Tips For Decorating A Christmas Bedroom
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our home! I’ve been decorating a Christmas bedroom to share with you! It’s cozy and warm and has lots of ideas you can use when it’s time to decorate you bedroom too! Welcome to our ONE ROOM CHRISTMAS TOUR!
I’m so thrilled to be a part of this pretty ONE ROOM CHRISTMAS TOUR!
My blogging friends are featuring one room of our home all dressed up for Christmas! Please visit them at the bottom of the post.
It’s all about the master bedroom today!
Let’s talk about 7 things you can do to make a bedroom in your home Christmas ready!
Keep It Simple
Christmas can be a very hectic time so we want one space that is uncluttered and serene and peaceful! Your bedroom should be a sanctuary!
Decorating a bedroom for Christmas should have some decor that nods to the season but don’t go overboard!
Think simple and tidy! Keep paths you walk free of Christmas clutter!
I brought in some packages to wrap and they looked so pretty on the bed I arranged them a bit and took pictures with them. Usually, I would not have packages on the floor by the bed.
Choose Cozy Bedding
It’s fun to change up or add some pretty and cozy bedding to your bed at Christmas! Add light layers for warmth and comfort. And add a pretty new duvet or quilt to the bottom of your bed!
We are not duvet people. I find them heavy. Instead, we opted for a couple of quilts.
I got this velvet quilt last year. It is so soft and warm.
DON’T FORGET THE PILLOWS
There is nothing quite like pillows to set the tone for a room. So when it comes to decorating a Christmas bedroom, add lots of pillows! For our Christmas bedroom, I added two large Euro Sham pillows with a snowflake design and a long Mongolian pillow to add a luxe look to the bed.
The citron velvet color lumbar pillow pays homage to the accent color I’m using throughout my home this season!
The pillow that looks like little snowballs is one I bring out almost every year when the weather gets cold. The cheetah pillows make an appearance on our bed and other soft furnishings in our home.
And don’t forget to add a pretty throw to a Christmas bedroom too!
One Pretty Arrangement
If you have the space, add one pretty Christmas arrangement to a Christmas bedroom!
Here are some ideas that will work in a bedroom…
- a basket or container of greens
- a bowl of ornaments, greens, and fairy lights
- a poinsettia
- orchid plant
- a bowl of scented pinecones
- flowers and greens
I made an easy arrangement to go in the white ginger jar that sits on my vanity. At the base, I added a big vintage-looking metallic ball and a votive candle.
This room is such a hard room to photograph. We have one large window in our master that floods light in all day long. It’s so pretty in real life, but it’s a mess to photograph.
You can see my vanity HERE and the stool HERE. And see the CHEETAH RUG HERE.
Hang A Wreath
Christmas is all about wreaths, so add one to your bedroom. Hang one above your bed at the foot of your bed, on the door of your room, or even on a mirror.
Wreaths bring quintessential Christmas cheer!
I replaced a middle medallion mirror with a velvet leaf wreath (found locally) with a silk bow.
Use Organics
When decorating a Christmas bedroom, or any room, use greens and organics! Real or faux or both!
A little goes a long way, so use it but with an edited hand!
I love to use both real greenery and good faux greens. It’s a real fool-the-eye winner of a tip!
The seeded eucalyptus is all real, and the evergreen is faux in our Christmas bedroom. Just like all the Christmas decor in this room, it’s important to keep it simple and easy to take care of!
The Beauty Of Light
When decorating a Christmas bedroom, remember to add a bit of glow! Either by candlelight (please use battery-operated candles), fairy lights or a string of pretty lights!
The glow of a candle or tiny lights is magical! And isn’t that just perfect at Christmas!
Add A Tree
I’ve been looking for a skinny tree to go in our Master bedroom. I’ve ordered three trees this season and sent them all back. They weren’t quite what I was looking for.
If you can comfortably fit a tree in your bedroom, it’s so worth having!
Here’s a picture of my favorite white tree in our Master bedroom at StoneGable…
You can see more HERE.
For our Tanglewood bedroom, I’m going to leave the tree sans ornaments. A tree with white lights is all this room really needs. It will go where the little barrel chair is now.
Christmas trees in a bedroom are so magical!
Make Your Bed Every Day
When you take the time to create a beautiful, festive bedroom, make sure to make your bed every day! It will make such a difference in the way your room looks, right?

