5 tips on how to throw a party in a small apartment

Holidays and parties inseparable. It's great to bring together all the friends and have some fun on the soul. But what if you live in Khrushchev? How to fit a few dozen people on 40 square meters? And even so, to have enough space to dance, everyone was comfortable and after the feast does not have to make repairs. Here are five rules to follow that you can arrange a great party, even in a small apartment.

1. Make a permutation

Than smaller things in the room, the more people there will be able to accommodate. Prepare the room for the party. Rendered in another room or on the balcony all superfluous: bookcases, footstools, coffee table, dresser with TV, and so on. Do not forget the carpets: on them will stumble, they may be dirty. Clear a space in the middle, move the furniture to the walls.

2. Keep an eye on the temperature regime

The more people, the less oxygen. Keep this in mind.

If the heating system allows, reduce battery. Ideal when there is air conditioning: you can set a comfortable temperature and reduce it if you suddenly become hot. No air conditioning? Properly ventilate the room before the guests arrive and leave the window in mikroprovetrivaniya mode. cooking

3. Allocate space for the things your guests

Hanger in the hall is designed for five jackets, and guests will be twice as much? You do not know where to get a score of slippers? You do not want to stumble on all handbags? Then think about the placement of outdoor clothing, shoes and other things invited in advance.

Jackets and bags easier not to hang and fold. For example, on the bed in the bedroom. If the apartment is no carpet and you have removed all the fleecy flooring, offer guests wipe boots at the entrance and stay in street shoes. The floor can be washed, but placed in the hallway a few dozen pairs of shoes - the problem.

4. Try to use smaller dishes

Normally, we prepare a bowl of salad and decompose meal on plates. Think about how many dishes and then have to wash, and discard the traditional approach.

do portioned snacksThat can be eaten without a plate on a napkin: canapes, tarts, sandwiches. Hot dishes and drinks you can use disposable dishes.

Make sure to sink and (or) the dishwasher was empty. Empty containers soiled need somewhere to fold.

5. Cocktail vs feast

We are used to gather around the table. It is fine when it comes to a family dinner or a holiday in a narrow range. But for a noisy party of 10 or more people is not the best solution.

Firstly, you need a large table, so that everyone had enough "seats." And if you put a table in the middle of the room, there will be no place for dancing and games. Secondly, in this case it does not work rule number 4.

Buffet - this is what you need for a party. It is not necessary to put all the treats and drinks at one table. Otherwise, there will be a pandemonium - awkward and ugly. It is better to make a few areas with food and drink: on the windowsill place cocktailsOn the table in the corner - a snack, and on the shelf - fruit.

As you can see, you can make a great feast, even in a modest odnushke. If you think everything in advance.
