Choosing and Decorating a Christmas Bedroom

There are plenty of ways to begin however we advise giving your festive bedroom plenty of subtle, thoughtful details. Instead of overwhelming your space, layer some seasonal accents that enhance its personality, rather than dominate the room.

Choose crisp snowy white bedding with hints of red, green or gold – perhaps with cushions or throws. If you’re keen for more luxurious Christmas bedroom ideas, select velvet, satin or faux-fur textures, delving into a Narnia-esque look.

Harsh lighting is a big no-no for bedrooms in general however it is particularly important when creating your Christmas bedroom. Choose soft fairy lights, glowing candles or bedside lamps with warming bulbs.

Introduce some scent into your bedroom too. Diffusers are a great way to envoke the Christmas spirit, we suggest delicate fragrances such as pine, cinnamon or vanilla which will gently waft through the air.

Christmas Bedroom Ideas for Adults

Turn your bedroom into sophisticated retreat, one that feels indulgent yet completely serene.

Start with your bed, which as the focal point of your room, is the perfect place to start. If you have a headboard, drape a garland or some twinkling fairy lights across it.

Team with a themed throw to help create that festive ambience and use scatter cushions to introduce festive colours of your choosing.

Larger bedrooms can cope with wall decorations, such as Christmassy bunting, whilst smaller spaces benefit from more understated decorations such as white candles and fairy lights. Consider swapping out your usual collection of pictures and photos for more festive options such as rattan stars or pine cone artwork.

Stick to a Christmas colour palette to avoid your bedroom looking too busy. If you want to keep it minimal, why not create a White Christmas bedroom with some opulent finishing touches like some faux fur or a chandelier?

Christmas Bedroom Ideas for Children

Let’s face it, little one’s embrace the magic of Christmas more than most of us so it makes sense to really go the extra mile with the décor in their bedrooms.

Allowing them to feel the festive magic from the moment they open their eyes until it’s time for bed, transforming children’s bedrooms is the chance to create a winter wonderland!

This doesn’t need to be complicated, if you don’t fancy making major changes then simply add some kid’s Christmas bedding with snowmen, reindeer or Father Christmas motifs. With so many wonderful designs, you can easily find some a Christmas bedding style that suits your child’s colour palette whilst emitting that festive aura.

Hang their stockings at the end of the bed , run some tinsel or lights along the headboard and add some cuddly Christmas cushions. Place an illuminated snow globe on their bedside table or stick some glow in the dark stars on their ceiling, for that cosy bedtime sparkle.

If you have space and really want to go the extra mile, why not put a small Christmas tree in your child’s bedroom? Decorate with safe, shatter-proof ornaments which your child can have fun arranging themselves, giving them the chance to create their dream tree, ready for Santa’s arrival!

Christmas Bedroom Ideas for Teenagers

Decorating a Christmas bedroom for a teenage is slightly different than for a younger child. As we are all aware, teenagers love a balance of style and individuality so let them take the reins whilst suggesting a more subtle approach.

Instead of Christmas bedding, opt for a more chic, modern approach using pops of colour, a Christmas-themed cosy throw or some colourful scatter cushions.

Use a pinboard to tastefully hang fairy lights, draped around photos, cards or holiday trinkets of their choosing.

Candles are usually a hit with teenages so try introducing Christmas candle holders with festive foliage and berries. Place some warming Christmassy scents inside, such as cinnamon and orange, to help to complete the look.

Christmas Bedroom Ideas for Guests

Christmas is the one time of the year we all come together and so it is highly likely that your guest bedroom will become a well-visited space!

Be mindful not to over-personalise when decorating, instead keep the colour palette neutral, insteadt hinting at the festive season with white linens complemented with red cushsions or a plaid throw.

You could consider provide thoughtful extras like hot chocolate sachets, scented candles, or a festive bedside arrangement, setting the tone for a memorable holiday visit.

For the finishing touch, why not all a small wreath on the bedroom door?

Bringing It All Together

Last but definitely not least, don’t forget the windows! Whether it’s children’s, teens or adults’, a stencil on your window can create a truly lovely, inviting aesthetic in your bedroom. There are lots of different stencils out there, so whether you fancy a stencil of a star or of Father Christmas, the choice is yours!