Do you have a link for the bed skirt??
It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Beautiful room.
Thank you, Cindy
Hi Cindy, the bedskirt came from Soft Surroundings. Hope this helps.
I found it, thank you?
Always so beautiful Yvonne and of course I had to pin your ideas!
You are so sweet Janet. Thanks
Love your bedroom. It is stunning all decked out for Christmas. You always create the most amazing vignettes and I adore all of your beautiful pillows and linens. Such a pretty room.
So kind, Marty.
Yvonne everything looks so festive, beautiful and comfortable! We are looking for a new headboard… May I inquire where you purchased yours from? It looks very cushy! Also, where did you purchase the vintage metallic ornament balls and your snowflake pillowcases?
Bless and thank you for sharing your lovely ideas and beautiful creativity!
Julie
You can find a link to it in the post. I found it at Wayfair, but they only have it in gray now. It was VERY reasonable and has held up well. We love it. You can get on their list to be notified when it comes back in.
Hello Yvonne I am such a fan of you and your Blog. I particularly enjoyed your series of decorating tips! Could you please tell me where you bought your bedroom mattress skirt? I simply love the way it flows onto the floor! Deanna. Montreal, Canada.
I found the skirt at Soft Surroundings.
Gorgeous, warm and cozy!
Thank you Miche!
I adore this room! It’s so beautiful. Could you please tell me where you got the snowflake euro shams? I love the subtle Christmas theme to the bedding.
Thank you, Debby
Hi Debby, I found the Euro Shams at Target. But I don’t see them online. I’ll check again.
Yvonne! Wow! The room is beautiful! In every way! I am Crazy about the shade of green that you used for accessories. I wouldn’t want to leave that bedroom!
I love shades of green especially those that lean towards the citron side. Thanks for your very sweet comment.
I love your art above the nightstands, where did you get them? Everything looks so cozy and bright!
Hi Jane I found the art locally. I’ve been trying to source it for over a year and had no luck.
Sorry I can’t tell you more.
Love the colors you used, Yvonne… and all the decor touches are perfect. That arrangement you made is AMAZING! And love the little elements you placed beside it!
I’ve not decorated bedrooms for Christmas as it’s not a priority and I don’t have the time, but this post has inspired me as to how to add something festive without going into changing bedding and time consuming decorating. I especially love the pillow, velvet throw, the simple arrangement and greenery as well as some well placed ornaments. Thank you for your great design expertise!
I absolutely love it Yvonne! I just realized I don’t think I’ve seen your master bedroom in the new house. It’s beautiful and I love how you added just the right touch for Christmas! Love the color palette!!
Absolutely beautiful! You have inspired me to do something Christmassy in the bedroom. I have never bothered doing that in the bedroom but this year I will. Thank you the inspiration.
Nancy, you will wake up to Christmas magic in your bedroom! How wonderful

I would love to get a beautiful bedskirt such as your open weave one. What is your source.
Hi Rosa, I found it online at Soft Surroundings.
Your bedroom is lovely, as well as glamorous. I always add a tabletop tree to the bedroom and enjoy the soft lights. This year, the small amount of red, although a true cool red, has lost some of its appeal. I, too, am opting for a more neutral palette of a winter wonderland, with sparkle, greenery, texture, and always, pinecones, to warm things. Thank you for demonstrating the beauty of neutral.
Hi Jane, your colors sound beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Such a peaceful and calming color palette, beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart and home with us. May I ask where you found the gorgeous green and gold ribbon?
Hi Jeanette, I sort of collect ribbon whenever I see something I know I can use. One of the ribbons is here:

and another here: https://rstyle.me/+8hkhXvUuGTaXBS0Pxok7bA
I always enjoy your posts. Love your decorating ideas and your gorgeous home!
Yvonne, yes we can warm the spirit with seasonal decor year round. In my 70s I am going through divorce and will find quiet solace in beautifying my surroundings even though no one else will see it. My color palette is taupe and white, with modern bling — and accents in bright magenta, peacock, sapphire and citron. Thanks for reminding us how creating cozy spaces can be as quick and simple as we can handle in trying times. Your Sunday posts are especially encouraging. Keep a happy heart, all.
Char, Oh, I cannot believe how hard this must be. I love your attitude. You are a wonderful example! I just said a prayer for you.
I love your holiday bedroom
Can you tell me what is the art hanging behind your lamps beside your bed.
Thank you
That is a very popular question, Janet! I found these prints locally and I don’t have a source. I’ve tried everywhere I know and can’t find them.
Yvonne, your color scheme this Christmas is unique and beautiful and right up my alley!! After a very hectic workweek I REALLY look forward to reading your Saturday posts with my morning coffee. Thank you!
Oh how nice Jean! We love that you are with us on Saturday mornings.
Hi, Yvonne,
I LOVE your Christmas bedroom! It is sooo cozy and festive. I was wondering if you have a link for the Citron throw.
Thank you,
Diane
Thank you Diane. Here’s the link to the throw:https://amzn.to/41lya5P
Such great ideas to decorate a bedroom. I love the basket on the bed. Simple but so pretty!
Can you please tell where you found the 3 round baskets above your bed? They are perfect there!
Hi Lynne, Here you go and they are on close out. I got two sets because they are so useful:https://rstyle.me/+JUMGPtPxUuPAqioBzBGcMQ
That shade of green is my VERY favorite color to use for Christmas!
Can you tell me where you purchased your brown velvet quilt?
Hi Lori, I found the quilt at Pottery but I don’t see it this year. Sorry I don’t have a source for you.
I love the lamps in your bedroom. Can you let me know where you purchased them?
Thank you,
Beth
I found them on Wayfair but they are no longer available.
