One of the best parts of Valentine's Day is decorating.
You can find wonderful opportunities to decorate for this holiday just by looking around your home. Popular materials include extravagant parchment papers, silky cuts of fabric, and satiny ribbons. You can use these in the colors of the day such as red, pink, and white. Here are a few ideas to help you get started decorating for this holiday.
Kitchen Bulletin Board
Need to decorate a bulletin board? Flowers and hearts are an easy way to brighten up a plain memo board. First, do something unique for the background such as covering the entire board with holiday wrapping paper. If you want to be really extravagant then use a tablecloth in your chosen color schemes. Then put a fun border around it, and put hearts of all shapes and sizes all over it. Next, add a fun saying or slogan to your board. You can make it something quirky like "Be My Valentine" or something religious such as "God Is Love." Finally, include some pictures of family members. You can also leave space to add any Valentine greeting cards received from friends and classmates.
Dining Room Table
If you are planning a party , there are a number of foods that you can use to celebrate the day and decorate your home too. You can purchase or bake heart shaped cookies covered with in pink or red frosts. Accent with sprinkles in other colors, and place on a heart shaped tray to display. Chocolate are also an appropriate option. Show off these heart shaped treats on crystal dishes or your finest white china. For the kids, you can set out paper cups filled with candy hearts, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. For the grownups, chocolate mousse with whipped cream in decorative glasses makes a stunning display.
Living Areas
Another great way to make any room in your home look beautiful for the holiday is through the use of candles. Maybe, you even have some extra from Christmas to use. You can place them in candleholders or simply use rings of silk flowers and greenery for ones that will not be lit. The scent of the candles is not as important as their appearance, so save the green for next Christmas and only display ones that are pink, white, or red.
Home Office
There is one final area you can decorate -- your office. But don't worry if you have already used up all of your decorating supplies in other rooms, here you can use virtual decorations.
