

Use a pink heart-shaped basket, galvanized tin, or paper mache box to add a little romantic whimsy to your home or party. Can’t find a pink one, then spray paint it!

I’ve had my little heart basket since we got married, and I still find a million ways to use it each year.

Prop it on it’s side to use as a decorative accent piece or use flat to serve bread & candy, or store remotes and bath accessories.

#4 XOXO WALL SIGN

Try hanging a galvanized tin XOXO wall sign in a bookshelf, or above a gallery wall full of family photos. It breaks up all of the other accents, and brings in a playful vibe.

*I found mine tin xoxo sign from Hobby Lobby, but am having a problem finding the link – sorry! *

Or you could also try a tabletop version to use on an end table, coffee table, or entry console table.

#5 FIREPLACE MANTEL HEART GARLAND

Try a DIY Pom Pom Mantel Garland (post is ready) to your living room fireplace to add some cheerful colors this Valentine’s season.

The bright colors of the foam hearts really pop off of all of the white shiplap and brick fireplace surround.

Doesn’t it just make you happy? Me too 😉

#6 VALENTINE’S DAY WREATH

This pink tulip medley wreath is perfect for welcoming your guests not for only Valentine’s Day, but for the entire spring season as well.

Use it on your front door to add a ton of color to the winter “blues,” or use it indoors to accent a wall or mirror.

#7 HEART-SHAPED POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS, & TEA TOWELS

Don’t forget about adding simple touches of heart-shaped accessories that you can use every day also.

Try valentine-themed pot holders, oven mitts, aprons, hand and tea towels.

Use them in your kitchen or dining room, or even in your powder and guest bathrooms.

#8 COFFEE MUGS & COASTERS

Like the more “functional” items mentioned above, coffee mugs are also a great way to spread valentine’s sentiments with your family and friends.

Use mugs with “love” expressions to share with your girl friends over coffee or hot chocolate gossip sessions!!

Remember those foam hearts? Use a couple of them for instant coasters. Love it!

#9 PINK BUFFALO CHECK THROW BLANKET

Nothing says “come on over & snuggle with me,” like a soft throw blanket during the winter months. And who could resist this adorable pink buffalo check one – right?

It adds a little farmhouse chic style to the decorations, and keeps it from looking too girly.

Bonus: I already had it from my Pink Pumpkin Patch Fall Home Tour, so I just pulled it back out again.
