Four heart pumping design tips that will make your Valentine melt


Although the calendar reads February 14th, we should not subject ourselves to romantic decorating just once a year. Try these hidden touches that are romantic, yet cozy.

L’amoure Pink and Red
These two distinct colours were once seen as faux-pas when it came to mixing and matching. However, such beautiful hues can create an inviting retreat, where the bold red audaciously charms and compliments the pink palette. A definite décor match!




Send a Love Note
Let your décor do the talking with written memos and inspirational words.
  


Writing on the wall
Want to make a bold impact? Take a door mats and hang it on the wall to transform this piece from traditional use to art-nouveau.

Love Medallions
Look familiar? It might. Recently saw these gorgeous medallion walls on Lini Interior Design. It sparked huge interest since the neutral white colour beautifully contrasts the pop out wall art. To compliment this design, we suggest pairing some paisley and floral patterns with this room (which we highly recommend trying to duplicate!)

Super 'Floor' Sunday!

Get super-bowl ready with colours that show your team spirit.  Whether you’re rooting for the Patriots or the Giants here are some delightful designs that add a proud punch to the surroundings. Creating a homey and comfy feel remains important, so choose enthused palettes that are still on trend.

Singing the Blues with Patriot Pride
Naturally crisp, the airy Patriot blue gives a room a beach-feel. Throw in some accent pillows or throws to complement. Also, don’t forget to wear your jersey in the same buoyant shade. Your guests may root for the opposing team but you’ll feel as though everyone’s a Patriots fan!




Ravishing Red Giants
Innately vibrant, red sets the stage and creates a dynamic and personal space. As bold as it is, it adds a pop of colour that transcends and transforms a dull look into a room full of passion. The great thing about decorating with red, in the month of February, is that it performs dual duties – announces that you are rooting for the Giants and provides an easy switch-over as Valentine’s Day approaches.

Remember, Remember the 11th of November


Lest we forget that this day memorializes all the soldiers who fought and died in battle. To commemorate such valour, we have some inspiring design motifs that are sparked by this day.

Look to the Poppy
Base your design off the symbolic poppy. With its bright red and dark black center, it’s sure to inspire.



Use these mats with red as the dominant colour to further your Remembrance Day design:
