Valentine’s Kitchen Decorating Tips

Decorating your kitchen for Valentine’s Day can be simple and fun with a few easy tips. Start by adding pops of red and pink throughout the space.

Swap out your regular dish towels, oven mitts, and table linens for ones in Valentine’s colors, or use pink or red plates, mugs, and bowls to brighten up your countertops.

Hanging decorations like heart-shaped garlands or string lights along your windows, shelves, or cabinets can be fun.

Consider functional decor, like Valentine-themed jars or canisters to hold utensils, cookies, or candies, or festive serving trays and cutting boards that double as decorations.

For something extra cozy you can set up a mini coffee or hot cocoa station with heart-designed mugs, pink or red napkins, and jars of marshmallows or sprinkles.

It can be challenging to find good home decor for the season that still elevates your decor and does not make it look cluttered.

So I thought I would share with you some of my favorites and what I used this year in my own home.

Valentine’s Day Kitchen Tour

I wanted to share with you a more detailed tour of my kitchen decked out for Valentine’s Day.

I used traditional red and pink accents and used pieces I already had as well as snagged a few new decor pieces this year.

Our kitchen hood is the center of our kitchen and has these beautiful floating shelves on both sides.

My best tip is to keep the foundation of your functional items in your kitchen, like spatulas, cooking bowls, etc, in neutral colors. So when you want to add festive decor accents like this, they not only stand out but don’t clash.

These floating shelves are the perfect spot in my kitchen to have a little fun with decor, and I constantly switch things out to keep it fresh and fun.

The cabinets next to them house all our more formal dishes, and they are all in white, so again, it makes what is on the shelves stand out.

I added this set of small red vases this year and sprinkled them on these shelves and next to ur sink with some faux babies breath. They are a rich, vibrant red and could easily work for Christmas, too.

I also decorated with simple white vases and a cake stand, then placed these vintage pink depression glass mini cake stands along with them.

I found the most darling mini heart bowls and add a small stack next to all my cooking oils.

These would be great to use for nuts, sprinkles when baking cookies, or holding your rings next to the sink.

I’ve had this little dish towel set for a few years now and love pulling it out and putting it on my stove handles.
I found a similar dish towel set for you that you can check out.

This is the soap I use almost all year round, and the peony scent is to die for if you have not smelled it yet.

I typically get the hand soap, dish soap, and multi-purpose cleaning spray all in the same scent.

I created a simple floral display this year with faux hydrangeas and dusty pink peonies in my tall ribbed vase.

Then in the shorter vase I used a cluster of roses in shades of pink.

This large 3 wick candle smells amazing in the scent garden rose. It is not too overpowering but it makes your room smell so so good.

There are so many different scents and containers this comes in so if you are not a pink person, I know you will love the other ones.

Hope you loved this little Valentine’s Day kitchen tour and got some great ideas on decorating your own kitchen this season.

I love adding little pops of pink and red throughout my home, and you can be very subtle about it so it does not overwhelm the space.

Happy decorating!
