How to decorate a Valentine’s Day Table

January 25, 2019 by Vikram Goyal

Valentine’s Day table decor is the perfect way to bring back that loving feeling to your home interior design. The great part about Valentine’s Day dÈcor is the fact that red is such a central decorating color. Red is energizing! †Maybe†you miss your colorful Christmas decorations, but haven’t quite entered the spring mode yet, and a Valentine’s Day table decoration might just be what you need. If you need a boost of color to brighten cold winter days, a red Valentine’s Day table design will draw interest to your dining room or kitchen area.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with Linens

Colorful Valentine’s Day fabrics can be found at most craft stores, and eye-catching linens and textiles can be used to bring drama to the room. Some suggestions for table linens include colorful napkins, red placemats, and heart designed table runners. These decorative fabric elements can be used to bring color and pattern to your dining table or kitchen table. Valentine’s Day is the holiday that represents love, so allow textiles and linens that have red as a central color to bring a festive mood to the table. Red is a vibrant and daring color so take advantage of the festive holiday color.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with a Large Red Vase

Your table needs to have a dramatic centerpiece or focal point, so why not allow a large red vase or pot to set the tone for your indoor Valentine’s Day dÈcor. Red vases can be found in various shades and sheens, so choose one that adds a refined elegance to your table dÈcor. Red vases come in sizes ranging from ginger jars to large floor pieces, so a moderately sized one makes a strong impression without being too bold or too large. A red vase that has a translucent glass will add a touch of formality to the room.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with Shiny Accessories

Metallic accessories that have a sparkle bring a sense of adornment to the table area. Some options for add a bit of shine to the table include metallic candleholders, brushed nickel heart accents, or silvery berry branches. These accessories have a subtle shine that makes a Valentine’s Day table come to life.

Valentine’s Day table decorations can create a festive atmosphere for this romantic holiday. One of the exciting elements about Valentine’s Day dÈcor is the fact that red is such an important decorating color. This color can be incorporated into linen selection, table accessories, and Valentine’s Day appeal. If you need a colorful way to brighten cold winter days, a Valentine’s Day decorative design will bring cheerfulness to your dining table.

Book Review: The Festival of Lights

As if Diwali weren’t colorful and fun enough, The Festival of Lights: A Lift-the-flap Diwali Celebration by Namita Moolani Mehra, illustrated by Darshika Varm, makes it even more fun to read about with flaps and things to lift and pull to see more information or details in the illustrations. 

The book is a story about a family getting ready for Diwali and what happens on the different days of the five-day celebration. There’s cleaning, shopping, crafting, food preparation and getting the home altar ready for the big day. 

It covers decorating the outside of the house with rangoli, diyas and lanterns, buying sweets to share with family and friends, the sights and scents of the mandir (home temple), getting dressed up in new fancy clothes, the story of Diwali and celebrations with relatives.  

Flaps (there are more than 140 in all) give you vocabulary words for different foods and definitions, as well as fun things like what’s inside the shopping basket or where the cat is hanging out. They also help illuminate the story of Diwali, which is the triumph of good over evil as Lord Ram defeated the demon Ravana to save his wife, Sita. 

This pretty and colorful book helps kids understand what Diwali is and how it is celebrated, regardless of whether they practice it at home. This would be a nice book to keep in a classroom (it’s rated for kids ages 3-7) or to have at home to teach kids about Diwali even if it’s not something you celebrate. Where I live there are a lot of people from India so we are probably exposed to Diwali more than some other regions of America, but it’s a nice holiday to know about wherever you live. 

Combine with the book Diwali and check out some fun lantern crafts and printables for kids to round out your experience. 

About the book: 24 pages, hardcover, published 2025 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail prices $22.99.
