When hosting in small spaces, chose all elements of your space with intentionality. Consider open shelving so all you need is in reach.

In small spaces, you want to make every choice count. Using convertible furniture is an easy way to have one item serve many functions.

Use vertical space for storage. Shelves, hooks, and wall hangers help utilize vertical space that would otherwise be empty.

Swith up zones for hosting. Get creative with your spaces. A cozy home office can be converted into an intimate place to have cocktails with your friends. Your dining area can be more than just a place to eat; try putting on some music and playing board games with your friends and family.
