Arrange a summer party, part II: set the mood
Party coming up! See how you can let your home rise to the occasion, with a big welcome and a festive mood to match.
Serving stands for a colourful welcome
Set a first impression that will last throughout the evening. Besides a welcoming drink and delicious bites, get your guests involved right away by assigning them a colour, e.g. by their pick of napkin shade. There, you’ve just integrated mood with activities (keep reading to see how).
Give your guests the green light to DJ
Set up a DJ booth with a note explaining how to connect the Bluetooth speaker. With a variable light source, you now have your guests at your fingertips. When you switch the lighting to a specific colour – say purple – the “purple guests” are in charge of the music for a set time period.
A side table to steal the show
To enhance the atmosphere, make little islands that contrast with the semi-darkness of the surrounding room. A mix of greenery and (fireproof) LED candles becomes a magnetic corner to flock around.
Curtains help keep the neighbours happy
If the people living next door aren’t already in your home, it’s a good idea to keep the party contained. Bolster your curtains by clipping fabric or bedlinen onto the rod. Besides muffling excess sound, the textiles add both colour and club feel.
Lighting your way to refreshments
While the dance floor shifts in colours and darkness, other areas are better suited for functional light. Let bright lighting chains give a guiding glow that still adds to the electric mood.
