Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

3 Quick Tips: Small Space Entertaining

3 Quick Tips: Small Space Entertaining

at home, small space, 3 quick tips, entertaining

Hosting a party in a tiny NYC apartment will make you get creative real quick! Here are my top 3 tips for entertaining in a small space. Show me how you use these tips at home via Instagram & Twitter with #estiloathome! 

1. Use side tables to serve food & set up your bar. 

2. Avoid creating a bottleneck by placing food and drinks in different areas of your home. I usually set up a food buffet on the kitchen table & a bar in the living room to create an easy flow throughout the space. 

3. Get creative with seating! Throw some huge pillows on the floor & pull stools, poufs and chairs from around your home into the entertaining area. 

What are your quick tips for entertaining in a small space? #estiloathome
