Are you someone who is always throwing one party after another? If you are a party animal who loves hosting, these tips are for you. With these tips, you will be able to ensure your home is party-ready whenever there’s something to celebrate.
Be Mindful of Choosing Furniture
Setting the stage for the party of the century starts with decorating your dining and living room. Typically, these two are the rooms where the guests will be allowed to roam freely and mingle with each other.
Think of an open layout for these rooms. Don’t cram these two rooms too much with furniture and accessories. Keep it light so that guests have enough space to roam around, dance, and be merry.
Some essential furniture pieces that you must include are:
- Sofa: You can never not have a sofa in your living room. This is more than a place to sit. It is a point of visual interest and can be the main interest of the room. You will find sofa sets in a wide variety in terms of size, shape, color, and pattern. Choose the size or style that suits the overall decor and theme of your home. Also, consider the size of your room. Even if your living room is palatial, don’t try to fit in a huge sofa set that takes up all the space. You must leave some room for the guests to walk around and stretch their legs. Hence, measure the living room before visiting a premium sofa store in Kolkata. Also, research the materials and upholsteries you would prefer. For a casual and fun vibe, leather sofas are the ideal option. But if your parties are upscale ones, you may want to check out velvet sofas or something more regal.
- Dinner table and chairs: How would a dining room look without a dining table and comfortable chairs? This is the room where your guests will enjoy delectable meals. And as you know, parties are never complete without delicious food. So, carefully consider the table size and style. Here, too, the size of the room is an important factor to consider.
Besides the sofa and dining table, other furniture you can consider are ottomans, armchairs and coffee tables. These help elevate the visual appeal of a living or dining room.
Now that you have your furniture sorted out and the sofa set is well-liked by the guests, let’s move on to the other crucial elements for a successful house party.
Let there be Light!
Unless the theme of the party is ‘halloween,’ you will need proper lighting for a successful party. You can decorate your dining room with a modern chandelier. Fit it right above the dining table so that the focus is on the people sitting around the dining table.
As for the living room, you can opt for a modern chandelier, or you can use floor and table lamps. Pendant lighting is also trending for living rooms.
Besides these staple lighting fixtures, you can decorate your home with candles. This will be done just for the party. Scented candles will not only add light but also an intoxicating aroma to the environment. But if you think candles are too risky, you can even find flameless tea light candles that are perfect for parties.
If you want more lighting options, you can visit one of the high end furniture stores in Kolkata and carefully go through your options.
Add Some Flowers
The vibrancy of flowers can instantly elevate an environment and make your home party-ready. You can place the flower vases on the dining table, bookshelves, or coffee table in the living room.
Besides using flower vases, you can get creative and find new ways to incorporate flowers into your decor. Fresh flowers will instantly elevate the mood.
Please note that this is a temporary solution and you will have to keep bringing fresh flowers every time there’s a party. For a more permanent solution, you can incorporate greens into your home decor in the form of house plants. These can be kept not only in your living room and dining room but also in the bathroom. If there’s a balcony, you can grow plants. Do you have a window sill? You can hang potted plants.
Elevate the Decor with Accessories
How can you be ready without the final touches? The final touches can be in various forms, and some of them are discussed below:
- The sofa is a premium furniture in Kolkata, and although it looks fantastic the way it is, you can elevate its visual appeal by adding a few throw pillows and cushions. This will also make the sofa much more comfortable and welcoming for your guests.
- The dining chairs can also have cushions so that the guests find it comfortable to sit and chat for a long time.
- The dining table can have table runners and candle stands.
- The living room can be covered with a beautiful-looking rug. You can choose to use a single rug for the entire room or break it up. Place a rug under the sofa, and then place a rug under the coffee table. You can leave the rest of the room bare for a contrasting visual appeal.
- Do not forget the walls. The walls are an essential part of your home. In the living room, you can dedicate one of the three walls to display wall art. Or it can be of a different color. This will spark a visual interest.
Last but not least, don’t forget to cook up delicious meals and always have the bar full with a healthy mix of cocktails and mocktails. No party is complete without a fully stocked bar. If you don’t have a bar, ensure the drinks and averages are easily available to your guests.
So, there you have it! The next time you are decorating your home, keep these in mind. These tips will ensure you are always party-ready.
