Arrange a summer party, part I: create space

Time to open up your home and celebrate summer! See how you can maximize space with simple, affordable, party-promoting changes (find links to the rest of your celebration below).

Mission: make room for more moves

Turning your living room into a dance hall for a night is all about freeing up floor space, i.e. placing furniture along the walls. Having a modular sofa or tables that can be nested is a clear bonus.

Separate seating and party space

Aim for a clear division of the room: the floor designated for dancing and movement, while the sidelines offer space for refreshments and catching one’s breath. For perfect mobility around guests, drinks and the room, throw a tray table into the mix.

Use textile to style and protect

Hide the things you want to be extra careful with behind a length of fabric (weighing it down with e.g. a fastened curtain rod makes it taut and protective). Besides decluttering the room, textiles help set a festive mood and make a good photo backdrop.

Rethink furniture for party purposes

There’s only so much stuff you can move out of the way. To ease the workload, try to repurpose furniture to help out with the party. Like turning a desk into a refreshment stand (complete with napkin disposal).

Sofas and tables go around the dance floor

Time to bust a move? Shift your furniture to the sides of the room next to the walls, so you get more chance to mingle and less chance to spill things on your sofa. Happy guests, great party, safe furniture.
