Game Day Essentials: The Furniture You Need For an Unforgettable Super Bowl Party
You’ve waited all year for this: the biggest game of the season. Besides the obvious (a beer-stocked fridge, lots of munchies and all your friends), there are some other elements that make a Super Bowl party truly memorable.
Super Seating
Ample, comfortable seating for all your family and friends is imperative. By adding recliners, club chairs and barstools to your existing seating, you can ensure everyone gets a great view of the game. Have sturdy ottomans on-hand to accommodate any extra attendees (unexpected plus-one’s or your buddy who never RSVPs…you know who he is) and to store your guests’ belongings or snack refills.
Arranging furniture in a U-shape around the TV whenever possible will makes sure everyone can socialize with one another without missing any plays. Make sure anything breakable is removed from an arm’s-length radius; all it takes is an emphatic “WHAT?!” hand gesture in response to a bad call or an unexpected injury to send vases and picture frames flying.
As for fabric choices, both genuine leather and Microsuede make inevitable spills a breeze to clean up. Just remember to dab up liquid, not rub. (Reading this in a panic after Bob spilled Pepsi on the loveseat? See the Leather Care Guide for more emergency help.)
Entertainment Centers
The focal point of the entire day is your TV, which means your friends are also staring at your entertainment center. A tired, outdated TV console simply won’t work. Here are some modern, sturdy options that will display that impressive flat screen in style:
Now you have food, friends, furniture and a sexy TV console for your plasma and all its components.
The only question left is, which mask will you be wearing???
