Extendable Solutions for Your Extended Family

It’s that time of year!  Gathering family and friends together to enjoy company, cozy spaces, and food. But has your circle of friends and family outgrown your entertaining space? Don’t let that limit your invitations! Use some smart ideas and furnishings to keep your holiday entertaining going all season long.

Dining table getting a little crowded? A table with extendable leaves (drop, pocket, or even ones that store inside the table) can give you floor space for the everyday, but also seating space for entertaining. The NORDEN gateleg table folds up to just 10” wide, perfect to tuck away or use as a entry table, but opens to seat four comfortably. (And the six drawers are great for storing linens, cutlery, or candlesticks!)

Table top too crowded? Using a tiered serving tray lets you go up, not just out – leaving room for those other important things... like plates and silverware!

Not enough chairs to go around? Folding chairs are quick to set up and don’t take a lot of storage space. Or, set up a seating area around a low table (like a coffee table) with cushions or low stools.

 

The most important thing to remember is that friends and family gathering together is always a fun time. These tips will make your event run a little smoother, but the people surrounding you will make the party! Enjoy!
