A strong and striking accent, bright red can put in a fashionable touch
Bright red is an amazing colour for making your Valentine’s Day night all the more special. Best of all, sometimes it is as easy as just adding a few accessories into this palette to set the mood for love. Here’s how to sizzle it up with a hot red palette and Vday-inspired decor.
Making Red Work
The secret to pulling that Valentine’s look together is to get your reds right. It’s definitely a strong and bold colour, so you’d need to make sure you don’t over do it. For Valentine’s Day décor, red is best used as an accent like accessories and soft furnishing. You can also go slightly off-red into maroon or dark pinks to balance the palette. Pick a grounding wall colour like browns or greys. Red furnishings work well with pale and dark neutrals – white walls, wood floors, natural stone – or as a rich matte counterpoint to metallics.

Think About Your Theme
There’s more to Valentine’s décor than just splashing everything red and putting hearts and roses everywhere. Think about the look and feel that you want to achieve – do you want a sexy-classy look? Or something slightly kitchy but super trendy? Perhaps you want to liven things up with a hearty doses of sweetness. Then pick your decorative items based on these moods. It helps to have a moodboard on hand to narrow down what’s hot and what’s not for your chosen theme.

Pick Your Accessories
The sky’s the limit out there as there are so many decorative accessories to choose from. With your theme and style in mind, see what works for which space. For instance, red buntings, garlands, wreaths and signs are good for both indoors and outdoors; red table runners, tablecloths, centerpieces, red tableware and glasses will help you to create a beautiful table setting while red roses are, of course, an ubuiquitous element to inject a Vday vibe to your spaces. Don’t forget candles! They would help you to create a romantic atmosphere and fill the place with love and tenderness.
From bedding and upholstery to smaller things like vases, mugs and more, red is a wonderful colour for accessories
