What to do this summer during the construction holidays in Quebec
The holidays are synonymous with togetherness, sharing, and precious moments spent with loved ones. If you live in a condo, like those of the project Les Loges, you know that an optimized space doesn’t mean compromising on elegance or comfort. With the right tips, you can transform your interior into a welcoming and memorable place for your holiday gatherings.
1. Rethink Your Space for the Occasion
- Rearrange the Furniture: Create an open space by moving furniture around to facilitate circulation. For instance, a sofa can be pushed against a wall to expand the main area.
- Invest in Multifunctional Furniture: An ottoman with built-in storage or a folding table can be a lifesaver.
- Maximize Unused Corners: Turn a corner of your living room into a drinks station or a snack area with small treats.
2. Decorate with Intention
- Opt for Light Decorations: String lights and hanging ornaments bring a festive atmosphere without cluttering the space.
- Play with Heights: Use shelves, window sills, or even hanging decor to free up floor space.
- Choose a Subtle Theme: A well-chosen color palette (e.g., white and gold or red and green) can create a chic and harmonious effect without overwhelming the space.
3. Simplify the Menu for More Enjoyment
- Choose Easy-to-Serve Dishes: Buffets or interactive food stations (like a taco or hot chocolate bar) are perfect for minimizing back-and-forth trips.
- Go for Elegant Bites: Prepare refined yet simple appetizers, like verrines or festive skewers.
- Consider Pre-Made Options: Order some dishes or desserts from local businesses to save time and support the neighborhood stores.
4. Create a Warm and Immersive Atmosphere
- Make Music Central to the Experience: Create a festive playlist that evolves throughout the evening, from soft melodies to dance-worthy beats.
- Soften the Lighting: Use accent lamps, LED candles, or string lights for a cozy and welcoming ambiance.
- Plan Interactive Moments: Quick board games or simple activities like decorating cookies can bring everyone together.
5. Offer a Unique Experience to Your Guests
- Prepare Guest Favors: Small bags filled with local treats or a personalized card will surely delight your guests.
- Highlight the View or Terrace: If your condo offers a great view or terrace, make use of it. Serve an aperitif on the balcony or set up a table there, even in chilly weather.
- Personalize the Space: Display memory photos or small items that reflect your guests for a warm and authentic touch.
6. Make Your Kitchen and Bathroom Shine
- In the Kitchen: Clear the countertops to make room for dishes and drinks. A central island can become an elegant service station.
- In the Bathroom: Ensure your guests have clean towels, quality soap, and perhaps a festive touch like a scented candle.
Get inspired and, most importantly, enjoy sharing these precious moments with your loved ones. Happy Holidays! 🎄
