How To Create The Ultimate Entertainers Home

Entertaining at home can be quite a laborious task. Many of us who love to host, entertain and gather in our homes can attest that hosting a successful social event requires a lot of pre-planning and organisational skills. A comfortable, stylish and functional space can relieve additional stress from planning and logistics. 

Designing the ultimate entertainers home can be as simple as adding features to existing areas of your home to optimise the space and encourage your guests to gather comfortably. We’ve compiled a list of design ideas to elevate how you entertain. 

Relax On An Island 

The island is the heart and meeting point of the kitchen, where everyone can come together and connect throughout the day. Whether you’re using the island as a spot to chat with your guests while cooking; a place to set up your mise en place for the dinner ahead; or to set it up as a bar to show off your mixologist skills, the kitchen island provides a space where you can easily interact with everyone. 

Throughout the week, a kitchen island is a perfect spot for those casual mid-week dinners with your family, as a breakfast bar to start the day or as a productive homework and study spot with the kids. This versatile design provides endless options for socialising, conversing or preparing food.

Impress With A Rustic BBQ

Embrace the Australian way of life by entertaining visitors with a classic BBQ. More than its functional purposes, installing a BBQ in your backyard creates a social cooking area where you can enjoy a drink and converse with your guests while firing up a delicious feast. The Civic Series from Austral Bricks brick is an excellent choice for a backyard BBQ as the clay material effectively retains heat, allowing you to spend more time with your guests and less time worrying about ensuring the temperature is sufficient. The Civic Series features a warm, rustic style that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. 

Create A Comfortable Experience

Implementing a spacious and airy atmosphere through furniture layout, open doors and lighting can create a welcoming and comfortable experience for your guests. Bi-fold, movable doors are excellent for indoor-outdoor flow between your kitchen, living space and outdoor areas. Installing operable doors instils a dynamic setting for you to host all year round. To elevate and continue the entertaining experience, a curated alfresco dining area is a wonderful addition for your guests to dine outside while remaining connected to the interior areas. 

Build A Basement Hangout

Adding a separate entertainment area to your home, such as a basement, is the perfect way to create a secluded hangout zone for you and your guests. If you're starting from a clean canvas, the design possibilities are endless, and you can curate this space to meet your entertaining style. Curate a relaxation zone with expansive lounges, plump armchairs, and an immersive viewing set-up. Level up your gatherings with a designated bar area and snack zone so you don’t have to miss any of the fun.
