AGING GUESTS
Tuck in a few extra seats (CHAIRS). Be prepared for extra guests by sneaking a few extra seats (CHAIRS). into your arrangement. There’s no need to spend a lot on these pieces — look for little stacking stools and small ottomans at budget-friendly stores and scoop up one-off chairs at flea markets and yard sales. Here are a few ideas: ◦Place a pair of X-benches in front of the fireplace. ◦Tuck a pair of stools beneath a console table. ◦Place an occasional chair or a low bench against a blank wall. ◦Swap out your regular coffee table for a comfy ottoman that can double as a seat.
A coffee table alternative. Why go with just a coffee table when a trio of petite, sculptural stools is so much more functional? Use them clustered together between parties, then divvy them up when guests arrive to be used as extra side tables and seats. A cushy, upholstered ottoman will also work splendidly and will provide more space for spreading out or putting feet on — perfect if you prefer a larger coffee table.
