Now that you are ensconced in your Craftmark Home, how about giving your new abode a little love?
Whether it’s how you spend time within your new home or brightening up spaces within it, let these 14 Valentine’s Day ideas inspire you! Freshen your living space with a romantic motif and make some happy memories at the same time.
1) Bake Cookies
Make time for a little baking with your partner. Nothing makes a home feel cozier than the aroma of fresh-baked cookies or bread. Try a platter of different flavors for even more fun!
Stock up with festive red and pink icing and heart shaped baking pieces, and you’ll have an insta-worthy tray of treats – especially when your gourmet kitchen is the backdrop.
Extra tip: Get the whole family involved for some extra fun – or plan a mommy/daddy-kiddo date and let your spouse relax while little hands are occupied!
2) At-Home Movie Night
Who says you need to go out to catch the latest flick? With a plethora of streaming options and holiday-themed movie marathons, you can easily create a special occasion right at home.
Grab your coziest blankets, plenty of popcorn, and a list of your favorite rom-com movies and cuddle by the fire for the loveliest evening.
3) Dance The Night Away
Our floor plans are designed with plenty of room to grow. Find your dancing shoes and transform an open room into your new dance floor! Pour your favorite libation and play your most loved dancing tunes.
4) Deep Clean The Spaces You’ve Been Avoiding
Housework for Valentine’s Day? Think about the satisfaction you’ll feel when that room or appliance is sparkling at last. Think of it like loving yourself and your home!
5) Prepare A Feast
Convert your gourmet Craftmark Homes kitchen into a five-star restaurant for Valentine’s Day. Prepare your partner’s favorite meal, or work together to create a culinary delight.
6) Create Valentine’s Day Ambiance
Disperse vibrant candles and exotic flowers throughout your home to inspire a romantic mood. Consider the trendy LED smart bulbs that allow you to set the mood with color-themed lighting.
7) Long Walks Around Your Craftmark Neighborhood
A long walk together can make the perfect Valentine’s Day memory. Our Craftmark communities are full of incredible amenities and close to parks and hiking destinations that will make any stroll worthwhile. Step out hand in hand for a lovely Valentine’s Day evening.
8) Beautify Your Bedroom With A Makeover
Decorating your bedroom with fresh flowers, fragrant candles, or velvet throw pillows will set the mood for love. Try a few of our transformation ideas here and create the perfect sanctuary to show your home some love.
9) Invigorate Your Home with Color
Time to replace the Christmas decor with other vibrant colors! Colorful candles, throw pillows, or even towels with heart shapes will establish the Valentine’s Day theme.
Buy unique, adorable pieces that’ll make it feel like a romantic paradise. Depending on the look you’re going for, you can decorate your entire home or just the space you’ll be spending the evening in.
10) Reserve a Laundry Day
Don’t let a heap of laundry haunt you on Valentine’s Day. Instead, luxuriate in knowing the laundry room is empty and you have time to celebrate properly.
This also guarantees you’ll be able to snuggle during your movie with the cleanest blanket and slip under the fresh linens at the end of the night.
11) Make a Dinner Date
You don’t need an exclusive, expensive eatery on Valentine’s Day. Order in from your favorite restaurant, and set the scene at home. Use your finest tablecloth and best dinnerware to create that elegant, romantic atmosphere in your own dining room.
It’s the perfect opportunity to bring out that fine china you’ve been itching to use again. Leave all the food in the kitchen for a cleaner dining table aesthetic. With the beautiful designs of a Craftmark dining space, you’ll truly feel like you’re at an upscale restaurant.
Now that’s showing your home some love!
12) Display Your Most Romantic Photographs
Special memories can generate an amorous mood throughout your home. Take time to place those treasured photos where you can enjoy them all the time.
You can make an evening out of it by exploring the old photos found in that spare closet. Replace existing displayed photos with new (or old) ones. Go even further by picking up some craft supplies and create a scrapbook full of your loveliest memories!
13) Enliven Your Fireplace
Place some vibrant candles or handmade treasures on your mantel. Then, create a roaring fire to set the mood for love. It’s amazing what a crackling fire can do for the atmosphere, and it’s effortless with Craftmark’s luxury gas fireplaces.
14) Rearrange Furniture to Give New Life to a Room
Shift some furniture around to give your living room a fresh new look. Relocating or repurposing familiar pieces can create a whole new environment.
Create that look you’ve been dreaming of trying, even if only for Valentine’s Day, and enjoy a luxury getaway without having to get away.
