\u003cp\u003eA great entertainment space is a good selling point in any home, while we may not be year-round party animals, there will always come a time when a special occasion calls for us to get out the good glasses and embrace the event at hand. Ideally you want your party to be contained to one area to create a sense of buzz in your home, people love to gather in kitchens and to be at the heart of where the action is, that’s when open-plan kitchens really come into their own!\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e

\u003cp\u003eFlow\u003c/p\u003e
\u003cp\u003eYou want your party to flow and so before the big event, clear any low-lying ornaments or unnecessary objects from surface areas that can be used for food platters and as a space for your guests to rest their glass. This also eliminates the potential for any accidental breakages, so think damage limitation and clear as much as possible away to either another room or to a higher level.\u003c/p\u003e

\u003cp\u003eAmbience\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e
\u003cp\u003eWith your entertainment space taking on a party mode, you need to inject some ambience into your room with seasonal blooms dotted around in different size and height display vases. Nothing too elaborate though as you don’t want to take up too much valuable surface area! Next, consider the lighting, dim overhead lights to create a soft glow, or turn off altogether and leave under unit task lighting on to add atmosphere. Embrace the magic of the season with a scattering of strategically placed tealights and fairy lights - the right lighting will be instrumental in setting the right mood for the occasion ahead.\u003c/p\u003e

\u003cp\u003eAfter a few hours socialising your guests might feel like a little respite from standing all evening and want to relax into a chair every now and then, so it’s important to have a few seating options available to them. Where space is at a premium place seating options in the least congested areas of your kitchen, kitchen stools tucked neatly under the overhang of your central island will serve their purpose without imposing on available space until needed. Add a few small low seats that can be tucked into corners without taking up too much room but can be pulled out as needed.\u003c/p\u003e
