Gather. Entertain. Impress. With a little help from Häfele.

Build holiday host-ready homes with these clever, space-saving functional storage solutions.

Samantha Moore, Assistant Marketing Communications Manager at Häfele America Co.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, New Year’s Eve and more … the end of the year means it’s time to get your home ready for holiday entertaining once again. If you’re planning to make some upgrades before the end of the year, we’ve got some ideas that’ll ensure your home is the place where friends and family will love to gather – for years and years to come.

 

Walk in → hang up → hang out.

Give guests a warm welcome into your home and a smooth departure at the end of the party with the stylishly functional Symphony Organizer. Whether you have it hanging right in the entryway or tucked discreetly behind the front door, this elegant wall organizer provides ample storage space for your guest’s coats, keys, handbags and even shoes – all with a sleek frame that extends less than 5” from the wall.

 

 

Be the host with the most (power).

Keep your outlets close … and allow your guests to keep their devices closer. With Docking Drawer in-drawer outlets from Häfele, any drawer can become a charging station. In the living room, turn the side table into the tablet charging post. In the kitchen, turn the junk drawer into the convenient cell phone powering hub. Whatever your charging need, we’ve got you covered. Our Docking Drawer Blade and Blade Duo in-drawer outlets offer a variety of receptacle choices – including AC, USB-A and USB-C – and can charge devices up to 70% faster than standard 12W USB charging ports.

 

 

Open up. Wine down. Party on.

Every holiday host needs their own cabernet cabinet … right? Build a perfectly convenient wine bottle pull-out right there in the kitchen (so the party never stops) with our Parallel Rods and Parallel Rod Brackets. Available in silver, black and gold finishes, our Parallel Rods store and display wine bottles in a neat, horizontal position so the label can be viewed from the front. These trimmable aluminum rods are offered in three sizes to accommodate any cabinet width, depth or bottle type. Parallel Rod Brackets easily screw attach to the rods and can be used in a fixed position or with slides to create a pull-out shelf.

 

 

Utensils, serving bowls, dinner napkins … on the move.

Have your dinner party drawer organized and easily accessible with Häfele’s elegant and customizable Fineline Move Drawer Organization System. This line of stylish, wooden drawer inserts allows you to configure your own personal drawer storage which can be rearranged or removed at any time for easy portability. The narrow Cutlery Boxes are perfect for flatware while the larger Cutlery Boxes can be used for serving utensils or small plates and bowls. Storage Boxes feature built-in handles and offer more depth for efficiently organizing deep kitchen drawers.

 

 

Set the table – without even setting foot in the kitchen.

If you’re someone who stores their flatware and plates in a drawer, you may be wondering how that’s even possible. But with the Riverso Two-Way Drawer Slide from Häfele, drawers are no longer stuck moving in just one direction. This dynamic functional hardware system allows you to put something in a drawer from one side and retrieve it from the other. It’s ideal for kitchen and closet islands, as well as commercial applications where efficiency is key. Now even those standing outside of the work zone can have access to anything stored on either side of the kitchen island.

 

 

Gather ‘round the … drawer?

Now for your last (and perhaps best) magic trick of the party … pulling a full-size table out of a space the size of a drawer. With our Pull-Out Table Fitting with Folding Leg hardware, you’ll always have room for a massive in-kitchen food display, unexpected party guests, an impromptu game night or whatever else your family and friends throw at you. Available in various widths and offering a load-bearing capacity of 132 lbs., this fold-out table hardware is always ready for the unexpected. When the party’s over, just simply flip the table leg up, slide the hardware back into the drawer and reclaim your room.
