Decorating for Valentine’s Day in Subtle Ways

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!
