Who doesn’t love Valentine’s Day? Not the sappiness and over-commercialization of the day, but the essence of it. If you’re in a relationship, it’s time to focus on it; if you’re single, hey, deeply discounted chocolate! There’s something for everyone.

Whether you celebrate the day or roll your eyes at it, there’s one thing that all (okay, most) of us like about it: the hearts. The heart is amazingly versatile in decorating – it can be cute or sophisticated, modern or trendy, and incorporated in just about every part of the house. You can find hearts in all different sizes, colors, and textures to suit your tastes and decor, and they’re  a great way to add a little fun to your home.

Try it in these rooms (click any image for more information):

Bedroom

This is an obvious one. Skip the cheesy (and impractical – where do you get the sheets?) heart-shaped bed in favor of a subtler effect. Hearts are still great for a romantic bedroom, but don’t go overboard.

Kitchen

You know the old adage: the kitchen is the heart of the home. Enough said.
