Romanticising Your Space For Valentine’s

Valentine’s day is approaching, which can be a reminder to romanticise the everyday, and recognise the beauty within your home. Try these simple steps to style your place this week, and boost those cozy, fuzzy feelings- just for you.

Start with lighting. Why not turn off those harsh overhead lights, and switch to softer alternatives? Lamps, candles or fairy lights can bring a relaxing mood to your space.

Next, buy yourself flowers- or simply head out into the garden, and bring the outdoors in. A bowl of fallen frangipani could be a sweet-smelling, delicate touch.

For decorating tips; think texture. This could be in the form of cushions and throws added to the couch, or a table cloth thrown over your table to bring a little whimsy to mealtimes. Check Op-shops for vintage and inexpensive pieces.
Now, for ambiance. Set a relaxing mood in the home with music, and turn off the TV now and then, to dial back and relax.
The simplest of all? Open the windows when you can. Make the most of that soft, Whitsunday ocean breeze, and let it refresh your mind, as well as your home.
