The festive season is upon us and for many this means having family and friends over. It’s been a tough two years not being able to really have visitors from far, so you may feel a little overwhelmed with the idea of hosting but here’s a guide from Truewood Furniture to help you host like a pro;

Comfort is key
It goes without saying that when having guests sleep over, comfort shouldn’t be compromised -there’s nothing worse than sleeping over at someone’s home and you don’t get some sleep. Clear up any clutter and items that aren’t in use, make space so people feel at home. Don’t have space?
Truewood’s Pullout Bed could be just what you need, it’s a real wood, three- quarter bed with an under bed (trundle). Truewood have just launched the Easyliner Recliner Couch that is the epitome of ultimate comfort and relaxation, it creates an inviting atmosphere, the definition of sit back
and relax, it’s definitely an easy way to earn extra brownie points with your father or mother in-law, especially because its electric driven and not the usual manual struggle
Buy Bulk
Bulk buying groceries will be a little easier on your pocket than buying items individually. You’ll also be aunty/uncle of the year if your niece and nephews find out you have an endless supply of their favourite goodies in your pantry. Make sure you also buy everything in advance, you don’t want to be part of the last-minute rush.
A little extra
Pack some extra supplies in your guest room to make the experience of being in your home even more pleasant for your guests. An extra toothbrush, hairdryer, pair of socks, shower cap etc. It may all seem like small things to you but could make a world of difference to your nephew who could be having a bad hair day.
All hands-on deck
Don’t put pressure on yourself by trying to manage everything, share the load. Ensure guests make themselves at home and are happy to make their own drinks, snacks etc. They can help with the tidying up as well. It really doesn’t have to be overwhelming having all your favourite people over. Plan and make the necessary provisions ahead, don’t forget to stop and enjoy every
moment!
