6 Easy Ways To Do Up Your Love Shack This Valentine’s Day

Love is in the air and romance is slowly seeping into our life. If it hasn’t reached you yet, make room for love at your home this Valentine’s Day with these easy decoration ideas. Doing up your home for the Valentine’s Day should be done with flair instead of putting some red rugs here and there and hanging hearts everywhere. It’s all about creating the mood subtly and stylishly, and preparing for those special moments with your special someone in the cosy corners of your abode. Here are a few ideas to do up your love shack.

Play with lights
Lights play an important role in setting up a warm, cosy and loving atmosphere at home. Ditch those bright lights and switch on the softer glows to create an intimate and serene ambience. Don’t forget the good old candles; you can even go for the scented ones. Candle light is ideal if setting up a sensual love den is on your mind. If you don’t like open flames, go for the flameless candles. Create a romantic corner, dimly lit with a candle and decked with flowers, and let the magic begin.

Flowers can never go wrong
If it’s V-Day, you must say it with flowers. But skip those boring vases this Valentine’s Day and place those beautiful blooms in unique ways all over your house. How about putting the petals in water-filled bowls with floating candles adding to the drama? Also, take a break from the ceremonial roses and enjoy the sensuous magic of tulips, lilies and orchids. If you don’t want to go overboard with flowers, go for single-bud placement rather than showering your beloved with bouquets.

Scent sets the mood
Nothing spreads like the aroma. Let the soothing and romantic fragrances fill the air at your love shack. You can easily do it with loads of aromatic candles and sweet-scented flowers. Burn some essential aromatic oils in a diffuser to create a sensuous ambience. Ylang Ylang aromatic oil is said to be a passion booster.

Satin sheets
Cotton bed covers are, indeed, comforting. But when it comes to having fun in bed, nothing beats the soft and luxurious feel of satin bed sheets. Don’t limit yourself to the traditional red colour; any hue that you love will do the trick. Just imagine the smoothness of satin sheets against your skin and you’ll know what we are talking about.

Chocolates for fun
Even if you are on a diet, stack up your refrigerator with chocolates. If you are not eating them, you may need those for some midnight fun with your love.

A soothing bath
Nothing can be more romantic than a soothing and sweet-smelling bath after a tiring day. And it may pave the way for a fun-filled night. So don’t forget to load your bath with bubble baths, body washes and gels in smells that shout pure passion. Keep bathrobes in place and don’t forget to finish the happening bath with a glass or two of your favourite wine.

Finally, do remember that decorating for the Valentine’s Day is not about going overboard but providing subtle hints!
