Designing the perfect home for entertaining

There’s nothing better than a good time spent with great friends. That’s why an increasing number of people are choosing to entertain guests at home, swapping busy restaurants and all-day trips for a more relaxed time together in your own space.

With this in mind, Brookworth Homes designs every luxury property with entertaining in mind. Thanks to our leading architects and designers, our luxurious, versatile spaces are built to enable every kind of get-together, from informal dinners to barbecues and garden parties.

Read on to discover some of the ways we plan our home layouts so that they are ready for hosting your guests as soon as you move in.

Open-plan living: the heart of entertaining

An open plan ethos is at the centre of Brookworth Homes’ design sensibility and crucial to creating spaces that are ideal for entertaining. But not all open-plan spaces are the same and it takes expert design and careful consideration to do open-plan effectively.

Our designers create fluid spaces where guests can move seamlessly between your kitchen, dining and living areas. This creates a wider sense of space, but also more opportunities for small pockets of people to gather as part of larger get-togethers.

Another key consideration is how open-plan spaces can be adapted to suit a variety of different purposes. Building the ideal space for large groups of people might lead to a home that doesn’t work as well for everything else in your life, from working at home to cooking dinner. Our experts consider all the different ways you live in your home – and the different ways you’ll entertain – to create the perfect balance.

Finally, Brookworth Homes take that same open-plan ethos to your outdoor space. Large bi-fold doors and patio extensions both mean you can open up your home to nature and create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors.

Distinct spaces, designed for hosting

Our open-plan design unifies your home, creating a sense of space and openness for your gatherings. But within this design you’ll find distinct spaces with their own features and flourishes to make luxury entertaining easier.

The ultimate kitchen for entertaining

Kitchens are almost always a centrepiece for entertaining, but few of us want to spend our time hidden away in the kitchen while our guests enjoy themselves. Brookworth kitchens are designed to be stunning spaces you can enjoy alongside your guests, with a layout crafted to encourage interaction and large central islands or peninsulas to act as a gathering point.

Our kitchens include smart storage solutions to remove unnecessary clutter, striking the balance between having enough room to work and maintaining an elegant aesthetic, even while you’re preparing meals. Similarly, our choice of luxury materials, smart lighting, and seamlessly integrated high-end appliances give your kitchen a real sense of style.

Well-appointed dining areas where style meets function

Aesthetics have a direct impact on the experience of a meal. There’s a reason that the right ambience is such a vital part of the finest restaurants, for example. That’s why Brookworth Homes includes dining areas designed to set the right mood, with elegant lighting, and spacious areas perfect for entertaining.  

Equally, Brookworth’s dining areas blend this elegance with a focus on usability and functionality. One example is our integrated in-ceiling speakers, giving you high-quality sound throughout your kitchen and dining areas. This is another effective way to set the mood and create a more immersive entertainment experience without disrupting the clean, elegant design of your home. 

Luxurious living rooms to enjoy together

From long conversations to sharing your favourite box set, living rooms are another important space for entertaining and socialising. Here, Brookworth’s interior designers optimise your space to encourage conversation and relaxation, while also removing distractions.

Our luxurious living rooms are all styled in neutral, elegant tones and equipped with underfloor heating to keep you and your guests comfortable. They also include built-in smart technology to help you adapt your living space to the moment, whether you’re closing the blinds as the evening draws in, dimming the lights, or changing your entertainment settings.
