Feel the love with these 5 neutral Valentine’s Day decor ideas!
When it comes to Valentine decor, the bright reds and pinks aren’t really my cup of tea. I appreciate pale pinks and whites much more when it comes to this specific holiday. Those colors not only feel much more calm but are also easier to incorporate with winter decor. The ideas that I’m sharing today come from myself as well as three other amazing bloggers. Follow along as I show you 5 neutral Valentine’s Day decor ideas that you can infuse into your home!

Love is a beautiful thing and is something to be celebrated every day, not just one day a year! Even though Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday, it is still fun to sprinkle bits of Valentine decor around the house this time of year. If you are like me and don’t go all out with pink and red, the ideas below will hopefully get your juices flowing on how to use more muted colors throughout your home for this occasion.
5 Neutral Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas
These first two ideas come from none other than yours truly. They are simple yet elegant, offering a timeless look.
Valentines Table With Vintage Transferware
This Valentines table with vintage transferware post is brand new! I posted it last week here on the blog, sharing how I found this set of vintage transferware at the thrift store for only $20! These old dishes inspired my whimsical Valentine’s tablescape in which I used thrifted or dollar store items to style it.
The use of subtle pink ribbon and hearts mixed with cream and white hues helped create an elegant look. By layering different fabrics and using textural elements throughout the table, I was able to create a charming and romantic tablescape.
You can still achieve a neutral display by using color. The key is to choose one or two muted colors, keep them consistent throughout, and then pair your color with a plethora of cream and white accessories.
Valentines Day Wreath With Paper Doilies
I created this Valentines Day wreath using paper doilies last year. The idea was born from of a stack of paper doilies that had been in my craft drawer for years. The lace-like look of them was the perfect texture to use for a Valentines Day craft. So, I got to work on how to use a wire wreath form and paper doilies to make a wreath!
Valentine’s Day is a day all about love! Love for a significant other, love for your pet, love for your family, love for self, or love for nature. You can also infuse love into your home by incorporating decor that is unique to you and that makes each space feel warm and inviting. This wreath still feels neutral, even with a pop of floral color!
The next three ideas come from some very talented bloggers. I spent some time searching for Valentine’s Day decor that spoke to me but also matched my theme for neutral and simple decorating. These ladies’ ideas mesh perfectly with my vision for this blog post. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Thistle Key Lane- Neutral Valentine’s Day Cloche Vignette
The first idea comes from Michelle at Thistle Key Lane. You know how I feel about any type of vignette and she created the prettiest Neutral Valentine’s Day Cloche Vignette that I’ve ever seen! By using only a handful of decor pieces, she was able to fill her cloche in such a stunning way.

Michelle did such an amazing job keeping the vignette simple yet, at the same time, filled it with so much texture. I would never have thought to use neutral colored thread to fill empty space! The vintage books are my favorite part. Thank you, Michelle, for inspiring me with your lovely cloche!

Le Cultivateur- Vintage Valentine’s Day Decor
The next Valentine idea comes from Emily at Le Cultivateur. You guys…I recently discovered Emily’s blog and I. Am. In. Love. Her content is simply stunning and she has some of the most amazing decor that I’ve ever seen. Her Vintage Valentine’s Day Decor is, like, unbelievably beautiful. I couldn’t stop scrolling through her pictures!

Emily combines some of my very favorite vintage decor like milk glass and vintage books with her collection of vintage valentine cards. She does such an amazing job of styling with height and different layers, creating little displays that are full of character. Thank you, Emily, for using the most beautiful vintage decor and turning them into something completely magical!

Saved From Salvage- DIY Valentine Pillow
The last neutral Valentine decor idea today comes from Regina at Saved From Salvage. She made a lovely DIY Valentine Pillow that is SO easy to put together! Well, actually, it’s multiple pillows, all with the same Valentine theme. Regina shopped her house, looking for pillows and materials that she already had on hand to create these pillows.

Aren’t they so cute?! With a few simple items, you too can design pretty and neutral pillows for your home. The beauty about this project is that you can customize the color of the pillows or thread to match the look you are going for. Thanks so much Regina for the fun Valentine DIY!
