Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas

If you are new to Shiplap and Shells, I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’re here.

My blog is about home, gardening, and the Pacific Northwest lifestyle. You can read more about me here.

Before we get started with my bedroom tours, I want to share a few of my favorite things. These are the things I try to incorporate when decorating any room for Christmas.

Natural Elements

My favorite decorating technique is bringing natural elements from the outdoors inside the home. Foraging in your yard for greenery like evergreen branches, holly berries, pinecones, and magnolia leaves is so rewarding.

I mixed a faux Norfolk pine garland on the mantel with fresh magnolia leaves from our tree. I also have fresh greenery and pinecones sprinkled throughout the bedroom.

Mini Trees

Many primary bedrooms these days have room for full-sized Christmas trees. But how do you transform a smaller holiday space without room for a regular tree?

Bring in a fresh or faux miniature Christmas tree.

I don’t use real trees anymore because I start decorating for Christmas earlier than I used to, and a fresh Christmas tree would dry out before I took it down.

Fairy String Lights

When a small bedroom lacks space, a simple strand of twinkle lights across a wall, headboard, or strung on a garland does the trick.

Putting Christmas lights up is an easy way to transform any room into a festive and magical space.

Garland Around the Windows

Looking for some festive cheer?

Adding garland to a mantel or around the window trim is festive and a perfect decor strategy for working with a small bedroom.

Wreaths

One of my favorite Christmas bedroom decorations to bring in is a beautiful wreath.

I chose an all-white option from Target and some fresh greenery, but you can hang wreaths with greens and berries to make the room pop.

Christmas Ornaments

Who says Christmas decorations are just for hanging on a Christmas tree?

Spruce up your space by displaying ornaments in a mercury bowl, dough bowl, or on the garland.

A Throw and Accent Pillows

Adding a throw blanket and accent pillows is a great idea when you’re looking to decorate simply and quickly for the holidays.

Plaids and tartan throws are very popular when decorating with more traditional colors.

Here, I decided to use a plaid scarf as a table runner.

These holiday decor favorites are perfect for…

Cozy Cottage Christmas Primary Bedroom Tour

Here’s the primary bedroom in our home.

Let’s not sugarcoat it. It’s tiny! I think this is the smallest bedroom I’ve ever slept in.

But what it lacks in size makes up for in the charm department. We’ve made many changes to this room since buying this house over 10 years ago.

Some of the Renovations We’ve Done Over the Years

This cabinet was originally a stand-alone piece crafted in 1920 at the same time the house was being built.

We added another custom built-in on the opposite wall of the room which we use as a dresser.

If you look carefully, you will see that there is literally no room for a dresser in this space so we had to be creative. We barely have enough room for the bedside tables.

The drywall was in poor condition, so we installed tongue and groove walls to cover it.

We added a bathroom off the bedroom a couple of years after moving in.

White Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas

Transforming this bedroom into a festive winter wonderland didn’t take long. Because the room is small, I only added a few things.

I kept our white pillows and bedding and added a pink and blue vintage quilt. A white throw pillow with a Christmas tree adds interest.

I have not decorated this room with traditional colors because of the blue walls.

Decorating the Mantel

My favorite thing to decorate is our mantel, which my hubby built. I love the festive feel the room gets after decorating it.

I used faux Norfolk pine evergreen garland with magnolia leaves and crinkly cream pom-pom garlands I found at a local shop last year.

The warm white lights on the mantel create a bit of whimsy.

Other Decor in the Bedroom

The Christmas wreath above the bed and hung on my vintage shutters came from Target during the fall season, but I love it so much that I decided to keep it out for another season.

Do you see the greenery around each of the chandelier lights? I used napkin holders made of faux greens.

A few holiday decorations, such as the white flocked mini trees and dough bowl filled with ornaments, dress up this space.

Our Guest Room is Making Its Debut

How crazy is it that I have been on Instagram for 4 years, have had my blog for 3 years, and have not shared my guest bedroom?

Red and White Color Theme

This room has a completely different color scheme from the master bedroom. I don’t use too many bright reds around the house during Christmas, so this was a fun room to decorate.

Our master bedroom downstairs has a king-sized bed, so I can’t use this red and white patterned coverlet and shams, but I love them so much. So it’s a treat to bring them out every Christmas in the guest room.

Other Christmas Ideas for Bedroom Decor

Mini Christmas trees sit perfectly on this antique nightstand. Faux red berries brighten up the green tree a bit, but I’d love to get a faux-flocked tree for this bedroom next Christmas.

I hope you found some of these Christmas bedroom decor ideas helpful. Festive touches and a little Christmas cheer go a long way in the bedroom.

Until next time,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
