PINTEREST’S HEAD OF HOME MATT SIBERRY SHARES THE TOP TRENDS FOR ENTERTAINING THAT PEOPLE ARE ‘PINNING’ THE MOST THIS SEASON
As we enter another New Year, it's natural to think about ways to refresh our lives.
Maybe a wardrobe update, a cupboard declutter, or even a touch of home redecoration? And let's not forget about those cherished friendships that may have taken a backseat during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. The start of the year offers the perfect chance to rekindle those connections. So, why not extend an invitation, dust off your hosting skills, and relish in the joy of entertaining guests at home?
Now, you might be thinking that throwing a party sounds a bit too fancy after the recent festivities, but enjoying good company doesn’t always demand a full-blown boozy celebration, especially with the popularity of Dry January.
There are plenty of enjoyable activities to do at home instead, such as a themed dinner, a firepit gathering, a games night or a movie marathon. The ultimate goal is to cherish each other’s company. So, to help you entertainment-proof your home in preparation, here are some of the top trends that I’m enjoying on Pinterest.
DÉCOR DIRECTION Making guests feel comfortable and welcome in your home is a crucial part of entertaining, and a simple way to achieve this is with your décor. Natural elements, such as wood, can have a significant impact on the ambience of your home. Not only is wood eco-friendly, but it also provides excellent insulation and can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will put your guests at ease effortlessly. Another way to build a sense of unity in your home is by using consistent colour and patterns throughout. This helps to bring a cohesive feel to every room, whether it’s with rugs, cushions or even the wall colours to make each room feel like part of a larger communal space.
