Expanding our living spaces beyond the confines of our homes into the great outdoors offers endless opportunities for memorable gatherings with friends and family. As you prepare to host outdoor events, Furniture Source International shares ten tips to enhance your outdoor entertaining experience.
- Prepare Your Space
Kick off your outdoor entertaining by tidying up your outdoor space. Mow the lawn, clear away debris, and stow away any unnecessary items to create a welcoming atmosphere. A clean and organized outdoor space sets the stage for a relaxing and enjoyable gathering.
- Decorate
Add a touch of charm to your outdoor furniture and tabletops with decorative accents. Incorporate fresh cuttings from your lawn or flowers from the store into vases or bowls to enhance your outdoor decor. Outdoor throw pillows and accent pottery can provide both style and comfort for your guests.
- Consider Food Choices
Cater to your guests’ tastes by offering a variety of food options. While you don’t need to prepare separate meals for each guest, providing a selection of dishes ensures everyone finds something to enjoy. Explore our range of dishes and serveware to complement your culinary creations.
- Outdoor Lighting
Extend your outdoor entertaining into the evening with adequate lighting. Create a cozy ambiance with warm exterior light sets and hand-poured candles. Consider incorporating a fire pit or patio umbrella with built-in lighting to illuminate your outdoor space.
- Pest Control
Keep pesky bugs at bay with citronella-based candles or torches to ensure a comfortable outdoor experience for your guests. These natural repellents help deter unwanted guests without the need for chemical sprays.
- Seating and Dining
Invest in comfortable seating options to accommodate your guests during outdoor gatherings. Choose from a variety of lounge chairs, swivel armchairs, or full dining sets available at our showroom to suit your needs and style.
- Easy Cleanup
Simplify cleanup before and after your outdoor event with furniture that is easy to maintain. Explore our selection of anti-microbial and easily cleanable chairs and dining sets, allowing you to focus on enjoying the festivities.
- Beverage Selection
Enhance your outdoor entertaining experience with a selection of refreshing beverages. Consider pairing your meal with Puro Verde Organic Tequila or providing a variety of drink options for your guests. Explore our barware and accessories to elevate your beverage service.
- Entertainment Options
Keep guests of all ages entertained with outdoor games or activities. From children’s games to card games for adults, having entertainment options on hand ensures a lively atmosphere for your gathering.
- Relax and Enjoy
After all the preparations, don’t forget to relax and enjoy the company of your guests. Take a moment to unwind, mingle, and savor the evening in your beautifully prepared outdoor space. You’ve earned it!
