House rentals for private events: the "just like home" trend
Just a few years ago, most private events - birthdays, weddings, cocktail parties, wellness retreats - took place in village halls, restaurants or hotels. Today, a new trend is emerging: therental of event homes. More than just a venue, it's an immersive experience that responds to a deep-seated need: to feel "at home", even elsewhere.
A quest for authenticity
Private events are no longer thought of as fixed, standardized moments. Guests now seek to create a singular atmosphere, in contrast to impersonal venues.
- A house tells a story: its architecture, decoration and objects immediately create an atmosphere.
- Guests feel welcome: unlike a large, neutral room, the energy of a lived-in interior encourages conviviality.
- A setting that lets go Far from formal codes, everyone feels at ease to be themselves.
This quest for authenticity explains the boom in homes that can be privatized for a day, an evening or a weekend.
The importance of feeling at home
Why this need for a familiar setting? Because we long for warm, human experiences that are less like a service and more like a moment in life.
- Personalization: an intimate setting allows you to adapt the decor, meals and scenography to your guests' tastes.
- Proximity: guests share a convivial space, inviting discussion and sharing.
- Emotional memory: we remember a dinner in a cosy lounge much more than an evening in an impersonal reception hall.
The success of the in-house format is therefore due to this precious sense of familiarity.
When interior design enhances the experience
A carefully thought-out and decorated home becomes much more than just a space: it acts as a living décor.
- Colors and materials set the mood: warm woods, soft textiles and natural hues soothe and envelop guests.
- Light structures the event: a space bathed in natural light inspires during the day, while a subdued atmosphere creates magic in the evening.
- Details make all the difference: tableware, flowers and tastefully chosen furniture add elegance and character.
At Maison Mandel, every nook and cranny is designed to exude a special energy. Guests discover not just a place, but a scenography that contributes to the experience of the event.
The new expectations of hosts and guests
This trend also reflects changing expectations:
- Live a complete experience, not just attend an event.
- Share a timeless moment in an intimate setting.
- Enjoy tailor-made services such as a private chef, wine tasting or creative workshop.
Privatized homes offer that freedom of personalization and that extra soul not found in traditional formats.
