A white ceramic vase adorned with multiple red lips—a playful nod to love—sits on a marble-topped table, filled with dried brown leaves. Nearby, a red and pink candlestick with a lit red candle rests atop a stack of magazines.

It’s stunning even as a stand-alone piece, or you can team it with something long-lasting like pussy willow stems to serve its purpose.

but I would choose the bedroom and team it up with crisp white bed linen for a pop of colour! 

An open box of matches with red tips. The vintage-style label features a large yellow heart in the center, surrounded by red banners reading “LOVE HEART” and “LUXURY MATCHES”—the perfect touch for sharing love and warmth.

A glass dome encases a miniature park scene with a green bench, black lamppost, two red heart-shaped balloons symbolizing love, and a small green bush, all set on a round grassy base with a black rim.

A framed artwork features a large, textured red heart in the center symbolizing love. Around the heart, black text reads “LOVE IS ALL AROUND,” with each word positioned on a different side of the wooden frame against a white background.

I love this tufty heart picture from Oliver Bonas, and as Hugh Grant famously once said, “If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.”

A pair of elegant high-heeled shoes with pointed toes, covered in shiny red fabric and intricate multicolored floral and paisley patterns, sits on a dark wooden floor—perfect for embracing your style through menopause with natural management.
