Valentine’s Day Love Nest
February fourteenth is one of the most anticipated days in the year. Valentine’s Day is a day when florists see their business flower, chocolatiers find that their products have sweet returns, and greeting card companies end the day on a sweet note. Yes, there are tons of things you can buy or say that make the day special for that someone in your life, but what can you do at home that will make the day a little more romantic?
Decorating your home reminiscent of anything romantic is well, romantic! Paper hearts, cupids, paper flowers and red ribbons look giddily in love. Satins, silks, aphrodisiacs and succulent aromas meanwhile look sensually in love. Now that’s what I call, sexy.
Yes, I will say more. Just simple thoughts on these amazing fabrics. Satins and silks are well known as the sexiest materials in the textile industry. So that definitely says a lot, huh? You can use satin and silk for exciting “adventures” but one thing you can also use them for is for a romantic dinner. Employ either one as a dinner table spread or a picnic blanket for a more highlighted special meal. Alternatively, you can use it as your comforter while cuddling together by the fireplace. The texture is great on the skin and it just triggers the senses to be extra cozy.
Love doesn’t have to be symbolized by bright pinks and purples. Deep, rich colors in reds and purples can lend an air of sensuality that you just won’t find surrounded by shocking pinks and pastel lilacs.
Believe it or not, what your house smells like can make or break a romantic interlude. Yes, there are dozens of different brands of plug-in fragrances, but what you want is something a little more potent. If you want your house to smell like chocolate, slowly melt some chocolate in a pot on your stove. Not only does that create the delicious smell of chocolate in the house, you also have some pre-melted chocolate to go with that after dinner “dessert”. Fresh flowers also create a tantalizing aroma in any home. Buy 2 dozen roses, keep one to give to your sweetie and divest the other dozen of their petals. Spread the petals throughout the home to create a fresh scent that is sure to please.
Now that you’ve set the mood for a lovely Valentine’s Day at home, it’s time for the final number. No, not THAT. Not yet anyway. I’m actually talking about preparing for THAT. Create an opportunity for much snuggling and canoodling. Turn down the heat and make your place a bit chilly for some warm-giving sweet moments. Not the shivering to the bone kind of cold. That will end the night for you guys. Adjust the temperature for the cool kind where holding hands becomes sweet. I’m sure you know that it’s so much nicer to hug, kiss and snuggle when the temperature is low. It makes for a really good main event.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to just be about giving and receiving gifts. Creating an alluring oasis in your own home can certainly make memories that will keep you warm for years to come. Keep in mind that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be the only day of the year that you decorate in sensual decor. Dark colors, satins and silks, and delicious aromas can be a permanent part of your home style.
