To inspire you, we are providing some tips for filling your home with love this Valentine’s day..

Get an antique piece

Nothing says romance more than a well-loved item that has been passed through the generations. Plus, retro decor elements keep on giving.

A lovely chair that once belonged to an old lady who loved to sit on it and knit, a chest of drawers that held someone’s belongings from childhood to maturity.

Or even a vintage device like an antique telephone or gramophone. Such items are infused with love.

So bring some of that love into your home and go find yourself a lovely vintage piece.

Buy a canopy bed

Canopy beds have a dream-like quality to them; with their magical drapery, they look like something out of a fairy tale.

Back in the days, wealthy people would add their luxuriously carved canopy beds to the will, leaving their beloved dreamland to be enjoyed and admired by future generations.

Therefore, if you want to romanticize your bedroom, there is no bigger statement than getting a canopy bed.

They also offer the added benefit of waking up every day feeling like the king or queen of your own house.

Pay a visit to the linen store

Revamp your bedroom and choose Luxurious satin beddings for an elegant look or flowery ones for a more rustic vibe, they both inspire romance.

To infuse even more romance throughout the house you can get a new set of nice fluffy towels for the bathroom as well as some flowery throw pillows for the sofa.

Whatever you choose, new linens always add a soft romantic touch to your home.So pay a visit to the linen store or the linen section in the nearest furniture store and splurge this Valentine’s day.

Have someone portray you and your loved ones

Portraits add more personality and romance to the house, they convey love and familial ties in a beautifully framed message.

Portraits give more of an impact than regular photos do, mostly because they take more time and effort. Also because they are almost always done out of love.

Find a good artist and have them portray you and your loved ones, hang the portrait in your home and voila; love in the air.

Plant a rose bush

Gift yourself and your house the gift of eternal blooms. Flowers have been the best representatives for love since the beginning of time, and a plant that blooms every season is even better because it speaks of never ending love.

If you happen to have a private garden plant a rose bush, or get a miniature one for your balcony or even find a small indoor plant with flowers.

This is a gift that keeps on giving. A beautifully colored garden is a gift that you will enjoy for a very long time.

Put a Wall Mural

Wall Murals are all the hype this year, They also add a brilliant piece of wall art. Why not add one that inspires romance as well?

Wall treatment is a timeless decor option for those looking to brighten up any room in the house.

Whether it’s the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or living room, wallpaper serves as a fairly easy and cost-effective way to make your walls shine.

Choose something romantic but factor in how it will work with the room decor, maybe elegant roses with a soft color that goes will with the painting or even treat yourself with a Swarovski Crystal Wall Art to add more sparkle.

Try light dimmers

Light dimmers are devices used to lower the brightness of light; changing the lighting of a room instantly transforms the atmosphere of that room.

Light dimmers provide you with the option of setting the lighting and the mood of the room as you please.

You can easily convert your dining room into an elegant restaurant this Valentine’s day with the simple addition of a light dimmer.

Add some scented candles

The most obvious tip for adding some romance, but it is a classic for a reason. They brighten and freshen the place.

Scented candles add romantic lighting and an alluring perfume to any given room.

Try not to go for the obvious though and pick red heart shaped candles, better opt for something more elegant like tall white candles with romantic oriental scents such as vanilla or musk.

If you are looking for an affordable choice that brings peace and tranquility into your home this Valentine, add some scented candles.
