The holidays are over, and spring is still a couple of months away. Take advantage of the gap—and Valentine’s Day—by showering your home with love.
Valentine’s Day Home Décor Ideas
Keep reading for half a dozen ideas on how you can unleash cupid in your own home, including an after-school treat your kids will love.
Playing Card Garland
All you’ll need is a few decks of cards, a hole punch, red or pink string, and some colorful ribbon to make darling garland. Simply punch holes in all of the “hearts” cards and use your ribbon to tie them onto a long string.
Create a Hot Chocolate Bar
Set up a hot chocolate bar to surprise your children when they get home from school—and leave it up for a long weekend. Fill mason jars with homemade marshmallows (you can even use cookie cutters to make them into hearts), cinnamon candies, chocolates, peppermints, and whatever else you can think to use. Put out some darling mugs and use a chalkboard to advertise your menu. Remember to be creative with your napkins, tablecloth, and tags for your jars.
DIY Love Blocks
These DIY Love Blocks, courtesy of Craftaholics Anonymous, are for people looking for a challenge involving sanding, painting, and decoupaging. The result looks great on a bookshelf, mantel, or desk.
Paper Party Pack
Not so crafty? No worries. This Valentine’s Day Paper Party Pack from Amazon is an easy way to make your house festive for the big day.
Show Some Love to Your Mantel
We go all out with our mantel for Christmas, but it’s also an easy way to bring love into your home to celebrate Feb. 14. Instead of using only red, think about using a soothing palette of pink, white, gold, and silver—just like A Shade of Teal did. (Isn’t the pink-and-gold heart ribbon wreath darling?)
Crayon Hearts
Leave it to Martha Stewart to turn plain old waxed paper into something special. These crayon hearts are a fun project for kids and adult to work on together—and they’ll definitely add cheer to any décor.
