Explore our top tips to create a cosy environment this season, to transform your home into the ultimate home for hosting your friends and family.

Spontaneous slumbers

Tis’ the season of cosy. And where better to be snug than an ultra comfy bed! For those without the luxury of a guest room, a sofa bed is the ultimate solution to impromptu overnight guests. Whether it’s the dreaded journey home after late night celebrations, loved ones from out of town staying for the weekend, or you simply want the utmost comfort when settling in for a film; a sofa bed is a great quick fix without compromising space! Add in a stylish storage solution to pop extra blankets and spare pillows, and you’re sure to make hosting seem a piece of cake!

Delectable dining

Set an atmosphere that’s the talk of the table this season. Upgrade your dining scene with sumptuous seating that’ll keep your guests comfy for hours on end. Our secret to stress free hosting is our Smart fabrics collection; available in velvet and cotton, these fabrics have a special finish for added durability and a resistant quality that prevents accidental spills from settling into the fibres. Often when we’re hosting, the call of the kitchen drags us away from our friends and family all too often. The solution? Add a side cabinet into the mix to store glasses and tipples, as well as arrange irresistible canapes on top… so you can keep your guests topped up without leaving the party.

Sociable styles

When it comes to hosting, for large groups in particular, furniture versatility is key to making your room work in a sociable setting. Say goodbye to talking to friends and family across the room or standing awkwardly due to inflexible seating and say hello to modular sofas. Not only can you design a modular sofa around your space, but you can also shuffle the configuration around to create arrangements better suited to entertaining. Plus, discover our Denver module, that works perfectly with our Long Island and Romy sofas as the ideal place to rest drinks or hors d’oeuvres.

Quiet time

Between celebrations and hosting is time to recuperate your energy with some rest and relaxation. Whether you’re settling down to enjoy a movie with family or taking some time to yourself, a comfy seat is essential. Cocoon yourself in plush velvets with extra cushions to keep you snug. For ultimate indulgence take a peek at our Long Island Recliner, or if you’ve already got the armchair for you then why not add a footstool to sweep you off those tired toes!
