This post is about a Christmas bedroom.
How Do you Create a Christmas Bedroom on a Budget?
Creating a Christmas bedroom on a budget is all about being resourceful and intentional with your design choices. Focus on creating a festive atmosphere throughout small changes that make a big impact rather than overhauling the entire space.
Playing with cozy textures, warm tones, and layers can instantly bring a holiday feel without overspending. Simple adjustments to your existing setup can transform the room into a seasonal retreat. The key is to maximize what you already own and incorporate a few affordable touches. We shared some super affordable Christmas bedroom ideas and decor items as well!
Christmas Bedroom Ideas
Festive Throw Pillow Swap
Replace your everyday throw pillows with Christmas-themed pillows. Embroidered sayings, plaid patterns, or velvet textures are perfect for this!
Garland-Draped Mirror
Wrap greenery garland around a standing mirror or wall mirror for an instant holiday frame. You could add ribbon for an extra touch.
Ornament Bowl Centerpiece
Fill a decorative bowl or tray with ornaments. Place it on your dresser or nightstand for a simple but festive display.
Wreath Above the Bed
Hang a Christmas wreath above your headboard for a clean, classic holiday statement. Choose greenery, frosted, or ornament-covered styles, so it sticks with the Christmas theme.
Christmas Bedding Swap
Switch your regular bedding for a holiday duvet cover or swap your sheets! Pair with matching pillowcases to make the bed the main festive focal point!
Holiday Mantel-Style Headboard
We all love the look of a garland drapped across a mantel. Do the same thing but for your headboard! This is such a fun way to bring out the Christmas spirit.
Ribbon-Tied Curtains
Swap your everyday curtain tiebacks for a wide red ribbon. This is such a simple way to incorporate Christmas colors, and it takes less than 5 minutes!
Hang Stockings on Bedposts
If your bed frame allows it, hang small stockings from the corners or bedposts for a playful holiday accent.
Gift Box Stack
Wrap a few empty boxes in Christmas wrapping paper and stack them in a corner or on a dresser for a decorative, space-filling accent!
Seasonal Bed Tray Display
Place a wooden, metal, or marble tray at the foot of your bed with a mug, holiday candle, and a sprig of greenery for a holiday look.
Pinecone Vase Fillers
Fill your favorite decorative bowl with pinecones for the easiest holiday display. This is such a simple Christmas bedroom decor idea to copy!
Festive Chair Accent
If you have an accent chair in your room, drape a Christmas blanket and pillow to tie it into the season.

Ribbon-Wrapped Closet Doors
Wrap wide ribbon vertically and horizontally across your closet doors to make them look like a giant present. I've seen this done with kitchen cabinets but not closet doors!

Antique Ornament Shadow Box
Display a few vintage glass ornaments in a shallow shadow box or glass cloche on your dresser. It feels like a museum-worthy holiday piece with a vintage touch.
Burgundy & Forest Green Candlesticks
Swap out your current candlesticks with Christmas colored candlesticks. I love the look of brass candlestick holders with burgundy and forest green candlesticks.

Christmas Bedroom Decor
Christmas Bedding Sets
Christmas bedding sets are one of the easiest ways to transform your bedroom into a festive retreat. Whether you choose a classic red, whimsical reindeer prints, or subtle snowflake patterns, holiday bedding instantly sets the tone for the season. Once the holidays are over, you can easily swap back to your everyday bedding for a fresh new year reset.
Holiday Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are a quick, budget-friendly way to sprinkle the Christmas spirit into your bedroom. From embroidered "Merry Christmas" designs to snowflakes, they instantly add warmth and Christmas spirit to your bed. You can mix and match textures like knit and velvet for a cozy look. Even if you keep your bedding neutral, these pillows can do all the decorating! They are also super easy to store in the off season.
Festive Throw Blankets
A Christmas throw blanket is the ultimate finishing touch and probably the most popular item for a Christmas bedroom. Drape a chunky snit blanket over the foot of your bed, or fold a plaid fleexe throw neatly for a pop of color. Not only do they look inviting, but they are also functional for those chilly nights! This is a great alternative if you aren't wanting to swap out your bedding!
Mini Christmas Trees
You can't have a Christmas bedroom without a mini Christmas tree! Mini Christmas trees bring instant holiday cheer to your bedroom without overwhelming the space. They can sit on a nightstand, dresser, or even the floor. Dress them up with mini ornaments, ribbon, and a small tree topper. You could also keep it simple with warm white lights for a minimalist look. They are perfect for smaller rooms where a full size tree isn't practical. The best part is that you can use this artificial tree over and over again!
Seasonal Wall art
Seasonal wall art is an often-overlooked way to add Christmas charm to your bedroom. Swap out your everyday prints for wintery landscapes, holiday quotes, or vintage Christmas illustrations. A quick simple change can make the whole room feel fresh and festive without taking up any extra space.
