Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate love and express gratitude toward those you hold dear. While these gestures are usually done behind closed doors, spreading the joy with outdoor Valentine’s décor not only looks oh-so-adorable and inviting, but it might just make your neighbor’s day!
The beauty of outdoor Valentine’s Day décor—beyond the vivid colors and overall feeling of joyousness—is that a stunning display isn’t hard to create, whether big or small. Those who prefer minimal décor can add a dose of love with a simple festive wreath clad with hearts or a few Valentine pillows sprinkled on a porch swing. However, if you like to go big, there is also ample space outside for grand displays festooned with large signs, tall balloons, or even a Valentine’s Day card-making station (#22 on the list!). Here is a Valentine’s Day card we wrote for you:

On second thought… maybe we’ll just stick to home décor!
Red, pink, and white create an iconic color scheme for Valentine’s décor, making this red front door the perfect base to build upon. The pink floral wreath does a beautiful job of softening the bold door, while the cluster of heart balloons adds movement and height to the symmetrical display. To top it all off, the distressed pots filled with flowers and wooden step-stools tone down the brightness and infuse it with a touch of farmhouse charm.
If you don’t have a red front door but still want a hefty dose of the vibrant color, go with an oversized farmhouse sign. This home’s giant “LOVE” sign creates an instant focal point due to its size and vibrancy. Other red outdoor Valentine’s Day décor, like plaid welcome mats, a wreath heart, and cozy cushions, make visitors feel right at home.
Since this bold black door already draws the eye, the gray “Be Mine” farmhouse sign was a wonderful choice. It doesn’t compete with the door, but softens all the black, and adds height to a vignette that includes flowers and a heart welcome mat.
Instead of swapping out your outdoor décor, try building upon it. This grand display uses pink bows to embellish everything from wire deer to shrubbery. The bows also mirror the large pink rug. To break up the large block of pink, a trio of heart rugs is layered on top.
This swing elevates this Valentine’s porch decor, especially when paired with a dangling heart backdrop and layers of red blankets and pillows. To make it even more welcoming and plush, a heart rug is laid on the porch to add both physical and visual warmth. Finally, to add another boost of coziness to this farmhouse porch, a cluster of farmhouse lanterns are ready to bathe the area in a soft glow.
Love Valentine’s, but want a softer aesthetic? Skip the pops of red and go with a white and pink palette for your outdoor Valentine’s Day décor. This porch swing is draped with a pastel pink throw blanket and anchored with a neutral “XOXO” bolster pillow. The look is topped off with a transparent heart hanging on the window.
This front door leans into greenery and textiles to create a layered look that is chock-full of coziness and intrigue. The warm red throw blanket and buffalo plaid pillow echo the artfully arranged colors and patterns found on the wreath made by Ashley Nicole Designs. The whole display is finished with double-stacked welcome mats and floor planters filled with a mix of red and green foliage.
A single wreath is always a great idea if you want to keep your outdoor Valentine’s day décor simple, yet alluring. This genius homeowner updated a Christmas wreath with a metal heart and bow for a pop of contrast and festivity. Since the rest of the front door décor— a welcome mat and potted trees—is kept simple, the wreath really draws the eye.
If you’re craving décor that is festive without being overly cutesy, you may want to borrow this front door’s style secret: a vase of flowers. Flowers are a classic Valentine’s Day gift and symbol, and the soft pink hues paired with the jute vase radiate a cozy cottage vibe that is intensified by the adorable layered welcome mats.
From hearts dangling off the tree to the “Love” banner hung above the door, this home shows off some beautiful DIY Valentine’s Day décor. These small touches effortlessly combine with the existing elements—welcome mats, lanterns, tree, and cherry red sconce—to create a festive and stylish display.
Even if the stars refuse to peek out on the most romantic night of the year, this Valentine’s front porch decor will still be blanketed in the ambient light that date night deserves. The illuminated path of lanterns and softly glowing wreath are unique additions that give off a soft and romantic feel akin to a candlelit dinner.
Low on door space? You can always hang a wreath or other outdoor Valentine’s Day décor directly on your exterior wall. This cozy porch uses two black hearts that contrast against the light wall and effortlessly blend in with the existing color scheme.
Keep your kids occupied and your front porch stylish with a Valentine’s Day card-making station. This dreamy display is an excellent example of how to create a muted outdoor Valentine’s display, with its rustic wood stand, bronze balloons, piles of firewood, and a plethora of white and pastel pink textiles. Lastly, contrast and pattern are added through pops of black and white buffalo plaid.
