Firefly Lighting

Lighting is one of the keys to achieving a Valentine's Day decoration that works. Creating a favourable and welcoming environment with lighting is essential. But not every type of lighting is useful, but the one that brings warmth to the environment. Avoid lights with cold tones.

Candlelight makes everything more romantic

Can you imagine William Shakespeare sketching Romeo and Juliet by candlelight? All that romanticism embodied in his work came, apart from his admirable prose, from the typical way of writing in those years. Authors took advantage of any time of day to write, including at night. In the 16th century, when electricity had not yet been studied or researched, candles were a perfect ally to enjoy the night-time hours. These elements have always been used to create a romantic and seductive atmosphere, as they provide a relaxing atmosphere and even more so if they exude a perfume such as vanilla, roses or jasmine.

Scrolls full of love

Since we get romantic, why not bring out our most creative vein? Writing a poem or even a beautiful sentence on a handmade scroll like a letter can be an alternative for Valentine's Day. Place it in the room you wish to decorate, this way it won't just be something decorative, but will also have an extra romanticism with the contents of the scroll.

Flowers, the perfect classic ally

Flowers have always been an element linked to human relationships, used to show affection or as decoration: they are essential to create a romantic atmosphere. You can buy fresh roses or choose the ones you like best and place them in a pretty vase. Another way of using them can be to distribute their petals on the bed or floor.

A romantic dinner never fails

A thoughtful and lovingly made dinner never fails on Valentine's Day. But besides the food in question, it can be interesting and beautiful to decorate the table so that it looks elegant, sophisticated and personalized. For example, you can put candles with scents you like, napkin rings in the shape of a heart or even a tablecloth that looks elegant or gives coziness.
