Bring The Magic To Your Bedroom With Christmas Decoration Ideas 

There’s nothing quite like decorating for Christmas. When pulling out those storage tubs of twinkling lights and baubles, it’s time to let your imagination run wild. However, the halls aren’t the only space in the house that should be decked at Christmas time.  

While the living room and home exterior often get the most attention for Christmas decorating ideas, it’s also easy to transform your bedroom into its own holiday wonderland. With this guide, you’ll have all the Christmas room ideas you need to bring the festive feeling into your bedroom. Find ideas for adding pops of holiday colours, using scents and lighting, switching up your bedding and more.  

How to make a bedroom look Christmassy 

There are many different ways to creatively bring the Christmas vibes into your bedroom. Whether you do a full revamp with Christmas bedroom decor or swap out your old bedding for some festive colours, small touches can make a world of difference. Here’s how to decorate your bedroom for Christmas.  

Decorate with traditional Christmas colours

One of the easiest Christmas bedroom ideas is to add pops of traditional Christmas colours to your space.  

 Some popular choices include a traditional colour palette of red, green, gold and silver in the form of ornaments, statues or wreaths. If you want to embrace a less traditional Australian Christmas theme, your reds and greens could come from a bottlebrush wreath, eucalyptus garlands or even koala and kangaroo decorations sporting Santa hats. Eucalyptus can also help add a beautiful fresh scent to the room, adding to that uplifting holiday vibe. 

Swap out your sheets for festive bedding  

Another great way to capture the magic of the season is with your bedding - plus it’s super quick and easy. Switching your regular bedding for Christmassy sheets and quilt covers can help you create a fresh, festive look without having to make too many changes. 

 If prints like Christmas trees, flannel or reindeer quilt covers aren’t your style, you can easily create your Christmas vibe with colours alone. Think pristine white sheets and quilt covers with red and green accent pillows. Or, you could add some pops of silver and gold to create a cosy space.  

Add some twinkle with Christmas bedroom lighting 

While Christmas lights are often wrapped around the exterior of your home, you can easily introduce some twinkle with indoor ambient lighting. Take inspiration from your Christmas tree and wrap some fairy lights around your bed frame, or string them along your bedhead for a soft nighttime glow.  

 LED stick candles can also help you set the Christmas mood with minimal effort or needing to hang string lights. They can easily be added in candelabras or Christmassy candle holders to add small touches of the festive spirit and are perfect for adding a more subtle hint to the season. 

Entice the senses with scents 

Sometimes smell can take you back to a moment and instantly put you in the right mood. Capturing the scent of the Christmas season can help you bring that holiday spirit into your bedroom, whether that’s cinnamon, pine, vanilla, peppermint, summer fruits or something else entirely. 

 There are many ways to add Christmas scents to your bedroom. Linen and room sprays are great for a quick spritz when you make the bed, while holiday-themed candles and essential oils can fill the room with beautiful aromas, even when not lit.  

Adding the finishing touches

The small, final touches you make with Christmas bedroom decor ideas can be what helps set the mood and capture that holiday spirit. After all, it might be those small details that lift you up when you’re not quite feeling the holiday mood. 

 Take a step back and look at your overall space. It could be a festive throw pillow to include on the bed, a stocking hanging from a shelf or headboard, a holiday-inspired garland across a curtain rod; anything you feel you’re missing.  

Is it OK to have a Christmas tree in the bedroom? 

Yes! A Christmas tree can be a great addition to your bedroom - if you have the space. Adding one to a vacant corner can be a way to utilise empty space, and really bring in the Christmas theme. If you don’t have the room, you could add a miniature Christmas tree to a shelf or bedside table.  

 Remember, Christmas is all about creating magic and having fun. Think about what makes you feel festive, and what your favourite things about the season are. Then, implement them into your space!
