Valentine Decorations for Your Porch

Think valentine porch decor in February. Even if you live in snow country, adding some outdoor valentines decorations to your porch will make it festive for this love-filled holiday. If you're not especially enthralled with Valentine Day, see our take on it.

Sometimes just a touch of red - a pretty wreath, a small red pillow, a banner or wall art - is all that you need to say "Happy Valentine's Day" on your porch.


Valentine Decorations: Perfect for February

While this porch is perfect for year round, the bright reds are lovely for Valentine's Day.


Sweet cottage style porch decorated for Valentine Day

We saw this adorable porch while on a trip to California at Valentine's Day time. The colors and details are truly gorgeous. See the purple heart-shaped wreath at the front door?


Our Valentine Porch

We love hearts here!
We love to put a bit of red on our porch for Valentine Day. This time of year any bits of color simply pop and bring cheer.

Dave joined cedar fence slats together for the foundation of our wall art. I drew a couple of nice-sized "wonky" hearts on the fence slats with pencil and Dave cut them out.

Then we put a felt-covered piece of masonite behind it and voila! Beautiful red heart wall art!

We added some red fabric ties to our green eucalyptus wreath and it feels like a touch of Valentine.

Here you can see a close-up of the red and white "heart" fabric that we tied onto the wreath. Adds just a bit of cheerful red.

Mary painted this sunshine-y heart and flowers with acrylic paints onto thin hardboard. Valentine decorations can be simple and easy while brightening up our porches in the wintry month of February.


Fresh Ways to Think of Valentine's Day

We've found that many people aren't excited about Valentine's Day. Truly understandable! This day can be bittersweet for many, but what if we thought of it in a whole new way?

How about celebrating friendships - anyone whom we love and care about. For example, our neighbors, the clerk at the grocery store, our mail carrier, our best friends.

Valentine's Day can be a time to honor them with small tokens of appreciation. A thank you note, a cute card, a simple bouquet of flowers or a couple of frosted cookies. Even taking a few moments to check on their day is truly kind.

Maybe you want to do something nice for yourself on Valentine's day. Read that book, treat yourself to something, take time for yourself.

Each of us has a community of people who would appreciate us being there, pitching in and showing up.

While Valentine's Day may not seem like a holiday for everyone, it can become more fun and meaningful if we think of it in fresh new ways.

And by the way, we are super grateful for you.

See Shirl's Cottage Decorated for Valentine's

Shirl of Shirl's Rose Cottage shows us how to turn your porch into a romantic and beautiful space.


Valentine Decorated Porch complete with rockers and colorful front door wreath


Shirl makes a wonderful transition from the Christmas holiday decorations to Valentine's Day. By keeping some of the same features, Shirl adds a bright red touch to the greenery and adds distinctive heart shapes to define the theme.

Shirl writes "I leave my blue spruce and roses in the window boxes that I put in at Christmas time and add some hearts and red bows for Valentine decorating".

Start with your door. Shirl uses traditional red and white valentine colors on a round wreath. You could also find a heart-shaped wreath or make your own.


Themed valentine decorations like these table cloths drape the tables and the red plaid blanket draped over the chair adds warmth and texture. The sled works well for the entire winter season and can be placed on any porch in the winter no matter your location.

Our special thanks to Shirl of Shirl's Rose Cottage for sharing her Valentine porch pictures and the story behind her home.

"My husband and I purchased this farm in 1988, we were the third family to own the property. When we purchased the farm in 1988 it was in very bad shape but we loved the ground and decided we would take on the challenge of the pre-civil war house.

The out house was still in use when we purchased the property. It was a two-seater, can you imagine? We moved it and now it is a garden shed.


Shirl's Home


We hope you enjoyed these outdoor Valentine decorations.

Special Tribute to Shirl's Son

Deployment sign Shirl's son, Robert, and his unit, the 1092nd Maintenance Engineering Division, were deployed to Afghanistan in March 2010.

We extend our sincere appreciation to them and to all men and women serving their country at home and abroad.
