The bedroom is the easiest room to leave out at Christmas, and one of the best to include. Waking up to twinkle lights and a plaid throw makes the whole season feel slower.
Below are 36 Christmas bedroom decor ideas, from cozy bedding and headboards to nightstands, simple touches, color schemes, DIY decor and kids’ rooms. Each one lists the supplies and one tip. For year-round comfort, see our cozy bedroom ideas.
Cozy Christmas Bedroom Ideas
1. Plaid Flannel Bedding
Red and green plaid flannel bedding gives the bed that classic Christmas look. Warm string lights glow around evergreen sprigs, and a small Christmas tree adds a soft green accent nearby.
Use a flannel duvet cover, two pillow shams, evergreen stems, string lights, and a small tree. Fold the duvet at the foot of the bed to show more of the pattern without having to buy extra layers.
2. Chunky Knit Throw at the Foot of the Bed
A chunky cream knit throw rests across the foot of the bed, adding plenty of texture to the neatly made bedding. Evergreen accents and warm holiday details keep the room feeling festive but calm.
Gather one oversized knit throw, neutral bedding, two accent pillows, pine stems, and a small ornament. A 50-by-60-inch throw usually makes a tidy fold that covers the lower third of the bed.
3. Warm String Lights Over the Headboard
Warm string lights drape above the headboard and outline the bed with a soft golden glow. Small Christmas accents sit nearby, while neutral bedding keeps everything restful.
Pick battery-powered string lights, clear hooks, evergreen garland, neutral pillows, and a timer. Place the hooks about 12 inches apart so the strand hangs in smooth curves without sagging.
4. Faux Fur Pillows and a Cream Duvet
The bed is dressed in a cream duvet with soft faux fur pillows layered against the headboard. Subtle greenery and small holiday accents add color, while the pale palette keeps the room airy.
Use a cream duvet, two faux fur pillow covers, one velvet cushion, evergreen sprigs, and a small ornament. Removable covers are worth choosing here, since the seasonal texture can be stored in a single drawer.
5. Sheepskin Rug Beside the Bed
A white sheepskin rug lies beside the neatly made bed, adding a soft landing underfoot. Cream bedding and restrained Christmas greenery keep the palette clean and cozy.
Start with a 2-by-3-foot faux sheepskin rug, cream bedding, pine stems, a woven basket, and a small tree. Add rug tape underneath so the piece stays flat beside the bed.
Christmas Headboard and Bed Ideas
6. Garland Draped Across the Headboard
Evergreen garland curves across the headboard above layered white bedding. Small red ornaments and warm lights bring Christmas color to the bed without crowding the wall.
Collect a 6-foot garland, removable hooks, warm lights, red ornaments, and ribbon. Secure the garland at five points so it keeps an even, scalloped shape.
7. Wreath Hung Above the Bed
A decorated evergreen wreath hangs above the bed as a simple focal point. White bedding, warm wood, and a few holiday details let the wreath carry most of the color.
Use a 20-inch wreath, a wide ribbon, one wall hook, white bedding, and pine cones. Hang the wreath 8 to 10 inches above the headboard for a balanced gap.
8. Red Velvet Bow on the Headboard
A large red velvet bow sits at the center of the headboard above the neatly made bed. Cream bedding and small evergreen accents give the bold bow plenty of room to stand out.
Gather 1 yard of red velvet ribbon, floral wire, white bedding, pine stems, and two red cushions. Shape the loops around a cardboard form to create a fuller bow with less ribbon.
9. Lit Branches Behind the Bed
Warmly lit branches rise behind the headboard and frame the decorated bed. Neutral sheets, evergreen pieces, and gentle lights create a woodland Christmas feel.
Use bare branches, LED fairy lights, a tall vase, neutral bedding, and small ornaments. Anchor the branches with stones in the vase before adding the lights so the display feels steadier.
10. Ribbon Tied Pillows
Festive ribbons tie around the pillows at the head of the bed, giving the bedding a wrapped-gift detail. Soft white layers and evergreen touches keep the arrangement comfortable.
Set out two pillow covers, 2 yards of satin ribbon, white bedding, pine sprigs, and small ornaments. Tie loose bows at the front so the pillows are still easy to remove at bedtime.
Aesthetic Christmas Bedroom Decor
11. Neutral Beige Christmas Bedroom
Beige bedding fills the bed, while subtle greenery rests along the headboard and a small decorated tree stands nearby. Warm lights and natural wood keep the room soft and quiet.
Choose beige linen bedding, a 4-foot tree, eucalyptus stems, warm lights, and woven baskets. Repeat one beige shade in the pillows and rug to help the room feel connected.
