Forget the cliche gifts; Listening is the most romantic thing you can do. This Valentine's Day, honor your home-obsessed loved ones with design-led presents that make the space more comforting and target common pain points. Gwyneth Paltrow has the perfect recommendations.
The actress and wellness guru is a known design lover, embodied by her celebrity home decor collection with CB2. In this year's Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Goop, she puts her design sensibilities to good use. The guide features several candles and home technology ranging from a fridge to a bed cover. All of these gifts will last much longer than flowers and chocolate, making your home a more romantic place.
Paltrow's recommendations are perfectly in line with current interior design trends. Megan Slack, Head of Celebrity style at Homes & Gardens explains: 'As the idea that our interiors should be a curated reflection of our personalities has grown more popular, design elements as candles have become more common as gifts. These items are a thoughtful reflection that you are paying attention to what someone wants in their home environment. Items like the Pod mattress cover that adjusts sleep temperature can have huge wellness impacts, improving both the look and experience of home.'
