Easter holiday entertaining made easyApril 2019: The upcoming long weekend is a perfect opportunity for entertaining friends and

family. To ensure you’re the host with the most, follow a few easy tips from Alon Sachs, co-

founder of Mobelli Furniture + Living, on hosting friends and family over the Easter weekend.

Make a meal of itWhat is quality time with your family, without a meal? Make sure there’s place for everyone

with an extendable table.

“This is the ideal solution for entertaining: Leave it closed when it is only asmall family dinner and fully extend it when you are expecting plenty ofguests.” — Alon Sachs, co-founder of Mobelli Furniture + Living

Comfortable dining chairs are a must – you’ll want to linger over your meal. For impromptu

guests, consider extra seating options such as stackable chairs or a bench.

Stick to the themePastel décor colours are well suited for Easter decorations and are an easy way to update your

home ahead of the holidays. Scatter cushions in light shades of blue, pink, green, yellow and

purple will give your indoor space a fresh new look.

While you’re at it, give your table a quick update with the latest in décor: colourful vases; trays,

which always come in handy when entertaining; or bowls with unique and colourful designs

It’s playtime

Keep the kids entertained with a range of fun activities, such as painting eggs, in their own

special space. Use sectional seating options to transform your living room or outdoor areas, by

moving the pieces to make a corner for the children’s arts and crafts, or indoor games. When

they’re done playing, the seating can easily be rearranged for afternoon cocktails or after-dinner

drinks.

Drink up!A drinks trolley will become your favourite entertaining tool over the long weekend. Easy to

move around and great for small spaces, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. A drinks

trolley is not only a stylish way to serve drinks; it can also double as a snack bar or shelving unit.

Sachs suggests looking for the following when selecting a drinks trolley:

Choose one that will fit in your space and can be moved without bumping into other furniture

pieces.

Go for a drinks trolley that will suit your home’s overall style. “A drinks trolley with sleek and

simple lines is always a good option. It looks good on its own but also won’t clash with your

existing décor and furniture,” Sachs says.

Try moving the trolley in store to ensure your drinks trolley is easily movable and has a

sturdy base.

Sleep easyHaving enough room when guests come to stay can prove challenging, but Sachs suggests

investing in a sleeper couch to increase your bed space. Today’s sleeper couches come in a range

of shapes and sizes, perfect for any and every home.
