It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and it’s not just the living room that should be decorated!
You can spread the holiday cheer to every room in your home, including the bedroom.
To help you get started, we’ve put together this list of Christmas bedroom decor ideas that are sure to make your room look festive and fun.
1. Go Big With a Christmas Tree in the Bedroom
If you have the space, a Christmas tree in the bedroom is a must.
You can choose a small, artificial tree that you can use year after year, or if you have the space, go all out with a large, real tree.
Then, just add your favorite ornaments and a tree topper.
You can also use a faux flocked tree in the bedroom to create a snowy look.
This tree in this bedroom by Kelleynan is decorated with silver, gold, and white ornaments.
2. Use a Small Christmas Tree in the Bedroom
If you have the space, using a small Christmas tree in the bedroom is a great way to add some holiday cheer.
This small tree fits perfectly in the corner of the room and is decorated with a simple color scheme of white and gold.
You can find small trees like this at most stores that sell artificial trees, and they come in a variety of sizes.
If you don’t have the floor space for a tree, you can also use a tabletop tree.
3. Put a Christmas Tree on the Wall
Can’t fit a full-size tree in your bedroom? No problem. Opt for a wall-mounted version instead.
This one, from Taryn Whiteaker, is made from a few pieces of wood and a string of lights,
but you can also buy a pre-made one, like this one from Wayfair.
4. Decorate the Wall Above the Bed for Christmas
The wall above the bed is the focal point of any bedroom. It’s the first thing you see when you walk in, and it sets the mood for the entire space.
So, why not decorate it for Christmas?
You can hang a wreath, a garland, or a few stockings from the wall to give it a festive touch.
Or, you can go all out and create a whole Christmas scene, like this one.
The large sign with the words “let it snow” and the snowflake garland create a perfect backdrop for the rest of the Christmas decorations in this room.
Whatever you choose, just make sure it’s something that makes you feel happy and cozy when you look at it.
5. Hang a Garland on the Headboard
A Christmas garland is the perfect way to add some seasonal flair to your headboard.
This bedroom designed by Tamsin Johnson is a lesson in how to decorate with green and red in a way that feels unexpected but still festive.
The red and white patterned pillows are a classic touch,
but the funky art above the bed and the green throw add a modern twist to the traditional color combo.
6. Decorate the Nightstands for Christmas
Don’t forget to add some holiday cheer to your nightstands.
These simple little displays are the perfect way to dress up your bedside tables for the season.
A small Christmas tree, a candle, and a few ornaments is all you need to create a pretty little Christmas vignette.
7. Use Christmas Bedding
Changing out your bedding is one of the easiest ways to give your bedroom a festive look.
There are so many different Christmas bedding options to choose from.
You can go with a classic red and white plaid, a snowy scene, or even a fun and whimsical pattern.
If you want a more subtle Christmas look, go with a neutral colored duvet and add a few Christmas throw pillows.
8. Add a Christmas Pillow to the Bed
I love to decorate my bed with a cozy throw blanket and a few pillows. It’s such an easy way to add a pop of color and pattern to the bed.
For Christmas, I like to swap out my regular pillows for a few holiday-themed ones.
This Christmas bedroom decor idea features a red and white pillow and a green and white pillow.
I also added a small red and white throw blanket to the foot of the bed.
9. Decorate the Bedroom With Christmas Ornaments
If you have a large bedroom, consider adding a Christmas tree and decorating it with your favorite ornaments.
You can also use the same ornaments to decorate your bedroom’s light fixtures.
In this bedroom, the large Christmas tree is the focal point of the room. The tree is decorated with a variety of ornaments, including white, gold, and silver.
The tree is also decorated with white Christmas lights, which add a warm and cozy glow to the room.
The rest of the room is decorated with a white and gold color scheme, which adds to the elegant and sophisticated look of the room.
10. Add a Christmas Scent to Your Bedroom
There are so many great Christmas scents that can fill your bedroom and make it feel like the holidays.
My favorite way to add a scent to my bedroom is a candle, but you could also use a wax melt, essential oil, or room spray.
Just be sure to use a scent that you love and that doesn’t irritate your sinuses.
11. Hang Christmas Stockings on the Bed
Christmas stockings aren’t just for the fireplace! Hang your family’s stockings on the foot of the bed for an unexpected touch.
You can even add a garland to the headboard to tie the look together.
12. Use a Christmas Wreath in the Bedroom
Wreaths are another popular Christmas decor item that you can use to decorate your bedroom.
You can hang a wreath on the wall, on the back of a chair, or on the door.
This beautiful bedroom features a simple green wreath hanging on the wall above the bed.
The greenery adds a lovely touch of Christmas to the room, and it looks so pretty against the white wall.
13. Decorate the Bedroom Door for Christmas
Don’t forget about the bedroom door when decorating for Christmas. After all, it’s the first thing you see when you walk into the room.
This simple idea from us adds a classic Christmas wreath to the door and hangs a few ornaments from the knob.
14. Hang Christmas Lights in the Bedroom
String up some Christmas lights in the bedroom for a festive glow.
You can drape them around the headboard, along the window, or even around a bedroom mirror.
For a similar look, you can hang garland or a lighted Christmas wreath above the bed.
15. Put a Santa Hat on the Bed
This simple touch adds a bit of whimsy to this bedroom.
The rest of the bedding is kept neutral and simple, but the Santa hat adds a pop of red and a playful touch to the room.
16. Add a Small Christmas Tree to the Dresser
If you have a dresser in your bedroom, you can use it to display Christmas decor.
A small, tabletop Christmas tree is the perfect addition to a bedroom dresser. You can add lights, ornaments, and a tree topper to make it really stand out.
You can also add garland, candles, and other Christmas decor to the top of your dresser.
I love how this tree is centered in the middle of the dresser and the decor is spread out on either side.
17. Decorate With a Christmas Village
A cute Christmas village is the perfect addition to a bedroom. You can find a small village set that will fit on a dresser or a nightstand.
This village is part of a larger Christmas bedroom decor theme, complete with a flocked tree, a Christmas sign, and a cozy throw blanket.
18. Put a Snowman in the Bedroom
A snowman pillow and a few other snowman decorations make this bedroom feel like a winter wonderland.
The snowman theme is even carried through to the Christmas tree with snowman ornaments.
Conclusion
Decking out your bedroom for the holidays doesn’t have to be a pain. You can keep it simple and let the festive bedding steal the show, or add a few more touches of holiday cheer with a mini tree, a pretty garland, or a pair of stockings. Either way, your space will feel merry and bright all season long.
