Throwing a New Years Eve party is more than just passing out noisemakers and party hats. Prepping your space properly is the key to a fabulous soiree!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve said goodbye to Christmas, it\u2019s onto the next holiday: New Years!<\/p>\n

While stocking up on delicious hors d’oeuvres and the finest champagne is crucial to your soiree\u2019s success, prepping your space is just as important.<\/p>\n

Take these organizational tips into consideration before the big night.<\/p>\n

New Years Prep Tip #1: Plan Ahead For Plenty Of Seating<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When planning a party most people underestimate the amount of seating required. A good rule of thumb is to take your confirmed guest list and add ten.<\/p>\n

On a night like New Years it\u2019s expected that most guests will show up with a date or a friend (or three) so planning ahead for extra seating never hurts.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go out and rent a slew of folding chairs (after all, people do a lot of mingling) but do take note of your existing furniture and use it wisely.<\/p>\n

Multifunctional pieces are a must. The Rinca Accent Table in Natural Teak<\/a> is great for parties because you can use it to set down a glass of wine or take a seat to engage in light conversation.<\/p>\n

\"Multifunctional<\/a>

Multifunctional pieces work perfectly in a chic party setting.<\/p><\/div>\n

The table itself is relatively small, so buying three or four is a great investment in the long run for holidays, family get togethers and dinner parties.<\/p>\n

New Years Prep Tip #2: Allow For Easy Traffic Flow<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have you ever noticed how cluttered your space gets during the holidays? To your left: Tissue paper, gift bags and bows you\u2019ve yet to store away. To your right: Boxes of half eaten chocolates and gift sets of lotion you\u2019ll probably never use.<\/p>\n

If any of this sounds familiar, it may be a good time to declutter and make room for your New Years party favors.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all about stylish storage; so if your drawers and cabinets are already full, consider a new accent piece like Monaco Storage Ottoman in Tobacco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only does it make a beautiful statement in your living room, it\u2019s an easy way to store extras you simply don\u2019t have room for (plus a late Christmas gift to yourself never hurt!)<\/p>\n

\"Storage<\/a>

Storage doesn’t need to stand out. Go clutter free with a gorgeous storage bench.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>New Years Prep Tip #3: Say No To Coats On The Bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Coats on the bed are a major party faux pas.<\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s New Years, so there\u2019s a chance it could snow. Would you<\/em> want your coat piled onto a bed in a heap of other wet coats? <\/em>Probably not.<\/em><\/p>\n

Second, spending twenty minutes shuffling through the coat pile after a party isn\u2019t how your guests want to end their night, especially after a few glasses of champagne.<\/p>\n

Keep your soiree classy by hanging coats properly in the closet where they belong.<\/p>\n

Once the closet fills up, we recommend moving to the remaining few coats to the coat rack.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a stylish coat rack to match your modern d\u00e9cor, the Orin Coat Rack in Chrome<\/a> is a beautiful choice with a clean structure that hold several coats; a sleek option that easily beats the dreaded coat pile!<\/p>\n

\"Going<\/a>

Going into 2015, coat racks are seriously stylish.<\/p><\/div>\n
