5 Kitchen Necessities For Holiday Hosting

 

Some of the best holiday moments take place over a long, decadent meal. And while it’s exciting to invite people into our home, it’s also comforting knowing that we’re ready for such an event.

Prep your kitchen with our five necessities that will make hosting that much easier.  

Custom-Built Wine Racks

Make offering a glass of vino a little more exceptional with a custom-built wine rack. Tailored to your kitchen or bar’s design style, a personalized wine rack allows you to curate your own little wine collection, making dinner pairings and holiday evenings extra warm and welcoming. 

Butler’s Pantry

Cooking holiday dinners just got easier with the addition of a butler’s pantry. Customized to your needs, with slide-out drawers or storage compartments, an easy-access pantry means you know exactly what you have on hand. Easily find your spices and ingredients when you need them, limit stress, and make cooking that much more enjoyable.  

Candles

Welcome your dinner guests with a warm ambiance and beautiful table decor. Dim the overhead lights and create an atmosphere for conversation with candles. We recommend sticking to unscented ones so that the tantalizing smells of your food take centre stage. 

Glass Cabinets

Showcase your fine dishware and beautiful cups in glass cabinets. Perfect as upper cabinets or in an accent part of your kitchen, glass cabinets allow you to keep your dish collection dust-free while also creating the airiness of what open shelving offers. Go for clear glass or select something etched or bubbled to add dimension. 

Serving Platters

Serve in style with large and beautiful serving platters. We love having the food displayed all over the dining table to make it easy for guests to load up on their favourite dishes, while also showcasing your hard work. We recommend choosing neutral coloured platters,  like these from Fable, that allow the colours of your courses to shine.
