Fitting in all those extra family and friends at Christmas can be squeeze for even the biggest of households. To help ensure you and your loved ones have all the space you need for a truly magical Christmas, we’ve compiled a list of some ways you can make the most of your home’s available space. 

Invest in a louvred roof garden structure

Did you know that if you invest in a garden structure from Broadview, you can add sliding glass panels, warming heaters and pretty LED lighting? These simple accessories make a big difference during the winter as together, they combine to create a versatile and cosy garden room that’s the perfect place to watch out for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas eve. 

Plan fun outdoor activities

Work up an appetite for your festive feast (and clear the house so you can focus on cooking it) by planning some fun activities that take the whole family outside in the garden. Wrap up warm and play a game of stuck in the mud, go on a candy cane hunt or compete in a Christmas treasure hunt. If you’re particularly lucky and have had snow, you can spend hours outside building snowmen, creating snow angels and battling it out with a snowball fight! 

Save space with quality air beds

If you’re having more people to stay than you have beds, invest in some good quality air beds (and an electric pump). Air beds are particularly perfect for little ones as they create a fun camping experience with none of the hassle and all of the benefits of being at home. They also don’t take up as much room as a proper bed frame and can be deflated, once your guests have left, and stored neatly in a cupboard ready for next year. 

Dine surrounded by the beauty of nature

For a truly fantastic festive experience that will wow your guests, why not eat your Christmas dinner surrounded by the beauty of nature? Don’t panic, we don’t mean sitting outside in the freezing air but in your stunning patio structure where integrated heaters keep you warm and glass panels protect you from the elements without interrupting the view. This also allows you to utilise your other dining space for any number of other activities, such as breakfast, a place to try out new gadgets or simply a quiet space to take a break from hosting.
