If you’re looking to add a little love to your home this Valentine’s Day, try these inexpensive Valentine’s Day home decor ideas that anyone can do!
Valentine’s Day is often overlooked when it comes to home decor, but a few hearts and pops of red can really help to brighten up those dreary winter days. If you haven’t decorated for Valentine’s Day before, give it a try!
Valentine’s Day Home Decor Ideas
I always love changing up our decor for the different holidays and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This year, I kept our Valentine’s Day decor very simple and added some snowy winter touches in as well. It really doesn’t take much to add a little love to your home, so check out these easy ideas that anyone can do!
Change Out Everyday Items
One of the quickest ways to add some seasonal decor to your home is to change out a couple of your everyday items. Things like dish towels, oven mitts, mugs, or even your dish soap! Since you use them every day, they’ll bring a little bit of love every time you use them. Corralling items onto a tray or other contained area will keep them within reach without making your space look cluttered.
I always do a quick seasonal display at our kitchen sink. It’s fun to change up and really only takes a couple of minutes. It’s an easy way to brighten up your day every time you have to do the dishes!
Search the Dollar Store
You can often find some really cute holiday decor at the dollar store. Probably half of our Valentine’s Day decorations are from there. I think these pretty white heart candle holders are my favorite and could really be used in your home decor outside of Valentine’s Day. I also got the heart mugs on our mug ladder, some cute Valentine’s Day kitchen towels, and all of the red heart melamine bowls and plates.
My other favorite place for inexpensive holiday decor is Home Sense. I also like searching local home decor and florist stores for more unique Valentine’s Day items. You never know when you’ll find something you love!
Create a Beverage Bar
Putting together a beverage bar is always one of my favorite things to do each season. It could be a coffee bar, hot chocolate bar, soda station, or any kind of beverage you like! You really don’t need a big space. A little side table or corner of your kitchen works perfectly. You can read more about how to set up a hot chocolate bar HERE or see more of this year’s Cupid’s Cafe Valentine’s Day hot chocolate bar HERE.
The drink bar in our kitchen is more for tea and steamed milk that I like to make. I keep the less pretty items {like the tea bags} in the cupboard directly above so everything needed is all in the same place and easily accessible.
Use Valentine’s Day Candy
Valentine’s Day candy is an easy and inexpensive way to add some Valentine’s Day color to your home. And, of course, as an added bonus, you get to eat it once Valentine’s Day is over and won’t have anything to store! Fill bowls or glass jars with red or pink candies for a pretty pop of color. Or add red foiled heart chocolates or Hershey’s kisses to any Valentine’s Day vignette.
Display Free Printables
There are so many beautiful free Valentine’s Day printables out there. You can definitely find something for every style and color scheme. Display them in photo frames or mount them onto colored or patterned cardstock for a more custom look.

Add a Throw Pillow
Throw pillows are always a quick way to add some seasonal inspiration to your space. This Love pillow greets us right when we come in the door, but you can always add in a couple of Valentine’s Day pillows to your family room or bedroom. Look for pillows in red or pink, pillows with love quotes or words, or even a subtle heart. One or two mixed in with more neutral colors is all you need to make an impact!
Dress up a Wreath
All you need to turn your favorite wreath into some Valentine’s Day decor is a simple sign. This one was used for our Christmas decor but the wood heart transforms it for Valentine’s Day.
I hope you enjoyed all of the ideas and are inspired to add some Valentine’s Day love to your own home.
Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Can you tell me if you made your clip art photo stand or did you buy it ready made? If you made it. could you do a tutorial on what you used. Love it!!!
Jenn Lifford says
It’s from Michaels. 🙂 I haven’t seen the white there for quite a while but they do have other colors – they’re just in the photo frame section. You could always paint it if you specifically wanted white.
