Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. If you are staying in, here are 10 simple ways to add a touch of romance to your home
Dim the lights
To create a romantic atmosphere, you need ambient lighting that you can dim to create a low-lit calm space. Turn off the overhead lights and opt for bedside and table lamps that produce a soft light and a warm ambience.

Create a cosy living space
Make your sitting room a relaxing place to relax and unwind together. Layer up blankets, throws and cushions on your sofa to create a cosy space to snuggle up and watch a film together. Look for tactile fabrics like velvet, faux fur or merino wool.

Enjoy a candle-lit bath
There’s nothing nicer than wrapping yourself in warm fluffy towels after a long, relaxing candlelit bath. Buy matching luxurious bathrobes to snuggle up in post-soak and play your favourite album while you relax.

Style up your bedroom
A romantic bedroom is all about luxurious textures, soft colours and gentle lighting. A romantic bedroom needs a gorgeous bedspread or quilt to add layers and texture to the look of the room.

Say it with flowers
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a bunch of gorgeous flowers. Style up your bouquet in a vintage vase as a centrepiece for your dinner table or beside your bed.

I love fun artwork and neon signs that add personality to your home. A romantic neon sign will add a bit of unique rock ‘n’ roll chic to your bedroom.

Sexy scents
Use scented candles to make your house smell gorgeous. Look for a sexy fragrances like Feu de Bois from Diptique, with its woody scent, or Roses, which evokes the delicate smell of rose bushes brimming with flowers.
