Transforming a space into a haven of love for Valentine's Day involves a delicate dance of warmth, texture, and ambiance. Are you pondering how to set the ambiance in your home this Valentine's Day? Feeling a bit short on ideas or unsure about what changes to make? Here are some expert suggestions by experts to transform the entire vibe of your home into a romantic haven with small yet impactful changes.

Giulia Baima Bollone, Director, Embassy Interiors suggested the following tips to get you home decked up fo Valentine's Day:

• Firstly begin by decluttering your space because nothing creates an unromantic aura like chaos. A minimalist environment is crucial to keep your attention on the things that matter.
• To create an intimate setting that radiates love, embrace the power of warm hues that speak the language of passion and tenderness. Think rich reds, soft pinks, and gentle mauves with highlights of gold to set the stage for a tapestry of romance. 
• Flowers add a lot of oomph to a space. A floral center table along with different flowers around the house, envelops you with its sweet fragrances. Soft textures play a crucial role in elevating the coziness quotient.
• Plush cushions, velvety throws, and silky drapes invite you to sink into the embrace of love.
• Ambient lighting becomes the secret ingredient for crafting an enchanting atmosphere. Swap harsh overhead lights for the soft glow of candles strategically placed in corners, casting a warm and inviting spell. Twinkling fairy lights woven into the décor adds a touch of magic.
• Illuminate the love in the air with dimmable lamps or string lights, creating pockets of intimacy that invite cherished moments.
