Summer is here, holidays are approaching: Host in style
Hosting in summer or during holidays? Here’s how to prepare your home for perfect, chic hospitality.
As summer vacation and the upcoming holidays approach, we've gathered all the precise and stylish hosting solutions to help you prepare your home and ensure your guests enjoy their stay. These items are practical for hosting and beautiful, so you don’t have to compromise.
Preparing Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements
It’s essential that our guests feel comfortable, so the first priority is arranging a pleasant sleeping space. When guests sleep in the living room, a pull-out sofa is an ideal solution. Choose a sofa that is comfortable and attractive, both when closed and open. Another option is a chaise lounge or modular sofa, allowing you to create a long bed. Nowadays, you can even find sofas with a depth of 1.20 meters for regular hosting.
Arranging the Guest Room
If you have a guest room, use the opportunity to make it inviting. Adding details like fresh flowers, books, or information about the area can enhance the experience. Extra bedding, designer towels, and pleasant scents can create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
The Let series consists of incredibly simple household items for the kitchen, bathroom, home spa, and more. These items are made from oak and beech wood, featuring functional details for easy use and a comfortable grip.
Dining Area and Seating Solutions
The dining area is a central place for hosting, full of experiences, conversations, and family moments. When hosting another family, additional seating and a large, spacious table are needed. The good news is that you don’t have to compromise. Nowadays, there are elegantly designed, extendable tables that are easy to open and use. Foldable or stackable chairs are also an ideal solution for hosting.
The Ronya Extendable Table by Nooi Studio for Bolia Denmark features smart design, simple rounded lines, and a unique built-in butterfly mechanism that extends the table elegantly with two simple movements. The unique opening mechanism allows the table surface to remain seamless when closed. The table frame is made of solid wood, and the tabletop comes in bleached or natural oak veneer, or Phoenix laminate in four colors: black, white, gray, or beige. At Prat Living, you can find this model alongside a variety of other meticulously designed extendable tables.
Choosing a table of the appropriate size that can easily accommodate your guests is crucial. A modular or extendable table is an excellent solution for hosting.
Designing the SpaceInvest in designing the dining area with a colorful centerpiece, candles, or fresh flowers to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Comfortable ChairsEnsure the chairs are comfortable and stable, allowing guests to sit for long periods without discomfort. Stackable chairs are a practical solution, as are storage poufs for blankets and items, or cool, beautiful folding wooden chairs.
Creating an AtmosphereUse soft lighting, such as hanging lamps or candles, to create an intimate and warm atmosphere during meals.
Impressive PresentationThink about presenting the food aesthetically with beautiful dishes, colorful napkins, and additional elements that enhance the look. Wooden trays, a cocktail set, or an impressive metal champagne bucket can add flair.
Food IdeasPlan a menu suitable for hosting, such as concept meals, a buffet, or simply a family dinner. Opt for food that’s easy to serve and customize for all guests.
Conversation and InteractionThe dining area is a perfect opportunity for conversation and bonding with your guests. Spend time enjoying conversations, games, and social activities.
The Supra chair by Ondaretta, designed by Sweden’s Studio Note, features clean lines, a minimalist silhouette, comfort, and original new finishes. The chair’s inner curve supports the back and offers flexibility for incredible comfort during extended sitting. The polypropylene version is raw, semi-transparent in several shades.
The chair legs are made of metal in various colors. There are multiple finish options, including wooden legs, a central rotating leg, and more. The chair can also be upholstered in various fabrics and comes in a bar stool version. The chairs are stackable.
