Is your home ready for guests this Christmas? Over the festive period, the number of visitors we have seems to increase with people coming over a mulled wine, dinner or a quick cuppa and a mince pie. Make sure your home is ready to host and looking its best with these entertaining essentials.

Dining Room

Having enough dining chairs is often a problem when you have lots of people coming for dinner. A dining bench is a great option, especially if your party is made up of a few kids as more can fit onto a bench, the Stonemill Bench is the perfect option for extra diners. Stools are the great option for extra seats, when not needed they can sit in a bedroom or in the corner of your living room, but when needed can make the perfect perch for an extra person around the table. The Metal Drum Table, can be used a side table but makes the ideal stool when needed.

For family dinners and day to day dining, a small dining table is perfect, but for Christmas lunch when the numbers of diners can double if not treble, an extending dining table is a great option. The Mallani Extending Table will sit 4/6 comfortably day to day, add the two leaves and the table will seat 8/10.

Living Room

With the extra people, comes the need for extra perch for drinks and nibbles. A nest of tables is an ideal solution; nesting neatly together when not in use, but offering three surfaces to use when needed. The Contemporary Nest of Tables is a Myakka favourite and best seller, the contemporary design in solid sheesham wood means they will last forever and will look good with most styles of home décor.

Occasional Tables are great for special occasions where you have lots of extra guests. As a many of our occasional tables are solid wood, they can be used as a stool or a table when needed. This versatility makes them a really useful addition to you home, not taking up too much space when not needed. As well as being used as a stool or a table the Surin Infinity Table looks great. having been hand carved from one solid piece of monkey pod wood, each table is slightly different.

Hallway

Create the right first impression in the first room they see looks great and is ready for all the extra shoes and clutter that extra visitors create. A storage seat is the perfect way to tidy shoes and clutter away and to provide a useful perch to tie your shoelaces. The Mallani Storage Seat is our original design and a customer favourite. With a natural cotton pad and four cubby holes for storing your shoes, it is perfect for a busy family home.
