7 Ways to Show Your Home Love This Valentine's Day

Decorating a home for Valentine's Day can be difficult; you want it to be tasteful without it looking like a bottle of Pepto Bismol exploded in your living room. I've assembled some of my favorite home decor projects that are tasteful and pretty and would make a perfect addition to your Valentine's Day decorating. Which one is your style?

1. Simple sign
I love the beauty of this simple sign that's painted, distressed, and personalized with decals. What a great gift idea for a couple's first Valentine's Day!

2. Polka dot heart pillow
A pretty polka dot pillow makes a cute accent and only requires intermediate sewing skills. This pillow makes the perfect V-Day gift for a mother, sister, or best friend.

3. String art
If you can hammer nails and wind string, then you can make this unique "Love" sign. It would be perfect to give to a friend with a flair for modern decor.

4. Embroidery hoops
Make fun V-Day wall decor with leftover fabric, felt, and embroidery hoops. You can also tie a smaller one onto a box of chocolates and give it as a gift.

5. Love tree
Use printable elements and personal pictures to create a beautiful love tree display. To turn this tree into the perfect teacher's gift, add handwritten notes from each student to the branches.

6. Subway art
This super-sized subway art features a stenciled background and vinyl letter messages. You could easily make one as a gift for your whole family, commemorating special times and places in your lives.

7. XO tealights
Cute V-Day table scatter hot glued to tealights makes a fun addition to any decor. These votives would also be a sweet gift to give to children. Put conversation hearts or chocolate inside!
