When you have guests at home who are going on vacation, for example on holidays, bank holidays or Christmas, you might be wondering how to accommodate them all. Without proper organization at home, your home may end up in chaos, the decoration may end up obstructing the spaces and your intimates may not feel comfortable in your home.
Fortunately, it is actually quite easy to accommodate all kinds of different people. Some of these ideas just involve changing the furniture. Others may have you planning your next remodel. Here are some tips to organize your home to receive guests without being too chaotic for you.
Think privacy in living rooms
A hallmark of a well-organized home during a party is having several more intimate seating areas, where people can find rest or at least tranquility. You can mount different individual seats facing each other, without them being too far apart but not too close either. Adding an ottoman in the middle helps give the area some visual balance and organization.
The space itself can also be moved aside by a window, making it a cozy place to sit and enjoy a bit of contact with friends or family.
The color combination
As for the color combination, you have to find a good visual cohesion so that it is pleasant both for you and your guests. You can add chairs in light or relaxing colors such as blue with curtains in neutral tones, you can even create a monochromatic combination to encourage ambient relaxation.
Turquoise green chairs are also a good idea if you have the rest of neutral colors and even white. Paying attention to color can make a living room look like your own design element in the room.
The importance of the welcoming lobby
It is necessary that your guests feel that they are welcome to your home and this is done from the hall of your home. Make sure it's cozy and elegant to set the tone when guests flock to it. You can pawn small accents like plants that can give a warm and lively touch to the place.
Having personalized items like a piece of art or family photos will also make this space cozy and warm, something guests will love to enjoy. Matching rugs give a sense of well-planned cohesion and they can help set the design tone that guests can expect in the rest of the home.
Seating areas by the door are good for guests to remove their shoes or rest.
Multiple spaces in the home
It is important that you have different spaces for the different interests that your guests may have. It can be tempting to have a pattern in which the furniture is arranged around the TV when you are organizing your home for entertaining. After all, this is how we tend to live the rest of the time when we don't have guests. However, you may want to pay special attention to how the space is organized to accommodate different interests. Not everyone likes to hang out watching TV ...
For example, you can create a quiet area for reading, another play area with a target or a pool table, a table with individual chairs to drink coffee and chat ... the options are multiple. Think about how your guests are to choose the best options. What if you put a game table with board games for them to enjoy without having to be in front of the TV all the time?
Sections in the living room to be more comfortable
If you arrange different seats in different sections in your living room, your guests will be able to choose the seats that they like best to hang out together. If you have small spaces, a larger sectional sofa can work well for guests. It's counterintuitive, but larger one-piece furniture sets work well in smaller rooms, as space with lots of chairs can take up more floor space.
People can sit next to each other and talk or watch television. The game with ottomans is always welcome because you can put them as a coffee table but use them as a seat whenever necessary.
With this organization in your living room, your guests will feel at home and will enjoy great evenings in your home. When you have guests it is important that you think about how they will feel when they are in your house. Do a reflection work, imagine that it is not your home and that if you were the guest, how you would like everything to be organized to maximize your comfort.
