Transform Your Small Space into an Ideal Area for Entertaining

Decorating with Intention

Decorating with intention means being mindful of the purpose and meaning behind the objects you choose to display in your space. It involves selecting items that align with your personal style and aesthetic, while also serving a functional or emotional purpose. Decorating with intention can help create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere in your home. Finding interesting breweriana to decorate your minibar or dining room temporarily can make your beer tasting party memorable for all guests.

• Mirror magic: Mirrors can make a room appear more spacious and brighter by reflecting light. Strategically placing mirrors, such as across from a window, can create the illusion of a second window and bring in more natural light, which can contribute to a healthier living space.

• Swings for floor space: Using indoor swings, such as the traditional egg swing, can be an effective way to free up floor space and make your home appear larger while still maintaining seating space.

• Incorporate musical instruments into your design: Create a musical gallery wall by mounting your instruments or consider using a small Bluetooth speaker instead of a large stereo with speakers.

• Projector instead of TV: If you want to improve your entertaining area by removing your home entertainment center but still want to watch movies and shows, there is a solution. Projectors have significantly improved in quality and size. You can mount a discreet projector in your living room and place a collapsible screen behind a piece of furniture to allow you to remove TVs from your small space.

• Invoke emotion with intriguing wall art: One way to add a personal touch to your small space is to hang interesting wall art, such as a gallery wall or custom neon signs. This not only enhances the space but also serves as a conversation starter when entertaining guests. Custom neon signs in particular can be perfect for a beer-focused gathering, as they may remind partygoers of their favorite watering hole or local restaurant.

• Gamify: The trend of table games is returning but fitting them into small spaces can be a challenge. However, some table makers now offer ping pong, hockey and shuffleboard tables that also function as dining room tables, effectively creating a game room that can be hidden away when not in use.

• Mini bar for mini spaces: Adding a mini bar in your small space can be a fun way to create a separate area for mixing drinks and entertaining guests. A well-organized countertop or bar cart can make for a great mini bar without taking up too much space. This is an eminently important tip if you’re looking to host a beer event in your small space.

Space-Conscious Furniture

When dealing with limited space, the furniture you choose is crucial. Consider these tips when selecting furniture for your small space.

• Opt for furniture with legs: Pieces with visible legs give the illusion of more space, as they allow light to pass through and create a sense of openness.

• Consider multipurpose furniture: Pieces that can be used for multiple functions, such as a storage ottoman that can also be used as extra seating or a coffee table that can double as a desk.

• Choose furniture with a smaller footprint: Pieces that take up less floor space, such as armless chairs or a loveseat instead of a sofa, can help make a room feel larger.

• Maximize vertical space: Tall bookcases or shelving units can provide additional storage while taking up minimal floor space.

• Consider collapsible or foldable furniture: Pieces that can be easily stored away when not in use, such as a folding dining table or collapsible chairs, can be a great space-saving solution.
