5 Home Essentials to Elevate Your New Year’s Party

POV: You want to start the year with a bang but the idea of being squeezed between elbows and bodies sounds like a nightmare coming to life. So you plan your own New Year’s party instead. There will be no red solo cups, strobe lights, or loud EDM music. It is going to be a fun yet elegant affair. That said, hosting such events takes more than just a charcuterie board and Laufey playing on your HomePod mini. So use this list of home essentials as a jumping-off point to get you started.

BOLLE ORIZZONTALE HANGING LAMP BY GALLOTTI & RADICE

First thing’s first: set the tone of your party. Getting the right light fixture is key and the Bolle Orizzontale hanging lamp by Gallotti & Radice is a fail-proof solution to creating an elegant ambience. With its dimmable LED illumination, you can fine-tune the mood of the evening with a simple touch of a button. Plus, its stunning design, anchored by the transparent blown glass spheres and the hand-burnished brass metal parts, makes a great conversation starter.
