It is nice to throw an awesome indoor party especially in this season when the outdoors are not so inviting. However, to make the party hassle-free, you have to ensure that your house is party-proof.
According to Apartment Therapy, you should put the fragile out of the danger zone. As a home owner, you will not enjoy your party if you are worrying about your stuff. It is not cool if you see someone being comfortable sitting on your antique rocking chair that is there just for display.
Large gathering comes with food and drinks to be consumed around the house. While it is not always appropriate, it will be safe if you will cover your stain-prone furniture. You don't want to see some red wine stain on your white cotton sofa.
Napkins or paper towels should be accessible anywhere. It serves as a first-aid in cleaning anything anywhere around your house during the party. You should also have spill cleaners for tougher situations.
However, you should not only worry about the things inside your house. You should also think about the neighbors that might get annoyed with the noise especially if you live in an apartment with thin walls.
As much as possible, furnish the room with sound-absorbent overstuffed furniture. Tapestries and rugs can be hung on the walls to absorb the noise. Weather-stripping foam tape can be used at the top and around the sides of your door frame to fill the gaps where noise can go through.
While these sound-proofing tips will not totally eliminate the noise, it will definitely reduce the noise into an acceptable level. You may also try to lower the volume of the sound system and tell your guests to avoid shouting and jumping. Be mindful of the time and remember that you have neighbors who are trying to rest during the night.
