Sometimes, we have small apartment, kitchen, or dining room and people prefer to receive guests. Here, there are some l list of a few ways you can pull together a perfect place where guests will embrace the charm of your cozy space.
① Clean & minimize your clutter
Designate a space for coats & bags, and declutter as much as possible. The less clutter, the larger your space will feel.
② Keep decor low-key
Try using simple centerpieces such as a small bouquet or dried flowers in lieu of large centerpieces, and keep the color scheme monochromatic or neutral to lessen the visual clutter.
③ Get creative with seating & repurpose rooms
Don’t be afraid to get creative by pulling tables together or transforming the living room into the dining room, or use a bench in lieu of dining room chairs in order to squeeze extra seats around the table. A coffee table can instantly become a “dining area” when covered with a solid white tablecloth. Cozying up with close friends during a meal can make the experience much more memorable and fun!
④ Split up appetizers and / or outsource part of the meal
If you’re short on space in the dining room, put a few apps on the coffee table and the dining room buffet to discourage guests from congregating in one spot. Have a small kitchen? Pick up part of the meal from a local restaurant to give you more space to entertain (and less cleanup), or make it a potluck dinner, and have each guest bring part of the meal!
With a little planning and creativity, you can open your home to loved ones and create cherished memories regardless of square footage.
