Square End Tables - Perfect for Spring and Summer Soirees

If you make a habit of entertaining, your square end tables may soon be a major part of the entertaining environment in your home.
With spring and summer, many people opt to invite friends and family over.
This is a time when it's fun to open the house up and possibly run a party that is both indoors and out, appreciating that the cold temperatures of winter have gone.
In order to take care of a large number of people in your home, you are going to need a lot of table space.
While you could think about renting out tables and such for this event, another option is to utilize items you already have in your home, like square end tables.
If you are like many families, there are square end tables in rooms throughout your house.
Square end tables are some of the most common and popular of all end tables on the market.
Now it's time to teach them how to do another job, other than sitting at the end of your sofa.
Bring all the square end tables you can find out into the common area of your home.
These are going to be your new drink and appetizer tables.
If you are looking at all those square ends tables and thinking that they don't match, and therefore won't look right all being spread around your living room and patio, you're right.
They don't look right like they are now.
This is why you are going to change their appearance.
Space the tables out where they will be the most useful for your guests.
If you have a number of seating areas spread out around the house, make sure the square end tables are accessible to those who take a seat and would like somewhere to set their drink.
Now you need to make them match.
Purchase tablecloths that will cover up the square end tables and make them all look like they were meant to be a part of the party.
If you have a spring theme, you may want to choose tablecloths in a couple of the current spring colors to make the small tables brighten up the space even more.
Next, you need to make sure those table cloths stay on the square end tables.
If you are holding a spring/summer party like many do, you will have doors open to the outside.
That means there is a risk for gusts of wind to breeze through the house.
While this may feel great on the skin, this is not so healthy for those square end tables with little tablecloths.
The tablecloths may well try to fly away, unless you have a way to weight them down.
The easiest way to do this is to create a series of centerpieces that suit the theme.
All your guests will think you created them to look beautiful.
Meanwhile, you can know that by creating them, you have saved yourself a lot of heartache and clean up.
