Red and pink hues have long been associated with love, so what better way to ignite some romance at home this Valentine’s Day than with some thoughtfully curated interiors? Forget cliche red roses and fluffy teddy bears, we’re talking about designer investments that won’t look out of place in your home long after the day of love. From berry gingham placemats perfect for hosting an intimate dinner to thoughtful gifts we know they’ll love, read on for our picks of the best Valentine’s Day interiors.
For the dining room
If your ideal Valentine’s Day involves a hearty home-cooked meal and a glass of wine, we’ve got you covered. Spruce up your dining table with British bedding company Piglet in Bed’s berry gingham placemats, that perfectly pair with Le Creuset’s cute heart ramekins (perfect for filling with those all-important Valentine’s chocolates). If cheese is the way to their heart, instead opt for Laetitia Rouget’s hand-painted plate and decant the malbec into a stylish Polspotten glass pitcher in a matching purple hue.
For the bathroom
What's more romantic than a bubble bath with champagne on tap? Diptyque’s best-selling Roses candle is a fool-proof present for anyone struggling to know what to get their other half, as are Piglet in Bed’s berry mauve stripe towels made from sustainably sourced zero-twist cotton. We also love Flor's bath mat which will make a colourful floral statement in any bathroom and has been crafted from recycled cotton. Finally, replace bland mirrors with a pop of colour courtesy of Anthropologie, which has created this lilac version reminiscent of a floating cloud.
For the lounge
The lounge is one of the most versatile rooms in the house and can quite literally change with the seasons. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to splash out, allow Valentine’s Day to provide the perfect opportunity. Swoon’s Willows loveseat is available in an array of colours, but it would be remiss not to indulge in the blush velvet if you’re putting in an order in February. London-based artist Imogen Pope has created an array of frilled lampshades, and we’d wholly recommend the striped cherry version to brighten up any dull corner of the room.
For something more unique, Scandi design company Normann Copenhagen has created a range of Instagrammable stools made from 100 per cent recycled household and industrial plastic. These can work as pedestals for your champagne glass, Valentine’s Day bouquet or the delicate flared candlestick holder from fellow Danish brand Hay.
For the bedroom
Treat yourself to a blush-hued duvet set from Joro Home this Valentine’s Day – which will last into the summer months thanks to its lightweight organic cotton fabric – as well as Italian brand Missoni’s Atacama cushion in rhubarb to complement your bedding. Match with Ruggable’s Teresea checked pink rug, while Seletti’s melted heart porcelain mirror won’t look out of place on any dressing table, and can also double up as a photo frame to showcase your favourite snaps of you and your beloved.
