24 Simple Swaps to Make Your Place Hosting-Ready for Spring
After a winter of hiding under blankets and hanging out exclusively with our pets, spring gives us the energy to socialize again. Now, to send the memo to our homes. Waking up your space’s style from hibernation can mean making a couple of new decorative touches or a few bigger upgrades: Any of them will get you excited to embrace the warmer days with friends and festivities.
Whether you’re thinking sunset happy hours or farmer’s market–fresh dinner parties, Walmart helps you host your favorite folks at a moment’s notice. With on-trend styles that capture all the spirit of springtime — and affordable prices that can’t be beat — you can find everything from dinnerware to outdoor furniture. Here are some of our favorite picks to jump-start hosting season.
Simple Swaps #1: Living Room
Book club? Yes please. Game night? Deal ’em! A spacious and stylish coffee table has room for everyone to gather around, and contemporary armchairs add sleek extra seating. Now for the finishing touches: Placing an oversized candle on a gilded mirror tray reflects the glow and amps up the ambiance.
Simple Swaps #2: Outdoor Space
It’s time to sweep the patio and start enjoying the sunshine! This all-weather wicker sectional dining set is great for dining and lounging. Throw pillows in a vernal green stripe make it extra comfy. A handsome acacia serving cart can be used as a cocktail bar, coffee corner, or snack station. And when the sun goes down, woven candle holders help illuminate the scene.
Simple Swaps #3: Dining Room
The first vegetables of the season are worth celebrating. Show them off on sweet scalloped dinnerware in spring’s favorite shade, with complementary drinking glasses for toasting. Salads shine in a rustic acacia serving bowl, and cloth napkins are a simple, sophisticated swap for disposable ones.
