Don’t let the cold temperatures stop you from entertaining!
Having an entertaining space in your home is a great way to bring family and friends together. Whether for a game night, a small party, or just spending time with family and friends, having a welcoming and lively space can make a big impact.
You can easily transform any room into a vibrant and inviting entertainment space, all just by incorporating different design elements. This article will guide you through practical tips and ideas to create a lovely entertaining space in your Bendigo home.
Layer Your Textures
Adding texture to your entertainment space can make it visually appealing and create a cosy ambience. Start by incorporating different textures in your furniture, such as a plush sofa or a patterned armchair like our Italian Gents Chair.
In addition, you can layer with throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs to add depth to the room. Our Drake hand-woven rug and Chevron Multi Plush Throw ticks all the right boxes. These cosy and stylish accessories are perfect additions to any living room or bedroom.
Simple Seating Area
A comfortable seating area is essential for any entertaining space. Instead of modular sofas or sectional couches, strategically place accent chairs or ottomans around the room. This creates an open and inviting atmosphere.
Our Cupid Accent Chair and Camino Wing Chair create the perfect combination of comfortable and stylish seating for any living room. If comfort is the key, you always have Alva Swivel Chair by LazyBoy.
Informal Family Space
Designating a separate area for informal family gatherings can foster a sense of togetherness. It can be a corner of your living room or a designated space within your larger entertaining area. This informal living room serves as a retreat where family members can relax, engage in leisure activities, and enjoy each other’s company.
Start by setting aside a cosy corner that accommodates everyone comfortably. Add a comfortable sectional sofa like our Sienna Modular or a set of Pavillion Etienne armchairs to provide ample seating. Finally, throw in our Virginia Throw to create an inviting atmosphere.
Accessorise with Style
When it comes to designing your Bendigo home, it’s the little details that make a big difference. Accessories are an excellent way to add visual interest and depth to a room.
However, when it comes to accessories, less is often more. Instead of cluttering your space with an abundance of items, curate your collection with intention.
Choose accent pieces that complement your existing colour scheme or add pops of contrasting colours to create visual interest. These could be anything eye-catching, like our Spring Tree of Life artwork, an intricately designed Chatsworth Silver Mirror, or our Tanager Sunset Table Lamp.
Cosy and Neutral
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by using a neutral colour palette. Shades like beige, grey, or creamy white can make the space feel cosy and timeless.
However, to create visual interest within a neutral colour scheme, you need to focus on layering textures. Incorporate different materials, such as cosy knit blankets like our Harlequin Dream Plush Throw, plush velvet pillows, and our Canyon rugs.
Split Your Sectional
Try splitting your sectional into different sections to create distinct seating areas. This arrangement is more versatile and flexible. Not only can you accommodate different seating preferences, but also create a more inviting and versatile space.
In addition, our Moderna Coffee Table or Dalton Slimline Ottoman in between the split sections creates a functional and central focal point.
Choose a Sculptural Coffee Table
Opt for a coffee table that not only serves its purpose but also adds a sculptural element to your entertaining space, like our Regent Oval Coffee Table. Look for unique designs with interesting shapes, textures, or materials that can become a conversation starter, better yet if it has storage like our Manto Coffee Table.
Let Your Personality Shine
Designing an entertaining space in your home is a creative endeavour that requires careful consideration, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. By layering textures, selecting suitable accessories and incorporating cosy and neutral elements, you can transform your space into a welcoming and captivating environment.
Last but not least, remember to personalise the space to reflect your unique taste and interests.
