“It’s the 14th February today, so why not show your home some love this Valentine’s Day. Shower it with some love and affection and brighten up those cold, dark winter evenings with some simple home touches.

So if you’re in the mood for sharing the love but need some inspiration, check out our five easy ways to spruce up your living space without breaking the bank.

1. Sofa becomes snuggle seat
   Plump up the cushions and turn bring out your throws and blankets to transform the look of your sofa and make it far more inviting for those romantic snuggles with your partner.
2. Get in the mood
   Dim your the lights or switch a lamp on instead and feel the warmth and love in the room. Another option is the new LED candles which are a great alternative to the real thing and they are safer than candles.
3. Spice up your decorations 
   Add a splash of colour to your room with some colourful ornaments or cushions and quickly change the atmosphere in your home. Red is the colour of love but don’t overdo it!!! You might also like other colours such soft pinks, pastel oranges and light purples.
4. The look of love
   A new mirror or picture hung on the wall can be a real show stopper and can really refresh the look of a room or even your home.  You could use it as the backdrop for all your selfies to share with your friends and family on social media.
5. Say it with flowers 
   Last but certainly not least is the number one Valentine’s Day gift – flowers. You don’t even need a special significant other to receive them, just buy them yourself and you can be guaranteed to brighten up any room. Play your cards right and you might get more for your buck if you buy them on the 15^th!!!!”
