Valentine’s Day is only a fortnight away and you are probably looking up ways to make the day special for your beloved. Have you considered giving your home a facelift to impress your partner? Maybe your partner knows you as an incurably untidy person- then why not change that assumption? Or maybe you want to give your spouse a break from cleaning and decorating- whatever your reason, changing the window decor is a good place to start.
Here we are sharing some tried and tested, but fail-proof, tips which will help you to create an impression in your loved one’s mind, especially if they are home decor enthusiasts.
Pay extra attention to the places where your partner or spouse is most likely to hang out while they are indoors and consider sprucing up the decor there. Red is the colour of Valentine’s Day but it does not necessarily mean that everything has to have a touch of red. Instead, this year, focus more on using a warm colour palette for the decoration where tones of red are included. Consider using roman shades in warm tones like rust or brick-red for your home. This not only makes your home feel peaceful and serene but also keeps the early morning sunlight at bay, ensuring a peaceful slumber.
Blinds are very useful as they are aesthetically appealing and allow optimum control over your privacy and the light. To live up to the spirit of Valentine’s Day, consider painting the slats of the blinds in red, pink or white. If you need to replace the slats, this might be a great time to get a good deal or find the perfect slats that exude the mood of this day.
Another innovative way to spruce up window blinds for Valentine’s Day is weaving a ribbon to add a pop of colour without much effort.
Embroidered drapes that skim the floor look elegant and have a dimensional depth. Drape these curtains neatly in various creative ways to emphasize the window. The overall look is very romantic. If you have a window seat, this can be the perfect frame for a romantic evening complete with a cozy space to cuddle and enjoy some memorable moments.
Setting the right mood depends a lot on your overall management and the lighting. If you have the perfect lighting to set the mood, you will not need an elaborate plan to make your better half feel cherished. The play of light and shade is the perfect way to set the mood and can be skilfully done with ambient lights and sheer drapes. Not only does the drapery and lighting create the perfect ambience together, but such low lighting and sheer elegant drapes can produce the right backdrop for Instagram-worthy couple pictures.
These are mandatory whether you are celebrating the day at home or outdoors. But when you are spending the day at home, you can get a lot more utility from the flowers and candles than just gifting a bouquet and a candle-lit dinner. You can make small bunches or wreaths of flowers that can be attached to the tassels and ornaments like the curtain-tie. Hanging garlands or flower bouquets and balloons as a cluster from the curtain rods is a beautiful option too. As for the candles, if you have a box-window, dormer window or bay-window, you can float them on a vessel and sprinkle rose petals on the water.
Dressing up shades is difficult because of their structure and construction method. However, you can creatively spruce up the top and at the sides of the shades. If you have a combination of shades and drapes, you can focus more on the draping style to make your window look appealing. Valentine’s Day decorations, cleaning the shades thoroughly, and overall use of the theme colours altogether can make your home appear Valentines-ready.
Creative window dress-up will be a superb gift, together with all the other surprises that you have planned for this Valentine’s Day. These suggestions on window treatments are a small part of the entire plan, and we hope you have a perfect ambience to make your celebrations memorable.
