There’s something magical about a summer BBQ– the scent of the grill, the splash of pool water, the hum of easy conversation. But the real scene stealer? A color-soaked setup that flows effortlessly from swim to supper.
This season, we’re welcoming a bold new era of outdoor entertaining with vibrant tabletop pieces from Juliska– melamine plates in sunny stripes, handwoven placemats in citrus tones and candy-colored glassware that feels as fun as it does elevated. Paired with our plush pool towels in perfectly coordinating hues, your table transforms into a joyful celebration of summer, color and casual hosting done right.

Set the Scene With Color
Think of your color palette as the moodboard for the day. Love a fresh, lemony look? Start with yellow-striped melamine dinnerware and layer on matching linens and our Amalfi, Greek Key, Elements and Cannes towels. Prefer a nautical moment? Blue plates and indigo runners pair beautifully with our Capri Towel in Navy.
Each setting tells a different story– sunny, coastal, romantic, tropical– brought to life through bold color and layered texture. And when your pool towels echo your tabletop, it feels intentional in the best way.

Texture Makes It Elevated
Woven placemats, bamboo napkin rings, crinkled linen napkins– every detail adds visual interest and touchable texture. With Juliska’s new collection, it’s easy to mix materials without the table looking fussy. Choose one element to anchor your look (like a striped runner or colorful glassware) and let the rest layer naturally around it.
Bonus: Melamine and acrylic are as durable as they are beautiful– perfect for poolside practicality with an upscale twist.

Self-Serve, But Make It Chic
Hosting a BBQ doesn’t mean playing bartender all day. A pitcher of sangria or citrus water in Juliska’s acrylic serveware keeps things low-maintenance. Stack cocktail napkins beside the drink station and let guests help themselves. It’s unfussy, it’s functional and it still looks good.

The Finishing Touch: Light + Bloom
Once the sun starts to dip, lean into the glow. Mix taper candles in colored holders with low florals that won’t interrupt conversation. Pull color from the table into your arrangements– you can even snip a few blooms from your backyard garden. With the right details, you’ve extended the magic hour straight into dinner.
