How to prepare the house for Valentine´s Day

The most romantic day of the year is coming, but that doesn't mean that only couples should celebrate it. After all, February 14 is also a good time to celebrate self-love and take some time to pamper yourself. Therefore, in collaboration with the habitissimo, we leave you 5 tips to prepare the house for Valentine's Day.

• Decorate with flowers and candles

A house decorated with flowers looks good at any time of the year, but it always gains a special charm on this day dedicated to love in all its forms. So, spread out some vases with your favorite flowers from Valentine's Day, whether they're bought or picked in the field, and complement the decor with some aromatic candles, which add color and a special aroma to the house.

• Create ambiance with textiles

Red is the color most associated with Valentine's Day, and therefore, it may be a good idea to bet on one or another note in this color. A good way to remember the date in the decoration without spending a lot is betting on red or pink patterned textiles, another symbol of the date, which are especially good if the home decor is more neutral.

• Use the best dishes

Take your best crockery, cutlery and glasses out of the cupboards and use them for this special occasion, even if you're alone. After all, this is a day to celebrate, and by tradition, we prepare grand banquets and well-groomed tables on these occasions. Complement it with a flowered centerpiece, or made with candles, and the perfect atmosphere is created.

• Prepare a relaxing bath

Have you ever seen in a movie or magazine a soaking tub filled to the brim, with plenty of foam and a few rose petals scattered here and there, maybe even with a glass of champagne visible on a tray. Well, our proposal is that you recreate that environment at home. It's not too much work, and it does a huge amount of good for the body and mind.

• The perfect lighting

An inviting decor that is at the same time mysterious and full of shadows perfectly matches Valentine's Day. To achieve it, use the glow of the candles complemented with the light of a few spot lamps, which illuminate just enough. With just this little trick, the atmosphere at home will change radically.
