Setting up your home for the joy of the unexpected opens so many more opportunities for connection, but while the activity itself may be spontaneous, organisation, clever storage solutions, multifunctional pieces and space savers are what will take the stress out of hosting, even in a small apartment.
 

Small home, small plates

Instead of opting for a big sit-down meal, tapas are steamed over two portable induction hobs. Small plates take the stress out of cooking and mean food can be enjoyed in stages throughout the evening.


 

Make space for more with multipurpose furniture

When living in a small home, multipurpose furniture is a must! Stackable stools and a nesting table set take up very little room when not in use while being super useful when friends come around. Extra seating and table space? You got it!


 

Dinnerware in open storage for easy delegating

One tip for easy entertaining? Share out the tasks! It will make your life simpler and your friends feel more included. A dinnerware set in open storage makes laying the table easy as everything is on display and a cinch to find.
