Decorating A Dresser For Christmas

best christmas bedroom ideas

Douglas Friedman/Rachel Pereira

With the cozy appeal of holiday decor, there's no reason not to spread the same cheer in your bedroom. While most decorating mainstays include porches, living rooms, staircases, and even kitchens, the bedroom often gets left for last—or isn't decorated at all. We'd like to make the case against that. From oversized wool throws to petite nightstand trees, you're probably wondering why you never thought of this spot before now. And if you've already hung up your seasonal wreath, decorated the tree with your favorite festive ornaments, or displayed your stockings for everyone to see, your bedroom is a space we suggest you add to your holiday to-do list. This year, decorate without limitation and bring holiday vibes into your personal sanctuary.

Whether you're a minimalist or maximalist, traditionalist or modernist, there are ideas—big and small—for how to infuse your bedroom with a festive feel. So if you're ready to start and end your day surrounded by the spirit of Christmas, read on for 24 brilliant Christmas bedroom designs that make for an endlessly festive home.

1 Scatter Candles Everywhere

If you'd rather not trouble yourself with string lights in the bedroom, we suggest scattering an assortment of pillar candles (LED lit, of course) to create a cozy glow that will light the way.
