Level Up Your Summer Entertaining
Summertime means spending time outside by the pool, cozying up around a fire pit or hosting a backyard BBQ. Now is the perfect time to give your outdoor space a little extra love!
Here’s how:
Categorize. Group similar items together (glassware, cookware, linens and plates)
Edit. Take stock of what you have and keep only what you use.
Organize. Keep your categories together and keep most used items most accessible
Aesthetics. Beautiful bins, baskets, trays, and turntables are a perfect option for storing and/or displaying entertaining supplies for a polished look and bringing added texture into your design. Avoid brightly colored plastic containers, instead select elevated wood, coated metal, natural materials.
Pro Tip: When cleaning up from your guests, inventory items as you put them away in their homes. Add items that need to be replenished or replaced on your shopping list and items that need to be repaired on your to do list. This will help ensure you already have the entertaining supplies you need before your next gathering.
