What can you do if you love having guests over but your apartment is simply too small? So many people today live in studio apartments that barely have enough room for all their belongings, let alone other people. Here are our best tips for entertaining in a small apartment.

Clean

Cleaning and decluttering the space is the first thing you need to do. Move everything that just sits around without a purpose—that gym bag that’s always next to the front door, magazines, move plants that sit on the floor to the shelves. You’ll instantly get more space for people.

Prep Food in Advance

Whether you’re cooking for your friends or ordering food, do it before they arrive so you have time to put away the dishes/boxes and only take the minimum amount of space. It’s a good idea to have a self-serving corner where everyone can come and get what they want.

Fresh Air

Small space with a lot of people in it can quickly turn into a sweatbox. Prevent this by opening the windows or air conditioning, depending on what you have and the weather outside.
