Traditionally, February 14 isn’t one of those holidays you’d think to decorate with Valentine’s Day art prints or all things festive (looking at you, Christmas). But if you’re anything like us, when there’s an opportunity to get your DIY on and whip up Valentine’s Day decor, you do just that. This year, be sure to sprinkle some Xs and Os and stylish decorations to give your space a little bit of oomph for Cupid’s arrival. Your cutie will know you mean business with the romantic mood and that at-home Valentine’s Day dinner date, or at least you’ll pump up your roomies for that Galentine’s Day party you’re throwing. Get ready to swoon at the 14 festive DIYs below. 1.
