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 basically 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 thing to do when decorating is to bring natural elements from the outdoors inside the home. Going foraging in your yard for greenery like evergreen branches, holly berries, pinecones, and magnolia leaves is so rewarding.

On the mantel, I mixed a faux Norfolk pine garland 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 space for the holidays when there’s no 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

A simple strand of twinkle lights across a wall, headboard, or strung on a garland does the trick when you don’t have a lot of space in a small bedroom.

Putting Christmas lights up can be such 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 looks festive and is a perfect decor strategy when 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

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

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…

• a small bedroom
• decorating for Christmas on a budget
• for those who don’t have a lot of time to decorate for the holidays

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 it makes up for in the charm department. We’ve made a lot of 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 that was crafted at the same time the house was being built in 1920.

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 of the bedroom a couple of years after we moved in.

White Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas

Transforming this bedroom into a festive winter wonderland didn’t take long. The room is small so 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 yet to decorate with traditional colors in this room because of the blue walls.

Decorating the Mantel

Our mantel, built by my hubby is my favorite thing to decorate. I always 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 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 here and there like 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 really don’t use too many bright reds around the house during the Christmas season so this was a fun room to decorate.

Our master bedroom downstairs has a king-sized bed so I’m not able to 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 up 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.

Next up is my friend Christy at Our Southern Home where you’re in for the most beautiful holiday home tour.

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.
