Your living room may be cosy enough for you and your family, but with the festive season creeping up you may have to play host.
If that’s the case you’re going to want to have your living room ready for some fun nights in. Often it’ll only need a few simple tweaks, but there are some more significant and permanent changes that can be made.
After months and now years of in-and-out lockdowns, your living room may be fit for you, but is it ready for ‘the gang’ getting back together? Here are 5 ideas that might be just what you need to get your living room ready for some winter house hosting.
While trinkets and nic-nacs are nice, they aren’t what you want in your home when there are people over.
Firstly, and most importantly, that’s because you don’t want them to get damaged from a boozy accident. But there’s also the added space that your room will have without baskets and plant pots everywhere.
Even if they are sitting in the corner of the room, the empty space will make your room feel that bit bigger. This is exactly what you want when there are guests over. It’s quick, easy, makes a difference, and all your bits and bobs can go right back out once everyone has gone home.
Your furniture is key. One little sofa won’t be enough for you and your friends, and even if you can squeeze on, it won’t be particularly comfortable. Why not invest in some furniture that you love, that captures your vision, but also accommodates guests coming over?
Is it going to be a winter of all-nighters? Maybe it’s time to look into getting a reclining armchair. While you may be making the change for the months ahead, furniture is a lifelong commitment, so it’s worth investing in.
Building off of that, it’s always a good idea to implement a centrepiece into your living space.
Somewhere that you can all gather around and catch up, a nice living room table being the obvious choice. It’ll make your house the obvious choice and opens up fun opportunities for games nights and pot lucks.
Guests love to be a bit nosey, so give them something to look at while they are over; whether it’s a painting or photos from the family holiday.
Some wall population can really capture your personality and allow you to host in a space that reflects you. It gives people something to look at and with the decluttering allows you to still get that cosy and homely feeling without taking up too much space.
Have you got an old fireplace that you haven’t used in years and years? Now is the perfect time to get some use out of it. Sitting around the fire when it’s cold is a great feeling and it brings some charm to your hosting experience.
Just make sure that the chimney hasn’t been blocked off!
