Though Thanksgiving is imminent, Christmas stays on our minds in terms of decor plans, and we were particularly struck by Winnie Harlow's natural, traditional, and simple approach to outdoor decorations with a hero piece: poinsettia.
As seen on the Marketing Studio Los Angeles design page, Winnie's holiday set-up included several pots of the festive plant, placed alongside lush, green Christmas trees adorned simply with white lights and red ornaments.
The pared-back arrangement is proof that opting for high-quality, colorful items is always a win when it comes to Christmas decor ideas, with the plants and trees serving as a solid foundation for some shiny accessories. We love this poinsettia from Amazon, which is super long-lasting and elegant, while these retro-style red ornaments from Wayfair add a nice touch to any green tree.

'Winnie Harlow’s holiday display is a masterclass in how less can truly be more. By letting a single, vibrant poinsettia take center stage and pairing it with lush greenery and restrained ornaments, she creates a look that feels both luxurious and approachable,' comments Megan Slack, the head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens.
'This is the kind of styling that’s worth replicating because it proves you don’t need an over-the-top setup to achieve festive elegance – quality pieces and thoughtful placement make all the difference.'
