Forget the local Happy Hour – informally fabulous kitchen gatherings are here to elevate a weeknight or add a twist to your weekend itinerary. The kitchen is no stranger to impromptu gatherings. It’s a space where the senses are ignited with flavours and scents that activate memories and inspire adventures. Not to be confused with the formal dining area, the kitchen is where things get real, where people are comfortable, and often where the best conversations happen.
Play off the energy of this effortless social space by bringing in pieces that encourage lingering within the kitchen. Comfortable kitchen island seating or a bistro style table can make your kitchen space the “it” destination of the home. Don’t have the space for seating? Bring the kitchen experience to another level by using a stylish bar cart filled with the small bites and sips that pair perfectly with friends and catch-ups.
A social kitchen is a space where hors d’oeuvres are the main event – and they’re celebrated with interesting small plates with dedicated utensils. It’s where eye-catching glassware and unique
coasters make a simple beverage feel curated,
and little details like playful cocktail napkins or adorned appetizer picks turn a night-in to an intentional experience. The kitchen is where life lives in the home, so give it the details and accessories that make its energy thrive.
