Christmas bedroom decor ideas
A small tree in the corner, lights you can see from the pillow and bedding you only use in December. This is one plain bedroom, restyled for Christmas three ways, with the walls, window, door and layout where they were. Drag the slider to compare.

Three Christmas looks for this bedroom
- Cozy Christmas: a warm wood bed with cream and red plaid bedding, a chunky knit throw at the foot, a tree with warm white lights and a lit pine garland along a dresser or shelf.
- Scandinavian Christmas: a light oak bed with white and oatmeal linen, a sheepskin, a slim spruce hung with straw stars and paper hearts, and white candles on a wooden tray.
- Classic red and gold: a dark wood bed with red velvet cushions and a red plaid throw, a tree in red and gold with gold ribbon, and poinsettias in gold pots.
Make a tree fit a bedroom
- A slim or pencil tree needs much less floor than a full one, and a tabletop tree on a dresser needs none.
- Keep it at least three feet from a radiator or heat vent and clear of the way to the door. Both rules are on NFPA's tree safety sheet.
- Put the tree lights on a plug-in timer that switches them off before you sleep: NFPA says to turn tree lights off before going to bed.
Bedding and light
- Change the bedding before the furniture: a flannel or plaid duvet cover, a knit throw at the foot of the bed and two cushions in the room's Christmas color.
- A garland along the headboard or a dresser puts the lights at bed height, and battery string lights need no cord across the floor.
- NFPA advises against candles in bedrooms, where more than one third of home candle fires start. Use flameless candles; they look and smell like real ones.
One practical tip: Keep a bedroom to one color story, all warm white or red and white, so it still feels calm at night.
