Cosy kitchens perfect for winter entertaining

Everyone knows that winter is the indoor party season and this week we take you through some ideas for the cosiest kitchens perfect for winter entertaining.

Winter is the indoor party season and whilst everyone knows that the conventional area for warm winter gatherings is usually the living room or dining room, the kitchen is where guests eagerly assemble throughout the night - as it is truly the heart of the home.
 
Whether you are looking to host the perfect dinner party or simply gather your friends for some fine wine, we present our top tips, latest trends and kitchen set ups to ensure your guests feel welcomed.
 
Prominent central feature
 
What better way to make your guests feel at ease than a central spot where conversation is adored, food is relished and drinks are enjoyed?
 
This perfect spot can be located in your very kitchen on an Island, dining table or breakfast bar, which can be filled with delicious nibbles and delightful drinks. Having one spot where guests can come back to for all their entertainment needs ensures an accommodating, cosy and intimate set up for any gathering.
 
Warm Touches
 
Some kitchens can feel a little cold throughout the winter months: hard counter surfaces and white walls don't do much for making a kitchen feel cosy. Introducing a little summertime wanderlust through simple accessories can make all the difference. From candles with character, warm fluffy rugs, and extra lighting to cultured statues from warmer climates, it all comes together to create that cosy warm feel for entertaining guests.
 
Alternative Surfaces
 
Traditional kitchens usually consist of cool tile flooring and icy marble surfaces, which enhance the chill of the crisp winter months. For a touch of warmth in the kitchen environment, swap marble surfaces to warm oak for a country cottage-like feel.
 
Follow these tips to make your home truly a sublime place for winter entertaining, and ensure yours is the one your friends flock to when they want a little slice of warm cosiness in the middle of all the winter cold.
