Love is very much in the air – if you happen to wander into homeware shops at the moment, you are bound to spot décor drenched in pale pink and vibrant red, adorned with charming heart shapes everywhere.
As a self-confessed hopeless romantic, I wish this atmosphere stuck year-round, not just in February ahead of Valentine’s Day. If you, too, long to bask in this heart-warming feeling no matter the season, why not make this holiday’s themed décor your new interiors aesthetic?
Start by updating your sleep space with bed linen embellished with dainty floral prints, pleated lighting, ruffled cushions, and tactile throws in calming tones. In the kitchen, use heart-shaped décor and crockery to add character to open shelving, and patterned bath mats and plush towels in vibrant shades to uplift your mood whenever you step into the bathroom.
Whether you’re spending this holiday out and about with a partner or a group of friends, or prioritising self-care at a spa or in the comfort of your home, invite romance into your interiors and set a nurturing mood that lasts way beyond Valentine’s Day.
Also on my radar…
If you are after bigger home improvement project ideas, know that moody, velvety hues such as dark red and deep aubergine are predicted to continue to be popular in kitchen design in 2026. Burgundy, while it oozes an utterly romantic allure, is equally timeless and incredibly versatile, suiting a range of kitchen styles, from classic to contemporary. Plus, it looks particularly beautiful when paired with natural wood and warm metallics. Click here to get inspired.
And if you’re tired of urging your significant other to cut their shower short on busy mornings (if the space and renovation budget allow for this), why not go double? This type of shower oozes a sense of luxury, taking an ordinary ensuite to the next level.
