With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there seems to be romance in the air, a song in the heart and a hop in the steps. And you also want to get into the romance and do something really special for your boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse. But don’t know where to start. Going to that five star hotel is a bit too expensive, so you want to create that ambiance in your home, but how?

This is how you create a romantic ambience in your home a la five-star hotels or restaurants.

1. The basics

Before you start decorating, do the basics like deep cleaning, set the mood with lighting, place candles in all strategic locations, switch bed covers from cotton to silk, sateen or satin. Swap out the heavy drapes for sheer lace drapes—there’s something eternally romantic about flowing drapes. Deep cleaning involves cleaning sofas, couches and mattresses with a vacuum cleaner. The idea is to get a house that is dust free. And sofas, sofas and mattresses accumulate dust that is not visible to the naked eye. Get rid of cobwebs, dust and vacuum clean the walls as well.

After cleaning, set the mood with the lighting. Turn off all the glaring lights and turn on your table lamps or floor lamps. Not only do they add to the cozy feel you are trying to create, they also look really good. You can opt for paper or stained glass lampshades. The choice is yours.

When you are done with that, now change the bedding of all rooms to either silk or satin, you can also opt for satin. To add more romance to your bedroom, you can opt for lace bedspreads. So you’ve taken care of the basics, now it’s time for the actual decoration.

2. Candy decorations

Take some red and pink heart shaped candies (easily available in stores) and place them in a pretty glass, ceramic, crystal or silver bowl and place where it will be visible but out of the reach of children.

3. Valentine’s Day Cookies

If you love to bake, then there’s nothing more romantic than the smell of freshly baked heart-shaped cookies sprinkled with red and pink icing. Share with your family to enjoy the true spirit of Valentine’s Day.

4. stuffed animals

Buy cute looking cuddly toys with love messages written on them or ones holding a romantic heart and place them all around your home. You can also hang them with the wind chimes.

5. Cupids and Angels

Display a collection of whimsical or traditionally elegant cherubs, cherubs and cupids to add a muddy feel to your home.

6. Heart shaped collage of family photos

Take out the family album, pick a few good photos from it – those from your first vacation together, your honeymoon snaps – you get the idea. Now take a cardboard and cut it into a heart shape, set aside, take a chart paper, place the cardboard heart on the chart paper and mark the chart paper with a scale and a pencil. Make sure there is a one centimeter difference between a cardboard heart and a chart paper. Gently stick the chart paper heart onto the cardboard and you’re ready to create a heart-shaped collage of family photos. You can decorate the border or heart with lace and ribbon. And you can create a collage for any room in your house.

7. Potpourri

Buy a beautiful potpourri and place it in the strategic positions in your home to bring fragrance and romance into your home.

8. Mirror

Mirrors not only add depth and dimension to the room, but also create a romantic ambiance. Decorate your home with mirrors of different shapes and sizes. You can decorate the edges with laces, ribbons or twine, or even red heart-shaped balloons.

9. Spread the joy with I Love You

Hang red heart shaped balloons, ribbons, strings in your home with the message of love. You can also hang small stuffed animals, red and pink hearts, heart-shaped wind chimes to enhance the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

10. Flowers and Music

Get fresh flowers and put them on the center table, the dining table and in every single room of your house. You can also decorate your home with the flowers. For example, take a bouquet of flowers and stick it on the front door and all other doors. Top picks include Calyx and Corolla, Gardener’s Eden, and harvesting the crop in Alpharetta. Tulips in red, white and pink or carnations add color to your home.

Now that everything is taken care of, you can sit back and turn on some soft romantic music that will compliment your efforts and add to the romantic feel of your home, just like a five-star hotel or restaurant.

These are a few simple ideas to get you started, and then you can use your own creativity and imagination to prepare a surprise that is sure to knock your partner off their feet.
