Super Bowl Entertaining with Krista + Home (As Featured in Homes & Gardens)

Hosting a Super Bowl party is about more than just the snacks and touchdowns—it’s about making sure every guest has a comfortable spot to enjoy the game. At Krista + Home, designer Krista Watterworth Alterman knows exactly how to combine luxury design with functional, family-friendly spaces. Featured in Homes & Gardens, her approach to entertaining ensures that your home can handle a lively crowd without sacrificing style.

 

Why Comfortable Seating is a Super Bowl Must

As Homes & Gardens highlights in their feature, “Styling a Super Bowl party means ensuring every person has a great view of the action on the screen, as well as a comfy place to sit.” For Krista, that means furniture has to earn its keep.

“Super Bowl hosting has become its own kind of design test,” Krista says. Balancing the needs of luxury design clients—including professional NFL and MLB athletes—with her own teens, she knows firsthand that a successful game day setup requires comfort, flexibility, and durability.

 

The Power of Multi-Functional Furniture

One of Krista’s key strategies is using multi-functional furniture like ottomans that double as coffee tables—such as Williams Sonoma’s Laguna Coffee Table Ottoman. This allows guests to lounge comfortably while keeping snacks and drinks within reach.

Careful spatial planning ensures that even in smaller living areas, everyone can see the game, hear the sound clearly, and move freely. Krista also recommends investing in high-quality tech, like a Samsung Surround Sound System, to bring the stadium atmosphere right into your home.

Design Tips for a Game Day-Ready Home

  • Prioritize performance fabrics that are easy to clean and durable.

  • Incorporate modular or multi-purpose furniture to maximize seating.

  • Think about viewing angles for the screen and sound distribution.

  • Plan for snack zones so guests can munch without crowding the seating area.

 

By combining thoughtful design with practical solutions, you can host a Super Bowl party that’s stylish, functional, and fun for all ages.
