Poinsettias

Flowery festive Christmas poinsettias

Getting ready for that special time of year requires some attention to the finer design details. Christmas is a big event, and creating inviting spaces that feel homely, cosy and above all, Christmassy, will help you celebrate in style. Christmas poinsettias are one gorgeous way of spicing up your home. Adding a splash of colour, and creating a centrepiece, it's one great design tip for any lovers of Christmas. 

Fabrics

Getting something that's made to last makes sense when it comes to Christmas decorations. Because they'll only be up for a matter of weeks, then stored for a year, you'll want to feel sure that the product is as robust as it is pretty, and it won't date when it comes to pinning it in place in years to come. 

Fabric or silk Christmas poinsettias can be a great alternative to more fragile paper if stored right. Or, you can find plastic products that are especially hard wearing. 

Metal and pine

If you're placing it in a more exposed area like a doorway, metal Christmas poinsettias will keep better than more delicate fabric versions. With typical wreath designs with poinsettia and Christmassy pine cones, they are unlikely to fall out of fashion either. 

From simple styles to those with bells, ribbons and other decorative touches, you can find the exact product on eBay to suit your taste. 

Colours

If you're particular about design features, you'll want to shop for your Christmas poinsettia with colour matches in mind. You can stay true to the poinsettia plant and go for colours that feel natural. Or, you can find something that's more decorative and seasonal, with gold touches. Typically, colour splashes in blue, green and white will give you a good middle ground between a natural poinsettia, and a festive feel, or go for a bold red Christmas poinsettia to catch the eye.
