Creating a Home that Celebrates the People You Love

Celbrations, Design Tips, Holiday, Trends

February 4, 2023

You know, I love my home, but more than that I love the people IN my home. One of my great joys is creating an atmosphere at home that celebrates those I love. You can, too!

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…”

Whether it’s word art on a shelf or throws on the sofa, I like to surround my guys with reminders in our house that they are loved.

Elevate even a simple treat on a cake stand as a special way to celebrate an occasion.

Serve breakfast cereal with a pretty presentation as an act of love

(Save it for Saturday, though, when you’re not trying to beat the school bell!)

How about using a special plate for a birthday dinner? So easy, but it’s something your loved one will long remember.

Just displaying family treasures, photos, even the family initial–signals to your dear ones that they are special to you and that your family is at the core of who you are. The pretty, on-trend items from the home store are great, but don’t forget the personal touches.

Display your special couple day or birthdays in big numbers!

And of course, on Valentines Day, you can pull out all the stops and party hearty at home with your favorite people!

How can you use one of these ideas to help celebrate yoru favorite people through decor and tell more of your story?
