By Suhani Lotlikar

 

When it comes to hosting a party at home, the decor sets the tone for the entire event. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a lively gathering, these ten home decor essentials will ensure your soirée is remembered for all the right reasons.

 

1. Lighting Is The Star

Start with lighting to create the perfect atmosphere. Fairy lights, lanterns and dimmable lamps can transform a room from ordinary to enchanting. Opt for warm, soft lighting to add a cozy and inviting feel.

 

2. Top Tableware

Your dining table is the heart of the party. Invest in elegant tableware—think chic plates, crystal glasses and polished cutlery. A beautifully set table not only impresses guests but also enhances the dining experience.

 

3. Fresh Flower

Be it for a special event, open garden space or inside your home, flowers bring life and color to any setting. Choose seasonal blooms and arrange them in stylish vases. Place them strategically around the house, especially as a centerpiece on your dining table.

 

4. Themed Décor and Vibe

Having a theme can add an extra layer of fun and create a certain vibe. Whether it’s a weekend house party with a big group or a cozy film screening with close friends, themed decor helps in creating a cohesive and immersive experience for your guests.

 

5. Plush Cushions And Throws

Make your seating arrangements comfortable and stylish with plush cushions and throws. They not only add to the decor but also ensure that your guests can lounge comfortably throughout the evening.

 

6. Scented Candles

Engage all senses by incorporating scented candles. Editor’s choice: choose two-toned fragrances like lavender and smoked wood or cardamom and dark amber that are elevated, yet not overpowering. The flickering candlelight also adds to the ambience.

PS… always trim the wick before lighting up the candle for a consistent flame.

 

7. Music Setup

No party is complete without music. Ensure you have a good sound system or Bluetooth speakers that are pre-charged or properly plugged in. Curate a playlist that complements the theme of your party and keeps the energy high.

 

8. Decorative Trays

Don’t just hand food and drinks to your guests. Instead use decorative trays to serve snacks and drinks as they add an element of sophistication and help in keeping things organized. Opt for wooden trays that match your overall decor theme and avoid plastic ones.

 

9. Dress Your Walls With Art

Spruce up your walls with art and wall hangings. They add character and can be great conversation starters. Choose pieces that resonate with the theme of your room décor and keep the inspirational quotes artwork in your bedroom.

 

10. Personal Touches

Lastly, add personal touches. It could be a photo wall with memories of you and your friends or customized name cards for the sit-down dinner table. Going the extra mile with these small details make your guests feel special and cherished.

Remember, the key is to create a warm, welcoming and visually appealing space where your guests can relax and enjoy themselves. When hosting, be receptive to the idea of opening your house doors to guests and be prepared for the cleaning up that comes after the party. So, go ahead, get creative and let your home be the address for the best parties in your friends’ group.
