Set My Heart Alight: The Romance Edition
The holidays are behind us but winter still looms long. Thankfully February gives us a cozy reason to gather with those who make our hearts skip a beat. Classic visions of candy hearts and foil wrapped bon bons will always deliver on Valentine's Day, but we're here to set the mood with a romantic take that's thoughtfully styled from top to bottom.
Romance, Rewritten
Cupid’s pick this year? Contrast. Expressive patterns, soft light, and deep tonal colors set a sultry scene that’s ideal for sharing your secret passions. We still love traditional hues of rosé and burgundy but we’ll be layering in a few neutrals to keep it fresh. And don’t forget that the details are not the details: they make the design. Use embroidery to catch that glowing candlelight, add a sleek charger for modern edge, and remember to engage all the senses with a napkin that feels sumptuous in hand.
Rosé After Dusk
If your philosophy of romance is maximalist, this is where the design choices get interesting. Turn up the saturation on your classic blush linen: make it fresh shade of bold rose to contrast with cool shades of mint and thyme. Tactile elements layered throughout - whether the velvet upholstery of your chair or embroidered details across the tabletop - will keep both the eyes and hands engaged across the design. And true maximalist style is never complete without the glimmer of something metallic to bring the look to life: a gold foil charger, a filigreed fork. As with love, don’t hold back and be sure to keep the element of surprise alive.
ART-THROB
We see you, ready to break out of that design rut. Rust Daphne is here to help with her fluid lines and unexpected palette. Who knew that rust, olive, sky, and onyx could make such a beautiful union? We're loving this look for quirky Valentines who live for spontaneity and style, ready to challenge convention and turn heads at the same time.
Gatherings & Get-Togethers
Wander through softly layered tables where texture, color, and florals bring romance to life.
Love In Bloom
For a late afternoon soireé, don’t underestimate the palette that can stay calm and wearable: warm neutrals, muted greens and sun-kissed rosy hues all hold their own in daylight and transition seamlessly as the hours move into the romance of the early evening. Let natural textures keep the setting relaxed and easy to enjoy, while the gentle flicker of candlelight keeps a subtle energy well past sundown.
