Embrace the month of love with these special date night ideas!

Love is in the air, and although Valentine’s Day has passed doesn’t mean that the romance has to as well. February is known as the month of love for a reason, so here are some fun, at-home, date night ideas to continue the post-Valentine highs, with a little touch of Cosentino. When in doubt, just throw in an extra portion of love and creativity!

Unleash your culinary skills

Forget that fancy schmancy meal in the Michelin-starred restaurant. Get your hands dirty in the kitchen and experiment on a new menu for each other. There’s nothing sweeter than seeing your partner putting a lot of effort into cooking up something delicious. For some additional brownie points, whip up a gourmet feast and add that appetiser, dessert or cocktail that is sure to send your other half all weak at the knees.

It is scientifically proven - cooking is romantic. Smell is hugely linked to emotion and memory. Food is the love language that never fails to shape the most successful relationships. Working together in the kitchen can also bring the two of you together, creating core memories along with the food!

Cooking together for a candlelight dinner at home does come with its risks, as stains, spills, scratches and other accidents could happen. Hence, you could opt for Dekton Laurent for your kitchen surfaces, backsplashes and/or dining tables. Not only are they resistant to almost every mishap that could occur in a kitchen, they are also aesthetically pleasing and creates a welcoming environment in the space that’s ready for any culinary adventure that you are about to embark on!

Embrace your inner cinephiles

Ace the intimate affair of an at-home date night by bringing the cinema right into your living room. Create a romantic ambience with luxurious elements that amp up the mood like that Jo Malone candle scent that your partner digs in, plush cushions and a throw. Don’t forget to add personal touches that encapsulate the idiosyncratic joys of your own relationship. Pop some corn kernels and get ready some tipples and voila! You’re ready for a movie marathon.

Why not add an element of surprise, by picking movies for each other? It may not seem like much, but sharing your personal favourites with another person can definitely bring you closer to them. Afterwards, you could always exchange your thoughts and feelings about the movies watched, further deepening your understanding of one another!

Rest, relax and unwind together

What better way to unwind from the stress of everyday life than a relaxing spa for one - or two! Draw up a soothing bath, filled with salts and foam, for that much needed relaxation on this special day. Light up scented candles to scintillate your senses and create a sense of calm in the space. Beyond setting the mood, scents seep into our consciousness, serving as a poignant reminder of the tender connections created during intimate moments such as these.

Last but not least, a good bottle of champagne or wine pairs perfectly with anything. Even during spa moments. Remember our advice on an extra dose of love? This is the moment to go the extra mile with a tender body massage.

Alas, a “spa” is more than just candles and a bubble bath. Every spa you’ll go to captures the essence of tranquillity and relaxation with its choice of colours and pattern on its walls. And so, to set the perfect scene with your little diy project for your next Valentine’s, look into using soft-toned decor. The marble-y walls blending in with the space truly create an aesthetically pleasing setting which is soothing to all five senses.

Whether it be simple at-home experiences as shared above, or extravagant displays of love, it's always important to remember the little things that matter the most and make every day with your partner, all the more unique and close to the heart. So let the love continue to flow, strengthening your bonds and bringing you closer than ever to your significant other!
