Natural living is on-trend. Interior design has embraced plants and natural materials as home accessories, which create a friendly, cosy atmosphere and invite you to relax. In autumn and winter, the poinsettia comes into its own as a natural gem; it plays an essential role in styling interiors. Winter rooms shine bright with the coloured bracts of this stunning plant. The experts from Stars for Europe showcase various styles in which poinsettias are the star of the show.
Green Spirit
Sit down and exhale. The living room is turning green. Plants and natural materials play an essential role in the on-trend green living style. A winter forest offers nature lovers an almost infinite treasure of twigs, cones and other natural materials, which are popular as beautiful decorative accessories during the festive season.
