Seasonal Hosting Must-Haves

With seasonal festivities comes holiday hosting… 

and as we approach the time of year for gathering and entertaining guests, we like to make a mental checklist of what we want to refresh to get our spaces guest ready. If you’re looking to elevate your space in time for the holiday season, here are some of our go-to tips. 

No. 1: Elevated linens  

When it comes to necessities for enhancing our guest’s experiences, refreshed linens are at the top of our list. From the sheets and towels in your guest spaces to the hand in your powder room and kitchen, it’s all about quality materials that feel thoughtful. 

No. 2: Fresh fragrances  

Fragrance can add so much to how we experience a space, especially during the holiday season. In cold winter months, we always try to create warmth and aroma with our senses, and when hosting, we pay special attention to how the fragrances in our home layer — from the hand soap in our kitchens to the scents from the candles we burn.  

To give our guests an even more elevated experience, we love using a fresh, natural laundry fragrance when washing sheets and towels.

No. 3: Pretty serveware 

Holiday hosting brings the perfect excuse to finally update your serveware, especially if you’re entertaining guests. During this time of year, we’re taking inventory of our breadboards, pitchers, and serving bowls to ensure we have everything we need to share our favorite snacks and treats.

No. 4: Extra cozy throws

You can never have too many throws during cold winter months. We love adding cozy throw blankets to our spaces for our guests to access in living and bedroom spaces. Plus, a few throws can go a long way in making your home feel more layered and textural.
