Benjamin Buttons and I love to have a date night once a week, every week, just the two of us. No kids.
Recently, though, we've found ourselves having to have them at home, but that doesn't mean you can't create a beautiful atmosphere with just a couple of simple ideas.
I start with a blank slate and then add romantic touches to create a special date night at home for us.
Decorate with candlelight
I think candles are highly underrated when it comes to home decor, and I try to incorporate them throughout the house, especially when we're trying to have a cozy dinner. It's a very easy way to cozy things up. They offer a sense of relaxation, romance, and serenity. If you get the right ones, they smell amazing, but you can also use flameless flickering candles.
I try to incorporate both, but the key with the flameless flickering candles is to get ones that are high quality. I like the miracle flame candles. They have an LED bulb that creates the illusion of a dancing flame, so they look very realistic. These chamber stick candles by Balsam Hill offer modern convenience with the charm of antique chamber sticks. So don't be afraid to get creative with your candlelight.
You can cluster them, spread them out, or use varying heights, but have fun with it. It helps to set the mood.
Incorporate flowers
Nothing enhances a table like a beautiful floral arrangement. Regarding flowers, real flowers are always a top choice, but not all of us can venture out and get flowers during these times. So another option is to bring in a faux arrangement. And I personally believe that no one does faux like Balsam Hill.
This spring magnolia arrangement is stunning.
It looks and feels so realistic, and it just makes a gorgeous statement piece for any room in your home, dining room table, or maybe your front door entry table.
A quick note on one of the advantages of using faux floral accents in your home is that you get to enjoy the arrangements for a much longer period of time. You can move them from room to room to freshen things up. They are a beautiful way to make your room feel warm and cozy.
Use items in multiple rooms
Another idea for an elegant and cozy dinner is to incorporate pieces that you can transition from room to room. So maybe a tiered tray or a wine caddy, but a piece you can pick up and move along after you finish your dinner to move into another room or maybe on your back porch to sit under the stars.
This orchid arrangement by Balsam Hill offers effortless elegance. They are graceful and beautiful in any room.
Create a tablescape
A beautiful tablescape does not have to be complicated. Choose your favorite linens, choose your favorite dinnerware, and then fill the table's center with flowers and candles. It's just that simple.
