Christmas Bedroom Decor: 12 Cozy Ideas to Copy

Christmas bedroom decor is climbing fast on Pinterest in Canada, with Pinterest Trends showing searches up about 200% month over month. It is an easy trend to love: the bedroom is the one room guests rarely see, so you can decorate it purely for yourself. Here are 12 ideas, each with a real photo, so you can pick a look and have it done by the weekend.

Christmas bedroom decor: how to plan yours

Start with warm light and soft textiles, because a bedroom should still feel calm at night. Choose warm-white LED strands, which stay cool and suit the dry indoor air of a Canadian winter, and keep every garland and tree away from baseboard heaters, space heaters and vents. Use a timer or battery lights so nothing stays on while you sleep, and never hang anything heavy above the pillows. Stick to two or three colours so the room reads as cosy rather than crowded.

1. Garland across the headboard

The simplest big change. Lay a slim garland along the top of the headboard and tuck in a few small lights. A single red knit pillow against white bedding is all the colour it needs.

2. A wreath above the bed

One wreath on the wall turns the bed into a focal point. Use a lightweight wreath and an adhesive hook rated for its weight, so there are no nails in a rental wall and nothing heavy over your head.

3. A tree beside the bed

In a bright, airy room, a flocked tree beside the bed with a few wrapped gifts at its base feels like a winter morning. A slim tree of 1.2 to 1.5 metres fits most Canadian bedrooms without blocking the walkway.

4. Fairy lights and a knit throw

Pin a curtain of fairy lights behind the bed, add a chunky cream throw and a couple of Christmas pillows, and the room glows. It works especially well in a room with a sloped ceiling or an attic window.

5. A red tartan blanket

Tartan is the quickest way to make a room feel like Christmas. Drape a red tartan blanket over a chair or the foot of the bed, and let a green accent chair do the rest of the colour work.

6. Merry Christmas pillows

Printed pillow covers are the cheapest seasonal swap, and they store flat. Keep the bedding white and add one wreath-print and one tree-print cover for a Scandinavian look.

7. Garland with ornaments on an ornate bed

If your bed has a tufted or carved headboard, go glamorous. Red and gold baubles woven into a garland, a few red pillows and a decorated tree in the corner make a hotel-suite look.

8. Moody tree lights

Not every Christmas room needs red. A dark, moody bedroom with grey, plum and mustard pillows and one tree glowing beside the bed feels calm and grown-up. Warm bulbs matter more than the colour of the decorations.

9. Plaid blanket and cushions in a small room

A small bedroom or kid’s room needs only a plaid blanket folded across the foot of the bed and two cushions with a holiday message. Nothing needs hanging, and it all goes back in a bin on Jan. 6.

10. Gold pillows and a lit garland

Cream bedding with gold-print Christmas pillows and a lit garland on the wall is a neutral look that still reads as festive. It suits rooms painted in beige or white.

11. A tree and a ribbon-tied curtain

Tie back a sheer curtain with a wide ribbon, add a small flocked tree and a short garland over the headboard, and a single bed becomes a winter nook. Good for a guest room.

12. Knit red and white textiles

The photo shows the fabric up close: a soft red and white knit with a green stripe. A blanket like this is warm enough for a Canadian January and doubles as decor.