12. Sage Green and Cream Bedroom
Sage green and cream layers dress the bed, while evergreen stems and warm lights bring gentle holiday color to the room. Light wood furniture adds a natural finish without competing with the bedding.
Gather sage pillow covers, a cream duvet, evergreen garland, warm lights, and a ceramic vase. Stick to two shades of green at most to keep the calm palette from getting muddled.
13. Vintage Christmas Bedroom
Plaid bedding, classic ornaments, and evergreen greenery give the bed a vintage Christmas character. Warm lights and aged wood furniture add depth without making the room feel too busy.
Use a red plaid duvet, glass ornaments, a 6-foot garland, warm lights, and a wooden tray. Mix secondhand ornaments with new bedding to build the look at a lower cost.
14. Scandinavian White Bedroom
White bedding and pale walls make the bed feel bright, while a small Christmas tree and simple greenery add shape. Neutral ornaments and warm lights keep the Scandinavian style pleasantly uncluttered.
Prepare white bedding, a 4-foot tree, wood ornaments, pine branches, and warm lights. Leave open space around each decoration so those clean lines remain visible.
15. Moody Deep Green Bedroom
Deep green walls or bedding create a rich backdrop for evergreen garlands and a small Christmas tree. Neutral sheets and warm lights brighten the bed area without taking away from the moody color.
Use deep green bedding, a 6-foot garland, a small tree, cream pillows, and warm lights. Add cream textiles at the center of the bed to keep the dark palette balanced.
Christmas Nightstand and Dresser Ideas
16. Mini Tree on the Nightstand
A small decorated Christmas tree sits on the nightstand beside the neatly made bed. Tiny ornaments, warm lights, and neutral bedding give the bedside corner a festive finish.
Gather a 2-foot tree, miniature ornaments, a nightstand tray, warm lights, and a small pot. Place a tray beneath the tree to catch loose needles and protect the wood. Find more in our mini Christmas tree ideas.
17. Bottle Brush Trees on the Dresser
Miniature bottle brush trees line the dresser in varied heights and soft green shades. The simple display adds Christmas detail while leaving the mirror and drawers usable.
Collect five bottle brush trees, a shallow wooden tray, a small candle, and neutral ornaments. Group the trees at different heights inside one tray for a tidy arrangement.
18. Candle Lantern and Pine Sprigs
A candle lantern glows on the nightstand beside loose pine sprigs and a decorated dresser. Wood tones, soft bedding, and evergreen color make the corner feel warm and inviting.
Use a glass lantern, one flameless candle, pine sprigs, a ceramic dish, and a small ornament. A battery candle is the safer choice beside fabric bedding. For the rest of the year, see our bedside table decor ideas.
19. Dresser Mirror With a Garland
Evergreen garland and warm lights frame the mirror above the wooden dresser. Small seasonal accents sit on the dresser surface, and the mirror reflects the soft glow.
Gather a 6-foot garland, removable hooks, warm lights, a wooden tray, and two ornaments. Attach the lights first, then layer the garland over the cord for a cleaner finish.
Simple Christmas Bedroom Decorations
20. One Small Wreath on the Door
One small evergreen wreath hangs on the closed bedroom door and gives the entry a clear Christmas touch. Neutral walls and simple bedding keep the decoration easy to live with.
Use a 12-inch wreath, a removable over-door hook, ribbon, and a small ornament. Pick a lightweight wreath so the door opens smoothly and the hardware stays secure.
21. Paper Star Lantern Over the Bed
A glowing paper star lantern hangs above the neatly decorated bed, creating a soft focal point. The simple bedding and restrained greenery let its shape really stand out.
Gather one 18-inch paper star, a cord kit, a ceiling hook, white bedding, and evergreen sprigs. Hang the star high enough to clear the pillows, and run the cord neatly along the wall.
22. Stocking on the Bedpost
A red Christmas stocking hangs from the wooden bedpost beside the neatly made bed. Cream bedding and a few green accents give this easy detail a warm, cozy setting.
Use one fabric stocking, a ribbon loop, a wooden bedpost, neutral bedding, and a small evergreen stem. If the stocking doesn’t have a built-in hanger, add a felt loop.
23. Pine Branches in a Vase
Pine branches stand in a vase on the bedside table beside the bed. Their deep green color adds a clear Christmas touch, while the simple arrangement leaves the surface feeling open.
Choose three pine branches, a 10-inch ceramic vase, a bedside table, and one neutral ornament. Trim the stems at different heights so the arrangement feels full without requiring too many branches.
24. Ornament Bowl on the Bench
A bowl filled with colorful Christmas ornaments sits on the bench at the foot of the bed. Neutral bedding and soft textiles help ground the brighter display.
