Simple Valentine’s Day Decorating with Flowers
Hi all! Today I’m joining a Valentine’s Day decorating blog hop and we’re all sharing some simple Valentine’s decorating ideas! Usually I don’t do a lot for Valentine’s Day, especially since my children are a little older now. But I do love a touch of pink as a nod to the holiday, and of course, you know how much I love flowers!
Decorating with flowers is such an essential for me; I just love the life they add to a home. And they can definitely be easy and uncomplicated. (For even more tips and tricks on floral styling – as well as ideas on how to get fresh flowers every week and still stay on budget, check out How to Decorate with Flowers: 7 Easy & Stylish Tips!)
What I love most about flowers is that they lend themselves to any season, and you can use them in a myriad of ways. So here are some simple Valentine’s Day decorating ideas with flowers….
What could say “Valentine’s Day” more than pretty pink roses?!
And I love pink against the white kitchen!
For me, the best Valentine’s Day decorating is the simplest. Here I gathered my hobnail pink pitcher along with a cake plate, my Valentine’s heart plates (you can see them in my tablescape here), and a pitcher of pink roses to create a focal point on the counter.
In the living room, I used the pink roses from my Valentine’s tablescape, because, well, why not? I had to do the tablescape in January for a blog hop, and I couldn’t keep the Valentine’s table out all that time, so I’ve been enjoying the roses in here. Believe it or not, these roses and the little white flowers lasted a full three weeks!
I find the softer pink of these roses to be so soothing and serene. And definitely romantic!
I love to move things around and create different vignettes. Shopping your house is definitely the easiest way to decorate (and the least expensive!) These pink hobnail glasses are actually candleholders! However, I use them as both 🙂
I found this old cake plate that is done in reddish-pinks and brought that out too! If you simply look around your house, you may find you have more pink or red than you thought! You can easily use any red dishes, etc from Christmas, and if you don’t own any pink, then simply do as I did and put some pretty pink flowers in a white pitcher or vase.
This week instead of pink roses, I went with pink tulips!
And I love the darker pink roses, too!
Last year I did mostly red and white for my Valentine’s decorating, which you can see in this post. Which is why this year I was really wanting to just use the pinks. It created a softer, more romantic version of the holiday, which is what I was going for!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I love your sweet, simple Valentine style! While browsing through your pictures my heart jumped when I saw an item near your kitchen sink….the marble pedestal with birds! I was born in 1948 and my Mama had the same bowl, displayed in various vignettes around our house. With six kids in the household all the little birds gradually disappeared but I got to keep the bowl when Mama passed and I still love it just as much. After one of your earlier posts about shopping for glass soap dispensers I was able to find two for myself. I also have the wood pedestal platter that your bowl and soap dispenser are sitting on. I think I will copy your idea at my kitchen sink, if that’s OK with you. My little house is nothing compared to yours and your blogger friends but I get a lot of joy in seeing your styling ideas. Thanks for sharing! I must go and put my little marble bowl out near my kitchen sink!
Oh this is the sweetest comment – thank you for sharing Kathy!! Funny because whenever I share this corner of the kitchen on Instagram I get questions about where I got the little bowl and also several people telling me they either have one or their mom or grandma did! I think it’s so charming! And of course, feel free to copy! I consider it the sincerest form of flattery. 😉

Hi Patti! Mine is custom and unfortunately I don’t know the brand as it was ordered through my drapery guy. However, check out Hunter Douglas as I have a friend that has one that looks almost exactly like mine and hers was Hunter. Good luck!
So romantic and lovely, Sheila! I love those gorgeous flowers. And you are right… Shopping your home is a great way and moving things around to keep it feeling fresh and new. Beautiful job!
