Valentine's Day may not be until February 14, but there's no reason you have to wait until next month to start opening yourself up to love. In fact, if you ask us, there's no time like the present. The easiest way to tap into all those lovey-dovey feels? By surrounding yourself with some swoon-worthy Valentine’s Day décor, of course! From sweet heart garland to subtle red and pink accent pieces, the best Valentine's Day decorations will help you create a romantic space to celebrate your significant other, your girls or even yourself. Below, you’ll find 25 pieces of that are less cheesy and more chic, ensuring you’ll want to bring them out year after year.

Where to Buy Valentine’s Day Decorations

For fast shipping and more general love-themed decorations, Amazon and Walmart are your best bets thanks to the two-day shipping you'll get with Amazon Prime and Walmart+. For more whimsical décor, Target and Michaels also have a rotating stock of seasonal picks. If you want to support small businesses and get something a little more unique, however, art-based sites, like Etsy and Society6 are always a great option for Valentine’s decorations.
