As Valentine’s Day approaches, we have put together our top ideas for romantic decor. Whether you need a last-minute gift for one of your Valentines or you need to spice things up in your projects this year, here are ways to include love and passion-invoking elements into your interior designs.
Red Hot Love
The color red invokes passion.
Red is a highly stimulating color. It brings out passion, aggression, and energy. At the same time, however, red is associated with hearts, love, food, and flowers
- Pairs well with neutrals, especially black & white.
- Don’t over saturate – too much is, too much.
- Red works best as an accent.
- Have fun with it – be daring and creative!

Making Me Blush
The color pink represents love and compassion. While in American culture, pink is categorized as a feminine color, it is thoughtful and non-threatening. It symbolizes unconditional love and is perfect to evoke love and nurturing for the whole household.
- Pairs well with many colors
- Many different shades to work with
- Rose gold may seem like a trend that could go out soon, but it is a great way to incorporate “pink” without being too feminine.

Champagne on Ice
Liven up an environment, with items that lead to a good time. The best way to get people in the mood or feeling passionate is with music and alcohol. Lift spirits or have romantic evenings or breakfast in bed mornings by designing spaces to include a home bar or if working with small spaces, use bar carts.
