Toons Top Tips on Getting Ready For Guests

Posted on - 5th April 2021

With the roadmap to freedom being well underway and on track to reach its conclusion in June, you may already be thinking about welcoming guests. Whether you’re a hostess with the mostest looking to retain her pre-pandemic crown or a new first time buyer looking to finally have a housewarming party, we can help. Discover how to get ready for guests with Toons’ Top Tips.

Make More Room at the Inn

The likelihood is that after lockdown restrictions are completely lifted, people aren’t going to be looking for an early night. Therefore, you will want to pull out all the stops to ensure there are as few circumstances as possible that could cut your night short. One of the best ways to eliminate these potential threats is to make sure your guests have a place to stay. Granted, this may not be possible for those with more limited space. However, we have a few tips and tricks to make the most of the space that you do have.

When you’re purchasing a sofa for the spare room or even the living room, why not consider a sofa bed? By selecting a sofa bed, not only are you increasing the sleeping space available, but you’re doing so at no extra cost to your available space. Here at Toons Furnishers, we have a variety of sofa beds available to cater for every taste, and room size.

Gear Up Your Garden

If all goes to plan, the lockdown restrictions will be completely lifted just in time for Summer. If that is the case, does your garden feel ready to host the next BBQ or garden party? If the answer is no, we can help. By starting now, you’ll give your garden a great chance of being the hub of activity come the Summer.

One of the first things to consider is some garden furniture. If you’re going to invite guests over, you should have enough seating to allow them to relax and soak in the rays. Not only is it great for hosting, but you could also reap the benefits on your own by having your lunch in your own piece of nature or choosing to move your office outside if you work remotely. Here at Toons, we offer a wide range of high quality garden furniture to house and impress your guests. From our two person companion sets to our pergola and 6 chair table set, you’re sure to find the right furniture to transform your garden.

Accentuate with Art

Now that we’ve considered the logistical side to having guests, it’s time to look into blowing them away. This is where our range of finishing touches comes into play. Whilst you may have decorated your house beautifully, it can often feel like there is something missing to tie it altogether. These are what we call accents as they accentuate everything else with a similar colour scheme or design.

These can be anything as subtle as a new mirror or figurine and scale all the way up to a large piece of art. Here at Toons Furnishers we have tried to build up a large enough range that we can cater for every style of interior design. Therefore, whether you’re after a rustic piece of art such as our Dapper Fox or a contemporary feature like our Chrome Silver mirror, we’ve got you covered.

Freshen Your Room with Flooring

Flooring often doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves for the way it can transform a property. For example, if your carpet looks worn and tired, it can often make the room look the same. On the other hand, a new floor can reinvigorate it. Which type of flooring will depend on your preference but if you’re looking to wow your guests, investing in new flooring is a great way to start.

If you’re looking to improve the cosiness of your room and make it dreamy just to walk on, you can browse through our range of new carpets. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a lower maintenance neutral design, hard flooring would be worth looking into.
