Make your home the first place your friends want to celebrate after the pandemic. From social floor plans to party-friendly wall art, follow these tips to achieve the ultimate entertainment value. Host unforgettable get-togethers, and make your space the talk of the town.
Keep it Open
It’s no secret that an open floor plan is a host’s best friend. Ideal for dinner parties, an open plan allows you to serve and socialize at the same time. If you aren’t able to create an open-style floor plan in your home, consider adding a rolling island that allows you to prepare food anywhere! Select dishes that require minimal prep time so that you can cook and chat with your guests at the same time. You can also serve your food buffet style to keep the acting in the main living space.

Consider Your Audience
When creating the ultimate space for entertaining, it’s important to consider your audience. If your friends love to get wild, leave enough open space for dancing at the end of the night! If your crowd is slightly more chill, make sure there is plenty of seating for convenient conversations. Always remember to provide enough empty surfaces around your home for guests to place their empty plates and glasses, so they aren’t stuck carrying around dishes all night. From karaoke to wine tasting, give your group access to activities that suit their style.

Theater Room Ideas
Your home will instantly become the center of entertainment with the addition of a home theater. You can easily turn your living room into a home theater in a few simple steps. First, opt for a projector and a pull-down screen for a cinematic effect. Then, choose sofas that can be converted into beds for ultimate relaxation. Finally, add dimmable lighting so you can control the brightness of the room. When it comes to essential home theatre decorations, make sure to have enough pillows and blankets for maximum comfort. You can also create an outdoor movie-viewing space if you live in a locale with mild weather! For home theatre wall décor, frame full-size movie posters.
