How to Decorate Your Bedroom for Christmas
In many homes, festive spirit ends where the bedroom begins, but there’s no reason why this should be the case in your home. There are so many fun ways to decorate a bedroom for Christmas, and it doesn’t have to be gaudy!
Whether you’re a minimalist looking for a few simple tweaks or a cottager that loves traditional homely wares, we have a few tips for you.
Here’s how to decorate your bedroom for Christmas. Ho ho ho!
Put up a Christmas tree
If you want to do one thing, put up a Christmas tree! Bedroom Christmas trees tend to be narrower than regular Christmas trees, taking up little space in the corner of a bedroom. A snow-dusted or white tree is a great option.
Embrace merry colours
Red and green are quintessential Christmas colours, so if you want to make your bedroom more Christmassy, swap out your bedding and throws!
You can get beautiful red and green bedding for Christmas that will set the tone for the season every year, or you can go for something different like a snowman, reindeer, or winter wonderland bedding with sparkles.
Hang a Christmas wreath
Wreaths are an easy way to inject festive spirit into your bedroom. Try hanging one above your bed or on your bedroom door.
Drape a Christmas garland over your headboard
Draping a Christmas garland over your headboard will give your bedroom an instant Christmas lift, and it can be as colourful as you like!
Garlands are designed to sit on shelves and fireplace mantels, so they are perfect for draping over and wrapping around your headboard. Trap the garland behind your headboard, so it stays in place, or stick it down with tape or a hot glue gun.
Stack your shelves with Christmas goodies
Santa and reindeer ornaments, snow globes, miniature Christmas trees, Christmas cards - all these are great ideas for your shelves.
Candles, candles, candles!
The soft glow and warmth from candles are unbeatable at Christmas, and you can take things to another level with festive scents.
Christmas scented candles include cinnamon, Christmas cake, gingerbread, hot chocolate, pine and fir, eggnog and winter berries. The best place to get candles is in-store because you need to smell them to see if they are right.
Scented bowl fillers (potpourri)
You don’t need candles to fill your room with Christmassy smells! All you need is a bowl and scented bowl filler (potpourri). Potpourri freshens rooms and is fully recyclable, making it an eco-friendly way to make your room more Christmassy.
Hang twinkly lights
The great thing about twinkly lights is you can use them all year! Stick some to your wall or drape them over your headboard and bedroom furniture.
The best twinkly lights for a Christmassy feel are multi-coloured lights, but a yellow glow will also give you a wintery effect.
Stick Christmas bunting to the ceiling
If fairy lights and garlands aren’t up your street, you can always stick up some Christmas bunting to get into the festive spirit. Bunting is usually reserved for parties, but it’s an excellent temporary decoration that’s dirt cheap as well.
Go big on snow-dusted décor
Snow-dusted décor is our favourite kind of Christmas décor because it makes spaces feel welcoming and homely. Your bedroom is the ideal place for a snow-dusted Christmas tree or a snow-dusted Santa and reindeer display!
Hang up some Christmas stockings

Enjoy the wonder of a light-up snow globe
Light-up snow globes are great because they scatter light in exciting ways, and you don’t need to shake them to get them going. Snow globes not your thing? Get a fake light-up lantern with a snow scene instead.
Hang a Christmas starlight
Last but not least, a Christmas starlight is the finishing touch your bedroom needs this Christmas. The Star of Bethlehem also called the Christmas Star, revealed the birth of Jesus, so it is the most fitting decoration for the season.
