7 Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas to Last All Winter Long
Do you decorate your bedroom for Christmas? While this isn't the first place
I think of to decorate, I do like to bring a touch of the holidays to this
space.
Unlike the rest of the home though, your bedroom decor will likely only be
appreciated by you or your partner. As a more private space, you don't need
to make it overtly festive and Christmassy and match the rest of your
holiday decor - unless that's what you want, of course. You do YOU! ;)
Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas
Which is why I've decorated this space in simple wintry decor that still
feels special for the holidays. Bedroom Christmas decorations can be minimal and chic. Even after Christmas has passed, I want this
room to feel like a sanctuary and a place we can snuggle in and take a cozy
nap. Here's 5 Christmas bedroom decor ideas that will last you all winter
long.
1. Put A Garland On It
A garland is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get that Christmas look.
I'd suggest using a
faux garland
- you don't want pine needles falling on your head while you sleep.
You can drape a garland across your headboard, on your footboard, or on your
curtain rod. Opt for one that's at least 6' long (a standard Queen headboard
is 5') to allow for some swag.
2. Change To Heavier Bed Linens
What's your bedding of choice? In spring and summer, I prefer cool, crisp
percale sheets and cotton blend duvet covers or quilts. I can tell when it's
time to switch to winter bedding when the duvet cover plus top sheet is not
enough to keep me feeling warm.
I have a flannel duvet and flannel sheets but they're not my favourite.
They're prone to pilling and static and my long hair just clings to it. If
you can live with that though,
flannel sheets
are very soft and comfortable.
This year, I've decided to switch to a quilt plus linen duvet cover and the
combination is a winner. I'm so pleased with this linen duvet cover with ruffle fringe! It's warm and textured yet doesn't feel too heavy. The ruffle also brings
a bit of elegance to the room. Underneath we have a
simple quilt with a diamond pattern. I imagine I'll use this quilt on it's own in the summer as it is
lightweight and comes with matching shams.
3. Add Cozy Pillows and Throws
Along with heavier bed linens, cozy pillows and throws can make your bedroom
feel winter-ready. There's a subtle nod to Christmas with my
felt Noel pillow and
faux fur cushion on the bench. Their pale colours work well with the neutral scheme in
our bedroom.
I've also added a
chunky knit oversized throw
to the foot of our bed. It is super soft and the coziest thing to wrap
yourself in when you're reading in bed.
The long lumbar pillow which I sewed adds pattern and interest. If you don't
want too many pillows on your bed, instead of two or more toss cushions, opt
for one long accent pillow. The navy blue colour ties into our navy blue
Christmas decor this year. It's a subtle way to make our home feel cohesive
and pulled together.
4. Add a Wreath To Your Door
This may be my favourite Christmas decoration this year! I shared how I made
this
easy DIY wreath last week. It literally took me less than 5 minutes to make yet looks
very chic.
I've put one on each of our bedroom doors. This small wreath has had the
surprising effect of making our bedroom feel special and brings some decor
into our upstairs hallway, a place I never decorate. Love the unexpected
holiday touch!
5. Decorate With Plaid
It's a given - there is bound to be plaid in each room of my home. It's my
favourite pattern and I use it liberally. Here in our bedroom, our plaid
curtains (fabric from
Tonic Living) bring a cozy feel year round but are especially apropos at Christmas. I
have additional
plaid throws tucked into the nightstand. They're both functional and decorative.
6. Switch Out Your Rug
There's nothing worse than stepping out of a warm bed onto a freezing cold
floor, am I right? In the summer, I use our
jute and chenille rug
in this room but for winter, I prefer this
darker grey rug. It's softer underfoot and the darker colour makes the entire room feel
cozier.
7. Use Wintry Accessories
Nutcrackers and miniature Christmas trees are perfectly festive, but they can feel dated once Christmas has passed. Decorate your bedroom with more timeless, wintry
accessories and you won't feel compelled to redecorate until spring.
I've used more classic motifs like brass figurines, owls in snowglobes, and
greenery in a vase on our bedside tables. Even the bottlebrush tree feels more timeless when it appears in white as opposed to a traditional green.
What do you think, do you prefer a more obvious Christmas decorated bedroom look? I hope this peek at our bedroom has given you ideas on how to transition your space from holiday to simply cozy!
