Decorating the home is an integral part of hosting friends/family/colleagues. As a good host it is nice to make guests feel invited and important hence attention to some sort of decoration does have an impact on the overall event atmosphere. Lighting, accessorising, laying the perfect table; all go into a great party entertaininment. So plan well and plan ahead. Here we give you some tips on party decoration ideas. 

Luxury Party

When hosting a luxury party, elegance and class is the key. Use of balanced toned down colours with contrasting vibrant hues for some added brightness is a good idea. Too much colour and focus on expensive items can seem to go over the top. Elegant lighting hanging from tress in the backyard, luxurious upholstery on sofas and chairs and center pieces as takeaway on tables and sides look classy and understated. 

Small Party

A small party gives you a chance to get yourself more involved in decoration as the area to be covered is smaller. You could either go all the way decorating to the hilt or do minimal work and focus mainly on food and drinks. If you own stunning crockery and cutlery sets, make them the center of attention by displaying them neatly on the table. Beautiful table settings are decoration by themselves and one need not bother too much about added frills for attention.

Scented candles can also serve as room refreshers making the space feel cosy.
