Whether you're planning a small family meal, a fancy dinner party for friends or hosting a garden gathering, we've got lots of party ideas for you to try.
Give your dining room a makeover
Dining room revamp
Been putting off updating your dining space? Now is the perfect time to do it. Prep your home for fun-filled moments with our selection of stylish tables, chairs and dining sets.
Get ready to host and toast
Tableware
Keep your tablescape game top-notch. Our latest trends cover everything from neat nibble bowls to pretty serving platters.
Cookware
Let's be honest, food is a key ingredient of any party. Make cooking a pleasure with cookware that combines form and function. You won't want to hide these bits away in the cupboard, that's for sure.
Glassware
Choose elegant champagne flutes for a fancy gathering or perhaps some cocktail glasses for a cheeky G&T. Cheers!
Pitcher perfect bars
Drinks trolley
A trolley for your tipples, how very retro! These have made a big come back recently and we hope they’re here to stay.
Sideboards & display cabinets
Dedicate a space for fancy glassware and boozy beverages. Keep ‘the good stuff’ and decorative bottles on display and tuck other less pretty stuff - like napkins and board games – out of sight.
Outdoor bar
On the rare occasion the British weather behaves, set up your own beer garden, create a courtyard cocktail bar, or transform your patio into a gin parlour. Cheers to that great idea!
Add the finishing touches
Add a floral flourish
Instantly brighten up any tablescape with a bunch of blooms. Whether sculptural or wild and free, you're sure to find a bouquet to suit your style.
Savour the scent
Warm ambient glow and a soothing aroma? Check and check. Candles are a great way to set the mood. What's more? Ours look just as pretty unlit too.
Bring the outdoors in
Whether a chunky ceramic pot or a tiny succulent, indoor plants are a great way to keep your space feeling fresh and lively.
Keep it bright and brilliant
Light up and liven up. Create some drama with a statement lamp or keep it mellow with mood lighting.
All snug and stylish
Nothing says "come on in" like a house filled with cosy cushions and so-soft rugs.
Weather looking nice? Take it outside
Your summer set-up, sorted
Get ready to savour the sunshine with some fresh furniture. A garden furniture set will create a cosy nook for your gatherings, while a garden table makes the perfect set-up for a sunny brunch.
Want some extra seating? Garden chairs and loungers are a great choice. Simply pop some cushions for comfort and you are all set to host. And oh, don't forget to perk it up with some outdoor lights and lanterns.

Guests staying over?
Sleepover club
Give guests something to write home about with a spare room that wows. Short on space? No problem. Our sofa beds combine form and function.
Wash, dry and get going
Jumping out of bed straight into a shower isn't so bad when you have fluffy towels waiting for you. So make your guests feel at home with fresh new towels.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Is there anything better than that first cup of tea or coffee in the morning? We think not. Throw in a stylish mug and it tastes even better, trust us.
Breakfast is served
Spoil your guests with the five-star treatment by whipping up a delicious breakfast. Although with treatment this good, you might struggle to get them to leave!
Our top party tips
Our tried and tested party tips:
- Too much food and drink is always better than too little so always go slightly over what you think you might need. You can always have it for leftovers the next day!
- Create a few different playlists to suit the varying vibes of the day. You might want a chilled playlist for daytime socialising, followed by some floorfillers come evening.
- Have some soft drinks to hand for kids and non-drinkers.
- Be sure to check for any food allergies and dietary requirements prior to a dinner party.
- Prep as much as you can before your guests arrive so you can properly relax and enjoy yourself.
- Set up a play area to keep the little ones entertained so you are free to socialise.
