How to Design the Perfect Dinner Party Kitchen
Bells Kitchens & Bathrooms • January 22, 2020
The kitchen is the heart of the home; it’s where we eat pancakes on a Saturday morning, catch up with our children over an after-school snack and, on special occasions, it’s where we host dinner parties. There’s nothing more exciting than hosting a dinner or drinks party, but without a stylish kitchen it just isn’t the same.
If you love hosting for friends and family, make sure you’ve got the perfect kitchen to help you create the right party atmosphere. To help you design the ideal kitchen for you, we’ve listed our top tips below!
Opt for stylish worktops
In every kitchen, the worktops are one of the most important design features. They give you space to offer your guests food and to set drinks down - and will garner a lot of attention. To impress, opt for a worktop design that’s stylish yet easy to wipe clean, such as quartz or granite.
Create a centrepiece
To encourage your guests to get to know each other, and to make sure you have plenty of seats for dinner, you’ll need to pick a large table for your kitchen or dining area. A particularly popular option that transitions perfectly from dining to party time is a breakfast bar: guests can sit comfortably to eat or gather around when the drinks start flowing!
Choose atmospheric lighting
Bright lights may be ideal when you’re cooking, but when it’s time to host guests you’ll want something a little more atmospheric. To set the mood, consider switching it up with zoned lighting, such as under-cabinet lighting, which allows you to illuminate certain parts of the kitchen and keep the rest of the room dimmed.
Invest in the best kitchen appliances
You can’t serve delicious dinner party food without the perfect appliances! Making sure you have everything from a large refrigerator to an energy-efficient oven is essential for hosting guests and minimising your stress levels. You’ll also need top-quality kitchen appliances when you’re not entertaining, so make sure you opt for the best.
