If I could choose a favorite not-so-ordinary day of the year, it would be Valentine’s Day. But no, not because of all the love in the air. I mean, I love love but I’d rather munch on something sweet.
Seriously though, I love how people of all gender and ages become so open with their declarations of love no matter how big or small. Roses and chocolates are selling out, hands are holding another, and everyone becomes a love poet. Suddenly, the earth looks like a casting call for Romeo and Juliet. The day reminds me that love can still thrive in spite of the heartbreaks.
Wherever you are today, know that there is no wrong way to celebrate V-day. You can go to a museum date with your person, cook something special for yourself, or work overtime. No judgment. But at the end of the day, what matters most is that you choose to come home to a place that brings you the calm and reassuring frame of mind that prepares you for the days after Valentine’s.

“Classic blue doesn’t have to be the only pop of color,” designer Keira St. Claire said. Adding complementary colors such as olive greens, yellows or gold can make an instant statement. Look at how this dining area comes to life with splashes of yellow and greens. Dinner for two, tonight?

Your date didn’t go well? Go cry your eyes out in this calming bathroom. The play with a different hue of blue like the one used on the door sure works wonders. Once you’re done, get your reddest lipstick and doll up. You may be heartbroken but you’re never not beautiful.

If you’re the type of person who isn’t really into mingling especially on a jam-packed day such as Valentine, feel free to sleep in. Blue works best in spaces where you relax. Doesn’t this bedroom make you want to just cancel your plans and jump in?
