Clean It Up
"De-clutter and move anything you can out of your entertaining space so that your guests have enough room to talk and eat. For coats and shoes, think about where you will keep them in advance so you don’t end up with a pile by the door.
If you are really tight on space, you can buy or rent a simple rack and place it outside your door to keep your guests’ belongings organized and out of the way."
