Is your holiday decor looking a little humdrum this year? Let poinsettia accents flourish anywhere your home needs a decorative boost! With their saturated, showy red bracts, poinsettias are just the thing to perk up a floor, furnishing, or window. Decorating with poinsettia accents allows you to bring a cohesive element to your room while still giving you the flexibility to mix and match a variety of items.

For this holiday living room, we started with five larger pieces that would set the stage for all kinds of accessories to be added afterward. We used the following:

• a full, coordinating window treatment (curtains with tiebacks and a matching valance)
• a tall, flat-back tree that could be pushed close to the wall (decorated with faux poinsettias, of course)
• a grand wall mirror set (central mirror and two grille-style sides)
• a decorative stained glass fireplace screen
• a statement rug (a poinsettia runner with shaped edges)

From here, we simply embellished the room with smaller poinsettia accents or glimmering accessories:

• two different holiday throw pillows nestled together on a loveseat
• a trio of glittering red wire tree accents grouped on the floor
• a ribbon-and-greenery garland placed across the mantel
• a pre-lit poinsettia wreath hung over the fireplace
• an angel topper with poinsettias displayed atop the tree
