How to Host a Lively Spring Party with Liz Lovery

Too much clutter can kill the vibe! Make your outdoor space more inviting by stowing everyday essentials safely out of sight. Spring for a storage solution that tastefully complements your exterior environment while keeping all your entertaining essentials close at hand. Bigger is better—a larger deck box offers ample room for patio furniture cushions, lawn games, outdoor decor, and so much more!

Seek out a seating solution that won’t interrupt the flow of your outdoor area. A small bistro table or two offers guests a comfy and informal spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a refreshing drink. This is a great solution even for smaller spaces, as barstools are designed to slide comfortably under the high-top table, which will save you valuable floorspace!

Counterspace comes at a premium when you’re cooking food on the grill. Give your inner chef a little extra elbow room by adding a dedicated serving station to your space. This is the perfect area to chop greens or mix a tasty drink while you’re waiting on your BBQ to work its mouthwatering magic. Interior storage is a must, as it helps keep all your outdoor cooking accoutrements organized and at the ready. 

Don’t let your guests waste a moment wondering where to discard their paper plates and napkins after the meal. A simple trash hideaway looks a lot more elegant in your space than a strung-up bag or the bin you haul to the curb each week. Plus, it helps make cleanup a cinch!

Now we’re all set up and ready for our lively spring party! With just a little bit of prep work—and some stylish and functional outdoor storage solutions—you’ll have everything you need to host the outdoor event of the season!
