My feelings regarding Valentine’s Day have undergone a serious renaissance throughout the course of my adulthood. It took a couple of decades to get to this point, but I am now at a stage of my life where I positively love this holiday. Now, there is a lot I DON’T like about it as well – how commercialized it is, not to mention how exclusionary it can feel when you don’t receive the cliché bouquet of roses and sweet nothings on February 14 – but the good far outweighs the bad in my opinion. Any day that, at its core, celebrates love and togetherness is my kind of day. In anticipation of this Valentine’s Day, I have put together this collection of simple Valentine’s Day decor, full of natural, budget friendly touches guaranteed to inspire you to dress up your home and let the love in.
I am ALL about finding cost effective ways to celebrate the daily joys in life, particularly surrounding holidays. This year, I am keeping the following tips in mind as I decorate my own home for February 14.
How to Incorporate Simple Valentine’s Day Decor Into Your Home
- Natural elements like wicker wreaths and plain branches make the perfect basis for pink and red embellishments.
- Cutout hearts reminiscent of childhood can bring life and love to any space.
- Everyday items like simple white doilies or a pairing of plain white balloons and red lipstick can go a long way.
- If pink and red aren’t your thing, not to worry. There are plenty of ways to incorporate a neutral palette of black, grays, and white into your Valentine’s Day design.
- If all else fails, a simple, fresh bouquet can brighten up even the darkest of spaces.
