With the holidays right around the corner, there’s no better time to bring a little holiday magic into every corner of our homes, including the bedroom! While we often focus on decorating living rooms and dining spaces, adding a touch of Christmas spirit to your bedroom can make each morning feel a bit more special! I’m excited to share how I dressed up my dresser to create a cozy, Christmas-inspired bedroom look that you can easily recreate with just a few affordable finds from Target, Amazon & Etsy!
A well-decorated dresser can anchor the festive feel of your Christmas bedroom. Think of it as a mini seasonal display area, a place to add decor that sets a cozy, wintery vibe. For my dresser, I went with a mix of greens, neutrals, and golds, giving it that classic holiday look without overwhelming the room.
To start, I cleared my dresser to make room for a layered look. I love using a garland as a base – it instantly adds texture and gives that “fresh from the forest” feel. For this setup, I chose a thinner garland from Target. Adding a garland along the edge of your dresser or in a circle around your decor can create a beautiful, natural frame for the rest of your display.
The next step is adding smaller decor pieces, and candles are my go-to! Not only do they create a warm, ambient glow, but they come in so many scents that make the whole room smell like a winter wonderland. For this setup, I placed a few battery-operated LED taper candles to add some height and dimension.
To mix things up, I found a set of mini Christmas trees at Target. These little guys come in different colors, so you can choose between classic green, flocked, or even gold. Adding a couple of these trees on each side of the garland brought balance and symmetry to the display, creating a whimsical feel that complemented the greenery perfectly.
A Christmas bedroom is all about coziness, so soft textures are essential! While the dresser takes center stage, it’s always a good idea to bring some of those cozy elements into other parts of the bedroom, like adding a throw blanket to your bed or an armchair if you have one. Swap out your regular throw pillows for a couple of holiday-themed ones from Amazon. Adding seasonal pillows can make your whole room feel like Christmas without a huge commitment. Look for pillows in shades of deep green, snow white, plaid patterns, or even velvet textures to bring in that cozy Christmas feel.
If you have a mirror over your dresser, don’t let it go undecorated! Adding a small wreath or some hanging ornaments on a ribbon is an easy way to continue the holiday theme upwards. I found a small wreath with bells at Target that was the perfect size for hanging in the center of my mirror.
If wreaths aren’t your thing, another simple idea is to hang a few shatter-proof ornaments on a pretty chiffon ribbon and attach them to the corners of the mirror. The ornaments catch the light beautifully and add just the right amount of sparkle!
One of my favorite ways to add personality to my Christmas bedroom is with a few holiday-themed wall art. I printed a couple of my favorite Christmas prints a few years ago and popped them into frames for a nostalgic touch. Etsy has some adorable prints that fit perfectly with holiday decor, adding a warm feel to the space.
You’re almost done! Scenting the room is a must; besides the candles, consider a room spray or a essential oil diffuser with winter scents like pine, peppermint, or cinnamon to keep the holiday spirit alive all season long. Talk about a way to relax at home! Smelling oh so lovely!
Adding a Christmas touch to your bedroom can make the holiday season feel even more special and cozy. With just a few well-chosen pieces, you can create a space that’s both festive and relaxing.
So, grab your favorite holiday decor, put on some music, set the scene with a cozy blanket, and enjoy the magic of Christmas right in your bedroom. Whether you’re snuggling up with a good book or simply admiring your winter wonderland, a decorated bedroom can make the season even brighter!
