It’s almost Labor Day and we are all sorry to see the summer we spent indoors go. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t still time to get outdoors and plan the most luxurious party of the season.
In a time of social distancing, we are all searching for ways to stay connected to those we care about and celebrate life’s little moments while staying safe. An at-home soirée is the perfect way to close out the summer while staying secure in your own residence, even if it’s just a soirée for the family. But planning at-home parties can sometimes be stressful when it comes to ensuring that the decor looks upscale, refined, and enviable. Here are our top tips for bringing luxury to your poolside escape.
Have a clean space. I know, we get it. We’re all busy and tired of being indoors, and sometimes cleaning sounds like a daunting task when you just want to relax, but when it comes to hosting a soirée (even just for the family), a clean and clear space is essential. A clean and organized home always looks more refined than one that is cluttered. If you need to hide that sun beaten umbrella in the pool closet, we won’t tell.
Add greenery. Lush landscaping can add deep greens and vibrant hues to your poolside patio. For a modern luxury look, stick to leafy green plants. Dark, emerald green plants will bathe your patio in a luxurious hue, while the liveliness of nature creates an inviting space.
Utilize textures and contrast. Creating balance is one of the most important factors when it comes to decor. Well paired textures and creating contrasts draws interest to your space. Small additions of unexpected textures – like our cut glass candles – adds a unique statement to your soirée decor, not to mention an exquisite fragrance and relaxing aura.
Add color with refreshments. Adding vibrancy through the refreshments allows you to keep a clean and modern space, but still have plenty of color at your soirée. A sangria with fresh fruit or a spread with homemade guacamole adds a freshness to your table. For extra style points, coordinate your glassware with your decor. This becomes simple when you reuse the vessel of your Luxuoire candles as the stunning barware that they are.
