Four heart pumping design tips that will make your Valentine melt

Although the calendar reads February 14^th, 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!

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!)

 

How do you decorate romantically?

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.

Winter Hibernation? Bring it on with Colour

Designing rooms that have a sun-kissed glow, in the dead of winter, starts with colour. Nothing brightens a space more than tangy tangerine, rich reds and bold purples. While we don't recommend painting your entire abode in these vibrant shades, we suggest accenting a space with vivid patterns, floral prints and plush mats with splashes of these sunset colours.

ORANGE CRUSH

This mercurial tint brightens a room with little effort. Naturally edgy and energetic it brings life to a dull space. To minimize this hues intensity, add some neutral shades.

CUSHION COMFORT

Set the mood with a soft, plush mat that provides cushion underfoot. Texture truly has the ability to combat the winter blues and a mat with padding brings depth to a space while keeping you cozy.

PURPLE PASSION

Once upon a time this shoddy shade was seen as retro; however purple no longer sports a dated look, but rather takes on a youthful appearance. Bold and lavish it continues to pop up in current colour trends. Versatile and contemporary, it enhances a lackluster space with its bold vibe. Pair this passionate hue with a neutral palette to intensify the colour.

 

DAZZLING RED

Bold and beautiful, a dash of red adds an intense flame to a space by dressing it up. We suggest sticking to deeper reds as they look rich in comparison and can easily transcend into other seasons.
