Cheerful and Bright Decorations

As Valentine’s Day draws nearer, getting your bedroom or your entire home ready for the day often means inserting plenty of heart-shaped motifs and a ton of red. Garlands made out of bright red paper are the obvious choice and they help invigorate everything from the stairway and the headboard wall to the fireplace mantel and the entryway. Bright ‘hugs and kisses’ signs, glittering words that shout out ‘Be Mine’ along with some lovely candles et the mood ever so perfectly. For those who prefer a more minimal approach, there is the gorgeous red heart on the wall that seems even more striking thanks to the white backdrop.
