Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love the hearts and the roses, the chocolates, and of course all the pretty home decor. When I first moved into my home, I changed around a few things, and in the mix of that. I lost my true dining room. It was definitely bittersweet. However, a couple of years ago. I decided to revamp my living room and add a living room/dining room combo. I knew this would take a lot of creativity. My home is under 1k sq and trust me. It reminds me daily. That I have to stay organized and get rid of clutter. What I didn't want, was for our living space to look a mess. Cluttered, too many bulky furniture pieces etc. I did a lot of research and found the perfect couch at Wayfair and table at Ikea. I still remember the day the couch was delivered. I'm so used to purchasing furniture and having it delivered and installed. That I was like "oh my" and got straight to work with getting the couch inside our home when I found it outside. I wanted to wait for the couch before I purchased our table. I had the measurement. However, I wanted to make sure aesthetically it looked right for our space. I drove to several stores and finally stopped at Ikea. I found a couple of options. However, I wanted to make sure we had the right height as well. Especially, with young adult children. I purchased our table and the Mister put it together for me. Having this table has brought me so much joy. If you follow me on social media. I create various themes throughout the year. I try to change the tablescape monthly. I'm happy that I finally have the chance to provide you a couple of tips. It really doesn't take much to do a tablescape for Valentine's day. Just a little creativity and a budget. Today I'm sharing some simple tips to assist you with putting together the perfect tablescape.
Use What You Have
You will be surprised at the items that you already have in your home that would be perfect for your Valentine's Day tablescape. If you love the colors red or pink. Your home is probably already a gold mine. I first like to check through my Christmas decor to see if I have any items that could be used for my tablescape.
Inspiration
Do a quick Google search for Valiente's Day and see what look you're going for. Shabby Chic or even glam. What style speaks to you. Of course, Pinterest is an amazing resource as well.
