We could write plenty of articles about table centerpiece ideas. They can be harmonized with each other in terms of color, style of our interior design or decorated accordingly to the current season. In spring and summer, the most beautiful decoration will be fresh flowers in a decorative vase or fruit in an artistic bowl. But flowers and fruit are not the only things that can play a role of a proper table centerpiece. A beautiful artistic sculpture will definitely make a statement in your dining room. Another good idea for a table decoration are candles or artistic trays, which can also help with the arrangement of few small objects. Read the article and check our ideas! Add an Assemblage of Objets If you would rather go with an assemblage of objects rather than one single item, think about the arrangement. Play with textures, sizes and colors to create an artistic whole. It can be candles, boxes, vases, flowers, decorative stones etc. Whatever feels ok to you will definitely look good on the table, but pay attention not to display too many things in there! Let Sculpture Shine Dining table is a perfect place to display some magnificent piece of art. Choose one sculpture that matches your character and taste and place it as a table centerpiece to add luxurious vibe to your living room. Display a Matching Set Sometimes items look better displayed together. Choose different shapes or types of objects from one set and place them on your table. Both functional and glamorous, those items can also be a good conversation starter. Stack Some Books Although books aren’t consider to be an usual table centerpiece objects, it is worth considering using them as a decoration. They can enrich the whole composition, help to vary the height of other displayed objects or just play a role of a conversation starter. Create a Monochrome Display If you have a special collection of objects to display, consider keeping the look monochromatic. It will look sophisticated and classy, while different objects itself will still make the display look interesting and sophisticated. Choose different sizes of candles, bowls or vases in the same color. Play with colors On the other hand, colors can also help to arrange a very powerful tabletop centerpiece display. If you like to play with colors and are not afraid of mixing styles, choose colorful items that will make a statement in your dining room. Add Artistic Touch to your Flowers Arrangement Flowers are one of the most common tabletop centerpiece choice. They are fresh and beautiful, adding spring vibe into your dining room. For a better display, choose an artistic vase that will enlighten the bouquet. A luxury vase will also work well solo, so whenever you don’t feel like taking care of having fresh flowers on the table, an artistic vase will do all the work anyway. Surprise your guests with an extraordinary table centerpiece! Although people usually go with objects like vases, candles, bowls of fruits or sculptures, you might go a little cray with putting an item that won’t necessary be considered a tabletop centerpiece object. Think about displaying some extraordinary artistic boxes or sculptures, that will positively shock your guests.

The summer 2020 issue 4 of YOLO Journal is dedicated to Greece, a dream destination of many. In this issue, the contributors shared their secret islands, hotels, villa rentals, and food! Nowadays we are flooded with information fingertips away but the truth is everyone appreciates a nice printed magazine at hand with beautiful double page spread and without confusing ads to just let the mind drift away. We can follow instagrammers and go to places they post but having a good curator who gathers all the intel for you and puts them in one issue is a desirable idea. Yolanda Edwards is the founder of YOLO Jornal and former creative director of Condé Nast Traveler. Being in the business for three decades, she experienced the shortcomings of existing travel publishing: the photographers who have more emotional connection with the photos don’t get to write the description. The editors write in an algorism calculated way that doesn’t seem to be able to grasp what we really want to read. Medias are number focused instead of customer focused. These are problems Yolanda aims to solve with YOLO Journal. She is always talking with people to collect genuine and interesting stories. As an experienced traveler, Yolanda has Greece in a very special place in her heart given that this is where she traveled internationally for the first time at 16 years old by herself. “I never felt more alive and free,” she said (quoted from Yatzer´s interview with Yolanda). And that is a feeling travel lovers are not unfamiliar with. It’s the pursuit of these feelings that give us itchy feet. When asked about how she is dealing with quarantine restriction during the current situation, she replied that it was nice staying put for a change and going through the things she collected during all the trips. But then when asked where she would travel to when conditions allow, she answered any european country that would take her.  “I want to provide something that makes my readers emotional, that connects on a deeper level that results from really letting the contributors’ voices come out.” – Yolanda Edwards You can subscribe or order the magazine here on YOLO Journal website, or follow Yolanda on her instagram.

Iris Apfel celebrated 100 years yesterday, but we are always on time to wish her the best. But also, ask her to continue to present us with the most iconic styles. Iris Apfel is the living proof the age is only a number. According to her own words “Everything about turning 100 is fantastic, but I really do believe that I’m still the world’s oldest teenager,”. Her secret is simple: Equal parts passion and drive. She has worked as an interior designer for decades after she created the fabric house Old World Weavers in 1950 with her husband. Their company worked with the White House, helping with interior design and renovation projects. Although she always had an amazing taste in style and an eye for fashion, the industry only calls her up much later. Apfel said that “My first big job in fashion came when I was 84, so as cliché as it is, age really is just a number to me,”. She really is passionate about her work and her projects, which was what kept her young and she never stopped working. Confidence makes you a Badass Woman, and that is exactly what Iris is! “Anybody who embraces who they are in their style, career, really any aspect of their life is a badass.” Iris Apfel is always creating, and she is inspired by all the trips she has done over the years. For each of her designs, it is possible to see true love for architecture, bold colors, and décor. Happy Birthday dear Iris Apfel!
