Decorating for Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be over the top. My home in general is mostly decorated using neutral and muted colors and more on the minimal side. Even though I enjoy the occasional pop of color, I really gravitate to the neutrals. So when it comes to Valentine’s Day, I like to be more subtle about it. I really enjoy when the decor doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day, but instead just gives little reminders of love. In fact, a lot of the items I have used can really be left out all year! Decorating for Valentine’s Day in subtle ways can be beautiful and so appealing!

How can I decorate for Valentine’s Day in subtle ways?
Here are Four Categories of Subtle Valentine Decor
The idea is to sprinkle some of these things here and there throughout your home.
Love Phrases: “xoxo,” “I love you,” “you and me,” etc. on signs, ceramics, sculptures, banners, planters, pillows, letter boards, etc.
Love Sign Language/Symbols: the “I love you” sign or heart hands on similar objects
Hearts: on objects or as pillows, bowl fillers, garland, sculptures, etc.
Pinks: add pops of pinks with pillows, candles, vases, garland, flowers, planters, throws, frames, wreaths, etc.
