7 Ways to Decorate Your Home For Mother's Day Celebration

"Behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begins" - Mitch Albom.

May is indeed a very special month. It is that time of the year when we celebrate the woman who gave us life and love. While many argue that mothers should be celebrated every day, we may well take this occasion to make them feel cherished and appreciated. Here are 7 ways you can decorate your home for a wonderful Mother's Day celebration.

Say it with flowers

Nothing speaks the language of love as flowers do. Pick out a large selection of your mother's favourite flowers. While peonies are traditional flowers for this day, feel free to let your imagination dictate the arrangement. From roses to gerberas, orchids to carnations – make this a medley of the best. Add a greeting to the bouquet and leave it by her bedside or in the living room to surprise your mom.

Down memory lane

Wondering what to do with the accent wall of your living room or that empty wall by the foyer, or that plain wall in the kitchen? Mother's Day is just the time to transform it into a photo wall gallery. First, pick out some of the best pictures of your mom and your family and get them framed in a matching set of elegant frames. Then, set up the wall and watch your mom's delight.

Let there be light

She lights up your life every time she smiles. She brings hope, courage, and faith to your darkest hours. Make your home glow with beautifully scented candles, votives, coloured lanterns, and LED string lights. Set up some relaxing music and spend a beautiful evening giving her your undivided attention.

Sweet nothings

This one is for all the time your mom spent rustling up your favourite dishes and cooking your comfort foods in the kitchen. Set up the dining table with a festive trim and some of the most beautiful dinnerware. Then, put together a platter of all the foods she loves, from quick bites to casseroles and sweet dishes to a decadent Mother's Day cake.

Mom's Corner

Make your Mother's Day celebration different from all other occasions. Set up a balloon arch in the corner of the living room and set up a table with your gift basket, picture frames, and potpourri. Add all the cards and craft work you have made for the occasion and brighten it with fairy lights.

Screen time

Let this mid-May Sunday afternoon be just the time for screening home videos and any recordings you have of family occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. Make your mom the star and put together a video of all her favourite pictures. Set up the large screen, comfy chairs, and a small tray of snacks for this wonderful woman who raised you.

Home spa

Indulge your mom with a day of self-care right in the comfort of your home. Book her the best massage, home spa, manicure, and beauty treatment package in town. Set up her bedroom with soft music, essential oil dispensers, ultra-soft towels and linen. Your mother deserves this day of pampering, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Your mom has given you the best of her. This is a day for you, your siblings, and your family to show her that you appreciate all she has done for you. So turn off your smartphone and spend a wonderful day together.