Use a wide ceramic bowl, eight ornaments, a wooden bench, a folded throw, and pine sprigs. Place a folded cloth inside the bowl to cushion glass ornaments and cut down on rattling.
Pink and Colorful Christmas Bedrooms
25. Pink Christmas Bedroom
A small pink Christmas tree stands near the bed with warm lights, colorful ornaments, and wrapped gifts underneath. Pink textiles carry the same cheerful color through the rest of the room.
Gather a 4-foot pink tree, pastel ornaments, warm lights, pink pillow covers, and two wrapped boxes. Repeat one ribbon color on both the gifts and tree for a finish that feels pulled together. Pair it with one of our pink Christmas tree ideas.
26. Blue and White Christmas Bedroom
Blue and white bedding fills the bed, while greenery, ornaments, and warm lights add holiday detail. A small tree repeats the blue accents beside the room’s pale textiles.
Use blue pillow covers, white bedding, a 3-foot tree, silver ornaments, and evergreen stems. Keep the tree near the bed so its color connects naturally with the pillows.
27. Red and White Christmas Bedroom
Red and white bedding gives the bed a bold Christmas look, while greenery and warm lights soften the strong color pairing. Red ornaments add little points of shine around the room.
Choose white bedding, red pillow covers, evergreen garland, warm lights, and red ornaments. Keep the largest surface white so the red accents stay crisp rather than overwhelming.
28. Pastel Christmas Bedroom
Pastel pink walls and bedding surround a small, colorful Christmas tree decorated with playful ornaments. The soft palette makes the room cheerful without taking away from its comfortable feel.
Gather pastel pillow covers, a 3-foot tree, multicolor ornaments, warm lights, and a pink throw. Choose matte ornaments for a gentler look that blends easily with the pale walls.
DIY Christmas Bedroom Decor
29. Paper Snowflakes in the Window
Handmade paper snowflakes decorate the bedroom window above the bed. The white paper shapes add a light Christmas pattern while the bedding and greenery remain simple.
Use white paper, scissors, removable tape, string, and a pencil. Fold each square before cutting to create matching snowflakes without quite so much measuring.
30. Popcorn Garland on the Headboard
A popcorn garland drapes across the headboard above the bed, adding a handmade cream-colored detail. Neutral bedding and small evergreen accents keep the natural decoration in focus.
Prepare popped popcorn, a needle, sturdy thread, scissors, and removable hooks. Let the popcorn cool completely before threading so it stays firm and is easier to handle.
31. Felt Ball Garland
Colorful felt balls form a cheerful garland across the headboard above the neatly made bed. Bright reds, greens, and creams bring playful Christmas color to the soft bedding.
Use 30 felt balls, embroidery thread, a large needle, scissors, and removable hooks. Space the balls 3 inches apart for an even strand with a relaxed, slightly casual drape.
32. Dried Orange Garland Over the Window
Dried orange slices hang across the window on a natural garland, adding warm color above the bed. Neutral bedding and evergreen accents work nicely with the golden orange tones.
Gather six oranges, twine, a needle, scissors, and small pine sprigs. Slice the oranges thinly and dry them completely before stringing them to prevent moisture.
Kids’ Christmas Bedroom Ideas
33. Tiny Tree in a Kid’s Room
A tiny decorated Christmas tree sits on the bedside table beside the child’s bed, with wrapped presents nearby. Bright ornaments and soft bedding make the corner feel festive and welcoming.
Use a 2-foot tree, shatter-resistant ornaments, battery lights, wrapped boxes, and a sturdy table. Secure the tree base with museum putty so small hands can’t tip it over easily.
34. Christmas Book Basket by the Bed
A basket of Christmas storybooks rests on the floor beside the child’s bed. Soft bedding, simple greenery, and warm colors create a reading corner with gentle holiday character.
Gather a low woven basket, six Christmas books, a small pillow, a pine sprig, and a soft rug. Choose a basket with handles so the books can be moved easily once the holidays are over.
35. Advent Calendar Wall Pockets
A fabric pocket advent calendar hangs on the wall beside the child’s bed, surrounded by small Christmas decorations. Warm colors and soft bedding keep the display playful without making the room feel crowded.
Use a 24-pocket fabric calendar, removable hooks, paper notes, small ornaments, and a short garland. Fill the pockets with notes or stickers to keep the calendar lightweight.
36. Reindeer Pillow and Plaid Blanket
A reindeer pillow rests on the child’s bed, while a red and green plaid blanket is folded across the foot. Soft neutral sheets and a few small Christmas accents finish the cheerful look.
Choose one reindeer pillow, a plaid blanket, neutral sheets, a small evergreen cushion, and a fabric stocking. Fold the blanket into a narrow band so the pillow stays the main detail.
