Home is where the Valentine is

It's easy to transform your own home into a romantic surround to enjoy this Valentine's Day, and have lasting benefits the year round with just a bit of effort and ingenuity.

Gleeson Homes, highly experienced in interior décor, attempts to persuade us to get into the Valentine's spirit in our own homes.

When decorating the home for so special a day, it could be said that the make-up of the décor couldn’t achieve lasting effects. Gleeson Homes believes differently, they say that there are multitudes of relevant interior furnishings that would not outdate post Valentine's Day

Indulge in your secret self with silk rose arrangements, gold and deep red, rich colours, stunning fur throws, and warming electric fire suites that encourage a close, personal and cosy environment in the living room.

Silk red and white flower petals for arranging on a table can be used throughout the year to add a passionate feel to a room.

Gleeson also suggests spicing up the bedroom with mahogany and gold silk bedding and why not treat yourself to some beautiful cushions to line on the bed with matching throw, for a more space altering approach. Pin a textured and patterned backboard behind the bed to make a stunning change from a simple headboard.

In the kitchen, cooking is the way to a man’s heart, so get those old pans and throw them out of the window, new pans will encourage you to invent new dishes and perfect your party pieces.

It is practically tradition to serve certain aphrodisiacs to your one and only on Valentine's Day. So why not make sound attempts to woo your partner by cooking up a treat?

Make oysters, lobster and truffles the dish of the day and stir your senses with chocolates and champagne, while indulging in hot and wild whispers of the night in your new surroundings.

Gleeson Homes’ Sales Director, Julie Rayner, said: “Valentine's Day is a time for you to really appreciate each other so why not do so in the home? Gleeson has prided itself on making a house a home for over a hundred years so try and make your very own love nest. Most of all, enjoy Valentine's Day and remember its significance in your relationship. It only comes once a year so make it perfect."
