Here is how you can add a little love to your home with these 4 simple & sophisticated tricks that will help you decorate for the upcoming Valentine’s Day.

1. GLAM UP WITH PRINTS

Pretty drizzles of prints are the best way to make a space feel cozy and intimate, thus making them a Valentine quintessential. Moreover, it doesn’t take much to make the prints really pop against the dull and dreary February weather.

How to achieve this mood?

a) Create a gallery wall with frames of decorative printed imagery, ranging from tropical to minimal

b) Do up an entire wall with your precious chinaware adorning a mix of traditional & contemporary prints (especially the timeless indigo & white combination)

c) You can’t get much easier than tossing a printed cushion onto your bed, armchair or sofa!

2. THROW HINTS OF LOVE

It is the little things that matter the most! Surprise your partner by dropping little hints of love, in the most unexpected places and in the most unexpected ways. A quick & inexpensive tip that doesn’t take up much storage space and doesn’t require you to change your existing décor.

How to achieve this mood?

a) Hang in love tags and notes on his/ her favorite reads

b) Throw in some red colours of romance and intimacy

c) A dozen roses is the tradition, but just one or two blooms placed on his/ her desk can be equally charming.

3. LET LOVE BE IN THE AIR

What is more romantic than stepping into a home that savour’s your favourite scent? The scents that we surround ourselves with are actual mood enhancers and they can help spice up things and make one feel relaxed and at ease. Whether your partner is having coffee on a beautiful morning or reclining in their favourite armchair with a book, the amazing smell of

their regular coffee/ tea with the fragrance of leather furniture can be indicative of the memories you both have made in those spots!

How to achieve this mood?

a) Aroma candles and essential oil will easily cast their magic

b) Flowers & freshly-baked cookies are another great options

c) Even though scent preferences are very personal but a few natural options are universal in nature like cinnamon, fresh lemon (citrus smells) & coffee
