IN HEDONISTIC STYLE
How to host an Iconic Soire.
A "hedonistic" party is all about fun, intimacy, and entertainment, ensuring an unforgettable experience. If you want to host a truly remarkable celebration, dive into our expert guide for decorating your home and embracing hedonistic style this Christmas and New Year. Make it a party to remember!
No.1 Recreate the Venue
Elevate your home’s aesthetic with a modern take on the hotel style. Incorporate rich colors and textures alongside mid-century furniture to achieve a ‘Mad Men’-inspired lounge atmosphere. Consider framed bar chairs, angular cushions, and marbled coffee tables as key elements. Our memories of places are often linked to scents; therefore, enrich your space with home fragrances. Candles featuring woody oriental notes like Gourmand, or the citrusy accords of Bergamot, Grapefruit, or Neroli can enhance the indulgent vibe. Lighting plays a crucial role in creating an inviting atmosphere, so aim for warm, dark, and mysterious tones through statement lighting pieces, such as oversized table or floor lamps. Finally, curate a playlist of jazz or chill-out lounge music to set the perfect backdrop for late-night conversations.
No.2 Outsource the Cooking
Preparing a traditional Christmas roast can be such a daunting task that many people choose to dine out with friends and family instead. This year, you can save hours of stress by hiring a personal chef for the day, allowing you to focus on relaxing. A private chef can be booked online to come to your home and prepare the entire feast, giving you more time to enjoy quality moments with your loved ones. Skip the grocery shopping and the cooking, and instead, use that extra time to create a beautiful table setting. You can indulge in a customized and professional menu without having to worry about the dishes!
No.3 Open the Bar
What is a Christmas party without an open bar? A home drinks station can elevate your festive gathering! Choose a welcoming and spacious area in your home to set up your private bar, allowing guests to help themselves. Make sure to keep a drawer stocked with essential bar supplies, such as cocktail napkins, coasters, bottle openers, and stirrers. A home bar can fit well in various rooms, including the kitchen, hallway, dining room, or living room. Display your glassware prominently; placing them on shelves will allow for easy access, and using a mirrored display can add an elegant touch. A wine display is crucial for making an impression, and no home bar is complete without one. Remember to store wine bottles away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
No.4 Vintage Dining
Create a delightful and eclectic dining setting with emotive styling. Start with a vintage wooden dining table as your foundation. For seating arrangements, think of your favorite cozy spot and choose a variety of seating options. The more varied the patterns and textures, the better! Antique glassware can brighten up any beverage; opt for retro designs, extravagant decals, and nostalgic patterns. These initial steps will lay the groundwork for your indulgent dining experience. You can enhance it further with beautiful gray porcelain plates, brushed bronze cutlery, and metallic gold crackers. A perfect holiday table setting combines many layers!
