LiveMARYLAND: Homeowner Tips - How To Entertain In Small Spaces

We've put together a list of a few ways you can pull together a perfect party where guests will embrace the charm of your cozy space.

1. Clean & minimize your clutter

Designate a space for coats & bags, and declutter as much as possible. The less clutter, the larger your space will feel. 

2. Keep decor low-key

Try using simple centerpieces such as a small bouquet or dried flowers in lieu of large centerpieces, and keep the color scheme monochromatic or neutral to lessen the visual clutter. 

3. Get creative with seating & repurpose rooms

Don't be afraid to get creative by pulling tables together or transforming the living room into the dining room,  or use a bench in lieu of dining room chairs in order to squeeze extra seats around the table. A coffee table can instantly become a "dining area" when covered with a solid white tablecloth. Cozying up with close friends during a meal can make the experience much more memorable and fun!

4. Spread out appetizers

If you're short on space in the dining room, serve your apps on the coffee table or kitchen island to encourage guests to gather in more than one spot. Have a small kitchen? Pick up part of the meal from a local restaurant to give you more space to entertain (and less cleanup), or make it a potluck dinner, and have each guest bring part of the meal!

With a little planning and creativity, you can open your home to loved ones and create cherished memories regardless of square footage.
