Five IKEA Products To Help You Throw A Big Party In A Small Space

Are you waiting till Christmas arrives before you allow yourself to start celebrating? If so, well, don't!

You don't need a big event to warrant a celebration, simply deciding to throw an impromptu get together in your home is all the excuse you could possibly need. 

I mean, who really needs a reason to party?

However, if you're anything like us your apartment might be a little cramped for throwing a big shindig, so strategic rearrangements are in order.

That's where IKEA comes in, who've got tonnes of bits that will allow you to save space in your home and throw such a well organised party that it'll be the envy of your assembled friends.

These simple additions can convert your cluttered apartment into a spacious lounging area in no time at all...

BARSVIKEN — €100

Unsure of how many people are going to show up to your apartment? Then this folding table is just the thing you need.

If you require lots of space for the refreshments this drop leaf table can fold out to a length that could seat 10 people for dinner, but if you need more space for your guests to mingle the table can also fold in neatly and be placed out of the way.

IVAR — €53

Everyone's house is filled with clutter that takes up valuable space, as well as hurting the eyes, so put all that into one safe place during the party.

Before your guests arrive, gather all the little things on your counters or table tops that are just taking up space (or liable to break) and place them all in this convenient little cabinet.

FABRIKÖR — €150

Add a touch of class to proceedings by setting up a serving station for your guests.

This bar cabinet, complete with glass doors, is where guests will find all they need to whip up their own drinks for the night — saving you a lot of hosting work in the process.

TORKIS — €6

Chances are that your guests will have brought their own drinks with them, so you'll find yourself running out of room in your fridge rapidly.

And what kind of a host would you be if you let party goers beverages turn warm? Perish the thought!

That's why, using just the tiniest amount of imagination, this flexible laundry basket can be converted into a large ice bucket where guests can plant their drinks for the evening.

IKEA PS 2017 — €85

Celebrations are wont to move from room to room, so the music needs to be able to move with it.

While this side table with wheels can be used in a variety of ways — a coffee table, kitchen trolley or bedside table — in a party environment it's an ideal music station, where you can place some wireless speakers on top and follow the celebrations around the flat.

We took a trip out to IKEA recently to see what's on offer. And we had a bit of craic while we were there...
