Temperatures are plummeting, lights are twinkling and we're snuggling up inside under cosy blankets. It's almost time for the big day, but is your home hosting ready?
No need to panic! Whether you're hosting overnight guests, managing a crowd for Christmas dinner, or creating space for festive gatherings, the right furniture makes all the difference. From extendable tables to hidden storage, here's how to prepare your home for Christmas entertaining.
Space savers: make sure there's always room at the inn
When hosting large groups at Christmas, it's always hard to work out how to effectively segment your space to allow for comfortable dining and lounging. That's why furniture that is extendable, multipurpose or has secret storage is a win this holiday season.
Check out some of our favourite space savers:
Maru Oval 6-8 Seater Extending Oak Pedestal Dining Table
Our extendable Maru dining tables are the perfect way to accommodate everybody at the table while leaving enough space to enjoy the festive merriment. Simply extend the table before sitting down to your Christmas dinner and then once you're finished shrink it so that you have enough space to enjoy the rest of your day.
Oakley Velvet Upholstered 3 Seater Dining Bench
No need to be crammed in like sardines on mismatched chairs around the dining table this Christmas, our stylish Oakley dining benches provide flexible seating that allows everyone to fit around the table with ease.
Providing both storage and seating, our Maru storage ottoman bench is the perfect place to store shoes or soft furnishings while offering an additional place for guests to perch.
Daphnis Large 3-Seater Velvet Sofa Bed
Effortlessly transition from comfy daytime seating to snug slumber with our Daphnis sofa bed, no need for big bed frames and bulky mattresses taking up space all year round.
Cosy comfort for overnight guests
Make sure your guests keep feeling the festive warmth into their slumber. Adding extra layers like flat sheets and bedspreads to your guest beds when overnight hosting will make sure that your visitors stay feeling cosy all night long. Whether you want to co-ordinate with your guest bedroom furniture or add a fun pop of colour, our range of beautiful bedding has something for everyone.
Have wooden or laminate flooring? Think rugs!
Accessorise your guest rooms with a rug to save your visitors' feet from that cold floor.
