Our Top Tips For Entertaining In Style
Everything in its place
Not only is a bar cart the quintessential entertaining item, it also adds immense function to your space. Entertain with ease by organizing all of your spirits and glassware ahead of time on your bar cart- we love the coastal vibes of this one from Serena and Lily.
Servingware aplenty
Never underestimate the need for good quality servingware. This is also the perfect way to add some color to your space in an inexpensive way- and you can switch it up each season! The fun palm print on these trays are perfect for summer gatherings.
Self serve stations
Are keyPro tip: set up self serve beverage stations for your guests when entertaining. Not only are these a huge hit, but also minimize the running around you have to do as a hostess. Fill to the brim with a good sangria and call it a day!
Make a statement
Chic glassware instantly adds a touch of sophistication to any get together. Ditch the plastic cups for these gold drinking glasses from Crate and Barrel- inexpensive enough that you can purchase a large set and still not worry if one breaks during a get together.
Versatile Furniture
We love this outdoor upholstered ottoman that offers extra seating and also doubles as an extra surface for guests to place their drinks (just add a fun tray!).
Down to the details
Consider investing in a few unexpected pieces to instantly upgrade your entertaining game- such as these wood and lacquer salad servers from Williams Sonoma.
Bring the indoors out
Create a space that people will never want to leave by looking at your outdoor space as a direct extension of your home. We love this outdoor pendant, the perfect addition to any covered deck or patio.
It’s all fun and games
Consider purchasing a few classic outdoor games to have out at your next barbecue. Endless entertainment and friendly competition guaranteed! Cornhole is our personal favorite here at Maloney Interiors- and while you can find a variety of sets online, we love the timeless design of this heirloom cornhole set that will be a staple at family gatherings for generations to come.
