February is the month of love, and there are few other things in a home more romantic than a gorgeous sunroom. With the right decor, your sunroom can become a cozy spot for you to spend time with those you love this Valentine's season.
Love in Bloom
Red roses are a
Valentine's staple, and having a bouquet in your sunroom will not only enhance
its atmosphere, but also sweeten its fragrance. If you don't have an admirer
sending them to your door, then give yourself some love and pick up a dozen.
Cutting the stems every few days and changing the water regularly will make the
blooms last longer. For a lower maintenance alternative, real touch
silk flowers offer the same great look as fresh flowers, without the
hassle. Plus, they'll last all year long.
Hearts Afire
The best thing about
decorating a sunroom is the opportunity to use natural sunlight in your design,
and stained glass heart-shaped sun catchers do the job beautifully in
February.
If you're going to have
little ones visiting your sunroom, consider getting some fun window gel
clings- kids will love to help decorate. The clings are simple to stick to
windows and fun to play with, and younger ones will enjoy being able to see
their decorations from the outside of the house as well. They're easy to remove
when the season is over.
How Do I Love Thee?
Because of the natural
sunlight, sunrooms are the perfect place to read. Enhance your Valentine's
decor by placing a few stacks of books of love poetry around, and
take the time to leaf through them on a quiet afternoon, or read them with
someone you love as the sun sets.
Lovely Lace
Lace doilies might seem
like something you'd find at great-grandma's house, but everyone can get away
with them as part of their home decor for Valentine's Day. Channel the lacy
homemade valentines of the past by adding some simple white
doilies to your table surfaces for a romantic touch. Because they also
resemble snowflakes, you can even leave them up after Valentine's Day and enjoy
them throughout the winter.
Cozy Comforts
There's nothing more
romantic than watching the sky turn from blue into shades of orange, pink, and
purple as the sun sets, and your sunroom is the perfect place to enjoy the
view. Add some throw blankets in shades of Valentine's pink and red, and
light a scented candle or two to soften the transition from dusk to
nighttime and add a sweet fragrance to your sunroom space.
