Pick up any home decor magazine and you will find conversations about making your home more comfortable and attractive. Adding a place for family or friends to gather has become a top priority as people are seeking more connection. What’s the best way to accomplish this? We have worked with many customers throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties and here are just a few ideas on how you too can improve and redefine a gathering spot in your home.
Reinvent Your Kitchen:
One of the most popular requests we get from our customers is how to open up their kitchen to make it more of a gathering place. Gone are the days when the host disappeared into the kitchen while entertaining, these days the guests want to be part of the action. By simply reconfiguring the layout, we can find ways to add space for seated eating, enlarge the island or even add a walk-in pantry for storage to remove the normal kitchen clutter and make the room more appealing for visitors.
Knock Down a Living Room Wall:
This is where the fun can begin. Most of our customers don’t realize the dynamic shift in aesthetics that can happen when you knock a wall down and open up the space. Doing this means you can add more room for furniture, a small butler pantry or large built-ins to supplement your entertaining options. Some people even resize the area by devoting a smaller space to a cozy custom office and leaving the larger space to mingle with guests.
Finish Your Basement:
Don’t underestimate how quickly your basement can be converted into a fun space for entertaining. Finishing all or part of your existing basement can create an inviting new place to bring guests. By adding a few strategically placed “built-ins” you can gain space for a wet bar, a sturdy wall for a large TV or even expand the area for additional furniture.
