It is the season love, and we love living in Calgary! Even though February can be the coldest month of the year, Calgary homeowners still find ways to keep the romance alive. After all, when you make your home a sanctuary of peace and love, the most romantic night out can be one at home. In the spirit of the month of love, here are some romantic home features that you’ll adore:

1. Fireplaces: Fireplaces are a home run when it comes to adding atmosphere. The crackling wood, glimmering light, and warmth all make a space feel incredibly cozy and safe. Whether you have a real fireplace or a faux one, make the most of it on a relaxing night in.
2. Textiles: Even the coldest, bleakest places can have warmth and love added to them with a simple throw pillow and fuzzy blanket. Places such as Homesense have so many affordable options, perfect for any aesthetic. Play with different textures, subtle patterns, and harmonious colours.
3. Scents: People often overlook scent as a key element in making a space inviting and romantic. First a foremost, make sure the space is clean. Freshen up the linens, vacuum, wash the couch covers, wipe down the counters and sink, etc. Then, use candles, wax melters, or diffusers to add subtle and warm scents. Skip the citrus and go for vanilla or sandalwood.
4. Spas: Turn any bathroom into an at-home spa with simple amenities. Invest in large, fluffy towels, a seasonally scented foaming hand soap, bath salts and shower bombs, moisturizing lotions, and cozy housecoats. If you want to level up even further, you could prepare the hot tub in the backyard or invest in a portable steam room.
5. Decor: Romantic décor is all about celebrating love in whatever form it looks like for you. Frame love notes, your favourite photos with friends or pets, and set up a shelf that pays homage to the things you love. You can match anything to your aesthetic; go to Pinterest if you need ideas. Surround yourself in reminders that love lives there.
