Think about your entertaining needs
Notes:
- The space you design should be influenced by the type of events you tend to host. If you are a young couple who likes to entertain other couples and friends, somewhere you can sit, eat, and drink in comfort or an outside barbeque area might be best.
- If you are an older person or couple with grown children and/or grandchildren, you could design an open space with room for little ones to run around and play games.
- If you are more likely to organize a formal dinner party for colleagues, neighbors, or new acquaintances, a room with a large dining table and chairs would be ideal. The point is to think about the types of get-togethers you are planning to host now and in the foreseeable future.

Make your entrance more inviting
Notes:
- Consider what your guests will see, smell, and feel when they first enter your home. It should complement the general ambiance and décor of your home, whether that is comfortable and cozy or grandiose and formal.
- Guests should be able to walk in and take their coats off, and ideally, you should have somewhere to store them until they leave. You might want to light soothing scented candles in the entrance to relax guests as they arrive.

Create an outdoor entertainment space
Notes:
- When the weather allows, there is nothing quite like entertaining outside in the fresh air and sunshine. From barbeques and beers to fresh salads and cocktails, a versatile outdoor living space with decking, porch, or patio with seating and dining space is ideal.
- You could even invest in an outdoor kitchen space, tiki bar, or a swimming pool to make your outside space even more memorable for your guests. If the layout of your home allows, consider installing bifold doors in the place of an external wall, which can be folded back to remove the barrier between inside and outside.

Ensure your powder room is private
Notes:
- Ensure your powder room is private. If you are planning to renovate your home, you should consider including a downstairs powder room within the design.
- If you place it near to the kitchen, you will be able to make use of the kitchen’s plumbing, which should reduce some cost. Ideally, it should also be positioned away from the main entertaining space so that guests can slip away discreetly without feeling self-conscious.
- The powder room should be clean and tidy, well-stocked with toilet paper, handwash, and moisturizer, and able to be locked.

Consider where your staging area will be
Notes:
- While an open floor plan can be effective in terms of providing plenty of space for your guests to relax and mingle, it can mean that you have nowhere to ‘stage’ your event, i.e., prepare the food and drinks, without creating a mess in the entertaining space.
- Consider adding a small kitchen area that adjoins to the main space so you can quickly nip behind the scenes as and when you need to and can put the dirty plates and glasses until the end of the night.
