Curtains add a touch of delicacy to the décor, heavier drapes, especially the ones in velvet, can give the room a luxurious feel.

RED ALERT

Yes, yes, we didn’t forget red. The colour of love is ideal and foolproof on the day of love. Interior designer Shantanu Garg says, “You can add various accents in this hue to your living room. You can go for red candles or candle stands and place them on your centre table. Want to add a little drama to your sofa? A nice stole in a rich fabric like brocade will do the trick. In case you don’t have a stole available, search your closet for a thick sari or shawl in any shade of red.”

Home décor expert, Saba Kapoor says that fairy lights in shades of red and pink come in handy as an excellent lighting option as well as for creating a romantic vibe. “Put them in clear jars or wine bottles and place them at different locations around your living room,” she says.

For those who are not so much into red, décor expert Raseel Gujral suggests, “Brighten up the décor with cushions to set a cosy mood. To add a fun vibe, play with neoncoloured cushions, designed with quotes, phrases or joyful words.”

AN INTIMATE FLAVOUR TO MEALS ART ATTACK

Have you thought about declaring your love on a wall? Gestures such as handmade paper hearts or DIY planters not only look super cute but could also get you in the good books of your special someone.

If you are not up to wallpaper art, then Sarita Handa, interior décor expert, says, “Take old photographs and frame them in rustic wooden frames. Use different sizes and make a collage for an artsy feel. Arrange them aesthetically on a neutralcoloured one, to create the perfect wall art.”
