So maybe you didn't make it to the party because of traffic, or perhaps you just didn’t feel like going out—either way, you’re missing out some fun in your life. If you want to turn things around, why not host a party at the comforts of your very own home? Clueless? These must-haves, ranging from furniture to kitchenware, are here to help you figure it all out. Be an extraordinary host and enjoy filling your home with friends, food, and fun.

1. Functional Bar Cart

Whether you’re hosting brunch or a dinner party, a rolling cart where you can put all the entertaining essentials is a smart investment. Choose a bar cart that you can easily fill up with glassware or hot or cold beverages. This versatile piece of furniture also allows your guests to serve themselves according to their fancy.

2. Set of Quality Wine Glasses

There are many options of exquisite wine glasses you can choose from. But if you’re practical, hand-me-down glassware sets will work just fine. Wine glasses can be used in many ways with just the right amount of creativity. Apart from wine, you can also use it to serve desserts, cocktails or appetizers.

3. Console or Buffet Table

If you don’t have extra help at home, the easiest way to serve food to guests is buffet style. Having a console buffet table gives your guests ample space in the dining table to enjoy their meals. Make sure to place your buffet table adjacent the dining area for easy access.

4. Bluetooth Speakers

This handy gadget is a life changer for home entertaining. With your phone, you can play music anywhere in your home. Prepare a long playlist ahead and choose songs that would complement your theme for the night or even the age group of your guests. Make sure to include songs with light melodies for eating time.

5. Candles and Votives

Make your interiors enticing and cozier when entertaining. Little details such as simple candles and votives are nice touches that will greatly improve the ambience of your home. Choose candles with a variety of height and scents and place them in different areas of your living and dining room.

6. Extra Seats

Stools or ottomans are nice options for extra seating. Always keep them handy so you’re set to go even with surprise guests. There are stylish stackable stools available in the market today that you can easily tuck away in a corner once party is over.

7. Wooden Board

Another versatile item in the kitchen that will go a long way in entertaining is a wooden serving board. You can use it to serve charcuterie, roast or grilled meats, breads and dips, and even fancy desserts. Choose a wooden board that is thick and has a smooth texture so it will be easy to clean and maintain.

8. Glass Drink Dispenser

Bottles of empty beverage containers can be an eyesore during a party. Complement your beautiful table setting with a chic glass drink dispenser. Have it set up in one area and let your guests fill themselves with their beverage of choice.

9. Soft Blankets and Plush Pillows

Let your guests mix and mingle at ease in a relaxing space. Add plush pillows in stiff seats such as plastic or wood chairs to make them more comfortable. You can also drape a soft blanket in your sofa for that cozy feel.

10. Bathroom Essentials

Help your guests freshen up in the middle of partying by equipping the bathroom with a few essentials. Fill a small basket with sample-sized items of soaps, mouthwash, floss, and toothpaste. You can even throw in some fresh hand towels or spare toothbrush.
