Make it a Meaningful Valentine with PORTORO Interior
We're sharing some lovely ideas to make the Day of Hearts more romantic in your home
Having an intimate dîner à deux at home is the ultimate in romance. It makes a strong statement to your loved one that you hold them in so much regard and esteem, that you are willing to put in the extra effort to see the joy glisten in their eyes.
We at PORTORO Interior have a number of ideas that will make planning an intimate evening at home for Valentine’s Day a truly worthwhile experience.
Ambient Lighting for an Exquisite Evening
Rather than the usual lighting that illuminates our homes, make your lighting gentler and softer to the eye with candlelight.
Warm candlelight is also particularly flattering for one's appearance, making it an excellent beautifier for both yourself and your home.
That said, add candles like our Hanami Luxury Soy Candles to your table as part of a dinner centerpiece along with some brightly colored blossoms, fresh greenery, or brilliantly colored fruit and sweets. The unscented nature of these candles make them perfect for table settings as there are no conflicting aromas that will play against the savor of what you have prepared for the evening.
Pristine Porcelain for Delectable Dishes Make dinner at home a loving experience by serving your best dishes on your finest porcelain.
White porcelain, in particular, serves as the perfect backdrop that shows off the play of color and texture of each dish, enabling diners to feast with all their senses.
For this, we recommend the use of our Signature Porcelain Collection for each and every course. Plus, the Silver Plated Salt and Pepper Mills from our Royal Silver Collection can also be used to add an elegant and regal nuance to the table.
Want to make it extra special? Use the accents from our Deco Boxes in your favourite colour to add a personal touch to the evening. Along with wax tapers, these boxes also include crystal candle holders, small vases for fresh blooms, napkin ribbons and placecards to heighten the sense of sophistication on your table.
Dress your table with exquisite hand embroidered table linens from our Linen Collection.
The latest addition to PORTORO's growing collection of expertly curated accents for the modern home takes its name from the Japanese tradition of flower viewing in the spring as seen in the delicate floral design on each product.
Our Hanami Luxury Soy Candle beautifully combines the age-old arts of candlemaking and fine pottery. Each of our candles is crafted from fine soy wax - a healthier and more sustainable alternative to either beeswax or paraffin - and hand-poured into a beautiful porcelain case. These lovely unscented candles are an excellent addition to either a dining table or coffee table centrepiece, to add a soft sophistication to personal spaces, and to add a warm, ambient light for relaxing evenings at home.
