How to Style Your Home for Seasonal Entertaining

Festive Entertaining

The winter months really are for celebrating with family and friends, so there’s no better time to get your home ready. Each room has its own function and purpose so why not use them to their full potential? Starting with the kitchen; now you might not need a major renovation here, but it’s always nice to give it a different look for the festive period. If you are looking to go big with a look that will last through all of the seasons, then why not add a bit of blue? We love the way our Poitiers Azure Blue tiles look against white marble surfaces - the statement colour adds a contrasting feel whilst working effortlessly as a striking feature wall, especially when paired with seasonal finishes over the festive months.

If you aren't looking to go all out on a renovation then why not give your brassware a simple update? Incorporating a brushed brass or matt black finish can really make a difference to kitchen interiors and add that hint of colour you’ve been longing for. Add hints of holly and some festive décor for a refreshing scheme that will be sure to wow your guests over the festive period.

New Year Celebrations

With the New Year fast approaching, it’s the ideal time to get rid of any unnecessary items and introduce new trends into the home. If you're hoping to redecorate your dining area with a new look, this can be easily achieved by adding in accessories. However, for those wanting to make more of a real statement, we recommend sprucing up your walls with a refreshing new look. Our Nature Bone Concept tile makes for an eye-catching option for this style interior, as the textured surface adds depth to a scheme and pairs beautifully with hints of ivy, modern accessories and a neutral colour palette. 

A statement floor also injects lots of personality into a room and draws the eye, allowing the furniture and accessories to remain unchanged. We've noticed that patterned tiles have made a huge comeback and are perfect for incorporating interest and colour to interiors. Our Cuban and Havana tiles make a great choice for beautiful flooring in the home. 

Spring & Summer Dining 

Although the summer months feel far away, there’s nothing wrong with forward planning and creating an interior scheme perfect for summer entertaining. You don't necessarily have to go to extreme lengths - designing a space that is simply relaxing, comfortable and well shaded will be certain to please guests. 

An inviting interior can be achieved by simply adding in soft furnishings and punchy pops of colour. Start by bringing the outside in and create a smooth transition from spring to summer. Add in sprigs of greenery and wicker furniture pieces that will add a natural-toned aesthetic. Or go large and refresh your surfaces with neutral tiles that will make areas appear spacious and more open. Our Knole cream tiles work beautifully when paired with wooden flooring and Scandinavian influences - the textural appeal creates a warm and welcoming appeal, providing you with a stunning dining room setting for entertaining over the warmer months.
