You can bring out the Valentine's Day vibe with heart-shaped accessories, or go for a more subtle approach with delicate red accents. Place them on a sofa or in an armchair, and it will take on a completely different character. You should also think about a stylish sofa cover. This piece of furniture usually takes center stage in the living room, so the other colors in that space have a huge impact on the perception of the entire space.

Remember, however, that a unique dining experience is not complete without the right setting. Otherwise, it will become just an ordinary meal, like every day. Take care of the tablecloth first. It doesn't have to be red or pink to create a romantic mood, but opt ​​for something solid and elegant. The same goes for dishes - for one evening, give up the plates and cutlery that you use every day. Thin glasses always look great, and well-chosen glasses (suitable for white or red wine) add elegance. Let everything stylistically harmonize and give an effect straight from the best restaurant. However, there is always a place for a charming, strong accent on Valentine's Day, such as napkins with hearts.  

It is also worth making sure that the table looks really special. This is the perfect time to use rarely seen items and accessories. Are you planning to serve wine or juice? Pour them into a stylish decanter. Will you have dessert after dinner? Use a serving plate. Don't forget the candlestick too - there's nothing more romantic than a candlelit dinner.

Flowers are the perfect decoration for Valentine's Day, whether you choose a huge bouquet or a single rose. Remember, though, that you don't have to place them directly on the table. The most important thing is that it is convenient for you to eat, and the flowers will look equally good on a chest of drawers, a closet or even on the floor (!) - a rather large stylish vase, which is an interior decoration. myself.

Living room lighting - a way to change the mood

With all these preparations and decorations, it's easy to forget that they aren't the only ones responsible for the mood in the room. One of its key elements is lighting. With intense artificial lighting straight out of office buildings, even the most designer accessories may not fit. We advise how to prepare the living room lighting.

First of all, do not use strong lighting in the room - a large chandelier with many bulbs will not work in this case. Instead, opt for several small lights strategically placed throughout the room. Thanks to this, you will get a pleasant twilight effect, without the feeling that you are sitting in the dark. Use a floor lamp and small decorative lamps.

In the case of a date on Valentine's Day, it is better to choose a warm and even subdued light. In this case, smart bulbs are the ideal solution, as they allow you to adjust the intensity or even the color of the light.

The so-called cotton balls. These characteristic light strings have become increasingly popular in Poland over the years. No wonder - they are stylish, relatively inexpensive and easily combined with the style of the room. They run on batteries most of the time, so you don't have to worry about whether they're close enough to an outlet.

By themselves, cotton balls do not give much light, but are a nice accessory to create atmosphere. You can literally place them anywhere: from typical places, like a chest of drawers or a wardrobe, to a window sill or sofa headrest. And in each of these cases, they will look great. With their help, you decorate the table itself. Place this set in a large glass bowl or clear vase and you have an interesting alternative to a candlestick.

Candles - scented and more!

Candles are one of those elements that are simply impossible to do without when celebrating Valentine's Day. It is a timeless accessory that alone can create a romantic atmosphere in a room. Our advice - instead of two large candles on the table, you should put several smaller ones scattered around the room (in safe places, of course!). A characteristic, slightly flickering light will give a truly stunning effect.

However, candles can not only look beautiful, but also enchant with their unique aroma. Good scented candles are a unique accessory that works well not only in case of a date - a pleasant, unobtrusive scent will give you a feeling of relaxation in everyday life. In the case of scented candles, you should choose established brands such as Yankee Candle or Blomus. Prices for individual products are higher than what we are used to in supermarkets, but it's really worth it. Their smell is very natural and does not cause fatigue or the desire to ventilate the room at any time. In addition, such a candle does not go out so quickly, which simply lasts longer. Even people who used to be a bit skeptical about scented candles are worth the risk. The effect is sure to be surprisingly pleasant!

Valentine's Day is the time for you!

With all this preparation, remember that Valentine's Day is primarily a time for you. A moment when you can relax, enjoy your beloved and make sure that a smile appears on her face. And a little effort is worth the unique effect.
