A HOME FOR HOSTING

A First Floor Ready for Entertaining

Our homeowner loves to host a good party and was eager to invite friends and family into her new home. As a busy professional, it was important to her that she could trust Haven Made to create a design plan that would meet her goals and bring that vision to life. At the top of her list was a space that would reflect her bold style and fun personality. From a layout standpoint, we knew we’d need to address the home’s unique footprint— including a long living room that was open to a front sunroom area. We divided up the long living area into two unique zones. At one end, a deep sofa and comfy chairs serve as a spot for watching TV day-to-day as well as facilitate conversions and gathering with guests. Nearby, two comfy chairs with plush ottomans are the perfect place to curl up with a good book and provide additional seating when company is over. The bold blue bookcases were carefully curated to not only provide practical storage, but to make a bold statement when you enter the home.


In the dining room, there is plenty of room for friends to gather around the table with a good drink (Hello gorgeous buffet and bar!). Above the buffet server, a gallery wall showcases a collection of colorful art.  Opposite, a pair of faux leather chairs in the window nook provide the perfect spot to have a cup of coffee in the morning with your SO or unwind with a  glass of wine at the end of the day. From the impactful rug, to the mid-century chandelier, to the stunning dining chairs, our homeowner was thrilled with the final look. (And, we’re pretty confident her friends are enjoying the space too!)
