Come dine with me, AW edition 24/08/2022 How do you keep guests entertained at home? If you are short on fun dinner party ideas for when the months turn cooler, take some inspiration from these versatile, practical yet stylish additions to the home that will make throwing the ultimate dinner party a walk in the park. Incorporate a drinks cabinet or bar trolley into the home A drinks cabinet not only provides storage for all your party essentials, but can enhance interior schemes when used as a display area for your favourite beverages and glassware. Pair with artwork or plants to create an eclectic look. All that’s left then is for a budding mixologist to take to the stage and show off their skills. Why not get your guests involved and ask them all to bring a cocktail recipe with them and see who makes the best bartender? Alternatively, if you want to be able to bring the life of the party into any room, opt for a drinks trolley. This portable option is great for entertaining guests for the weekend as you can use it to serve drinks in the evenings and breakfast accompaniments the morning after – we’re thinking mimosas and fresh peaches. Set the Scene When it comes to the best food for entertaining at home, it all depends on your taste. Italian dinner party recipes or winter buffet menus can be great sources of inspiration and depending on what you choose, you could even make the main event interactive. Sharing boards look great on a bench table such as our Reeves design, and any communal dishes can easily be passed down the table. If you prefer the fine dining feel, our brand-new Westbourne Dining Table will bring you all together with its curvaceous design and refined combination of organic mango wood and natural white marble. Comfort is key Moving away from dining room décor, it’s only fair that your guests should be able to put their feet up after a long day of chatting and catch ups. Click play on some lounge Jazz or bring out the boardgames, and direct your guests to a comfortable armchair or footstool where they can settle in to the wind down atmosphere.
