Have a seat

Many seating, long tables, couches along the wall & some space around, does the trick for simple socializing. I like when it is plenty of space without the feeling of a cramped environment. It’s simply nice with floor space, when possible. It is not always necessary with enormous rooms, either. You can always refine the use to suit the purpose. If you have a dining area, let it be a dining room & make space for many. Put two tables together for the space & mix different chairs to make it less formal. Try to keep focus on the main function to avoid a messy impression or environment.

We all have things that requires storage, which also should be easy to use when necessary. Everything doesn’t need to be visible. Especially when there are loads of clever usage of walls for open or closed storage. Also stylish beds, sofas, bookshelves & patio furniture to use for convenient storage. Endless possibilities, if you so wish. I will not dwell on the subject, but more show attractive solutions with long seating. Whether it’s sofas, dining table or the like. Just because I am so childishly fond of that.

Dinner time

The best way ever to entertain, I believe, is to get together over a meal, eat, drink & discuss. The meaning of life, human differences, world history or simple everyday pleasures. Talking points are important but more importantly are the group of people that you surround yourself with. Those who makes the difference – who makes you feel comfortable, feel good & warms you … in body & soul … including the dining area!

Cozy, comfortable, nice, pleasing – things that matters, sometimes more than the food you are served. Environments depends on what you prefer or are used to. It’s rarely about impression, in the true sense. It contributes to the atmosphere, of course. I would lie if i said that space or environment wasn’t important. But the point is that it’s more important with the people participating. The personalities that makes the event. From the topics of discussion, to the life they have lived, their attitude to things. A certain smile, a silence that is pleasant or a constant cackling taking place but that is contagious.

Amidst all this, the common dining area is also part of the whole. That which creates wellbeing, together with the aromas & flavors, lit candles plus mood lighting, AND the music. So, to sum it all up – space, enables the place & the individuals makes the event. I hope this makes sense in english 🙂
