Valentine's Day calls for romance turned all the way up, with candlelight, rich colour, and a sense of indulgence. This year, the mood leans Parisian, think ornate details, playful hearts, and a full-throttle maximalist approach to love.
If you are looking for new ways to decorate for valentines day, Anthropologie has just unveiled a collection that leans fully into that romantic French fantasy. From decorative accents to tabletop pieces, it is all about layered textures, whimsical motifs, and a slightly theatrical feel.
As with any highly anticipated drop, the key is to shop early before the most covetable pieces sell out. Whether you are planning a statement tablescape or subtle seasonal updates, getting in now means you can secure the designs that will set the tone for a truly memorable celebration.
Standout Pieces From The Anthropologie Valentine’s Day Collection
The sweetest cupid-inspired espresso cups, which can be used all year round, not just in February. At this price, I think a set of these makes for a wonderful gift, too.
If you are – or know – someone who loves all things French, this makes the perfect Valentine’s gift. Its timeless charm would suit any spot in the home, from the bathroom or kitchen to the bedside table.
Baby blue is everywhere this year, and I’m loving how this pale blue chunky mug embraces the trend. It makes a lovely gift, but it’s the kind of homeware piece you’ll be tempted to keep for yourself.
In the same Bistro style as other pieces in this collection, these bowls have a distinctly Parisian flair. While they feel perfectly seasonal for Valentine’s Day, there’s no reason they can’t be enjoyed all year round, especially if you adore the timeless French bistro aesthetic.
Adorned with crimson red roses and dotted with love hearts, this serving platter leans heavily into romance, but if not for Valentine’s Day, when else?
If you’re hosting a Valentine’s – or ‘Galentine’s’ – meal this February, these charming, playful cocktail napkins should be at the top of your wish list. Boldly pink and unapologetically feminine, they’re delightful enough to use any time of year.
A charming ‘Love Notes’ glass vase, perfect for placing by a loved one’s bedside with a single bud, or two, from the garden. Made from handblown glass, each vase is entirely unique, ensuring no two are ever the same.
Is there anything more quintessentially Valentine’s than chocolate-dipped chocolate? Once the candle has burned, you’re left with a beautifully crafted glass that works perfectly as a drinking vessel or tealight holder. Easily my favorite piece in the collection.
The only downside to these delightfully elegant tapered dinner candles? They’re almost too pretty to burn. In my view, they’re made for decoration rather than flame – and they also make a wonderful gift for a host, any time of year.
What makes this collection particularly compelling is its sense of escapism. It taps into the idea of turning the everyday into something a little more dramatic, using colour, pattern, and ornamentation to create spaces that feel playful and immersive.
If you love whimsical decor, then naturally these will get your pulse racing, especially if you are drawn to maximalist colour and home decor that inspires rather than bores.
There is a confidence to the designs that encourages a more expressive approach to decorating, inviting you to enjoy the season rather than simply nodding to it.
