Prepare Your Home for the Coronation

Posted on: Tuesday, May 2, 2023

The Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms is scheduled to captivate the nation at Westminster Abbey on the 6th of May. But the fun won’t be confined to the capital as many Brits will gather to commemorate this historic occasion with street parties, barbeques, and family gatherings galore as we reflect on the monarch’s role today and look towards a bright future.

If you plan on celebrating this super special bank holiday weekend at home, here are a few easy decorating tips to get the place looking extra regal…

 

Create a grand entrance

Parties are all about excitement, so make sure your home evokes a sense of awe and anticipation the moment your guests walk through the door. Spruce up your hallway and staircase using everything from funny props and masks to vases of flowers or a beautiful gallery display along the walls. 

 

Homemade bunting

Skip the shop-bought plastic banners this year and get crafty

Skip the shop-bought plastic banners this year and get crafty with some showstopping handmade décor for your walls, fences, and pergola. All you need is a ball of string and some coloured card to cut into triangles. Choose royal colours such as gold, purple and red - or if you’re feeling extra patriotic this month, have a shot at painting the Union Jack!

 

Best of Britain

Today is all about the UK! Britain has a rich heritage of iconic foods, music, television, and more; so, cover your house in print-outs, posters, and memorabilia – or you could even have your most classic British books and DVD’s out on display. This will feel like a warm, nostalgic hug for your guests and it’s always great to look back on the years with fondness and laughter, especially during events like this one.

 

Dress the table

Every party needs a theme, and your dining room table is the best spot in your home to get creative

Every party needs a theme, and your dining room table is the best spot in your home to get creative! There are plenty of coronation-themed options for tableware, plates, cups, and cake stands to style up your dining space and wow your guests. Create a centrepiece with colourful flowers or even a plastic crown from your local costume shop, lay down a tablecloth, and start embellishing with all of your baked treats, snacks, and finger foods – which will also look great with some Union Jack sandwich flags. Make your table scatter using red, white, and blue card and a hole punch for a perfect finishing touch. 

 

Set up a photo booth

All too often, the party is over before you know it and there aren’t nearly enough photographs to capture just how special the day was. Hosting leaves little time to stop and take pictures, so encourage your guests to take their own with a fun make-shift photo booth. Simply set up a side table with some disposable cameras, a box of party hats or wigs, funny glasses, and whiteboards to write messages on; you’ll have no shortage of memories to print out and frame.

I would highly recommend Hardings Estate Agents. They have excellent knowledge of Windsor and the surrounding areas, and are extremely professional, responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to using them again the future. I recently dealt with Milica who was instrumental in securing us our new home in Windsor as well as the sale of our existing property. She was a fab negotiator and a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!

Jonathon Beresford

Hardings of Windsor managed our purchase with complete professionalism and went over and above in my opinion to manage the transaction and chain, resulting in a really smooth purchase. Milica at Hardings constantly provided timely updates and managed respective solicitors and the chain effectively, always responding quickly to queries. The whole transaction would not have happened without Milicas' focus on making all parties comfortable and satisfying all queries, not only professional but a delightful and welcoming personal approach that was a constant throughout. Thanks Hardings! Thanks Milica!

I would recommend using Hardings estate agents when buying or selling your property. Dominic (Scully) was always available, helpful and genuinely interested in my purchase and always calm and compassionate. If I ever move again my first choice will be Hardings.

Dom and the team at Hardings were so helpful and efficient when I purchased my flat - friendly and professional service and kept us up-to-date the whole way through the process. It was my first time buying and so was very nervous but they helped me feel at ease.

We recently purchased our new home with Hardings Estate Agents. The whole team there were very helpful and flexible with us, arranging viewings quickly on the same day. They were always quick to respond and if ever our point of contact was not there, the service did not change as they work well together as a team. We received a personalised service, which allowed the sale to proceed quickly. Thank you all and we recommend Hardings Estate Agents without hesitation.

What a pleasure it was to deal with Milica from Hardings. She sourced the perfect property for me and my family (while we were still abroad) and worked endlessly to put the deal together. I would give more than 5 stars if at all possible!
