1. First Things First, Choose Your Christmas Colours
Though the it-girl colours of Christmas are red, green and white, they don’t have to be yours. In fact, there are so many gorgeous Christmas colour combinations to choose from that you might spend hours deciding what this year's theme should be.
From soft pinks and champagne golds to icy blues and silvers, there’s a Christmas palette for almost every kind of girl.
Take a look at these Christmas colour palettes that bring together different shades that work beautifully with one another:
Here’s how to choose your Christmas colours:
Look around your bedroom and take note of the colours you already have.
Choose two or three Christmas colours that complement your existing décor.
Decide on a main colour and use the others for smaller decorative touches.
Stick to your chosen palette when shopping for decorations to keep everything looking put-together.
2. Put Up A Pretty Little Christmas Tree
…Decorated, of course.
A miniature tree right beside your bedside table or windowsill is the exact pop of colour and beauty your room needs. It’s the cutest, girliest festivity to add to your safe haven, aka your bedroom.
And the best part? You won’t have to head downstairs to admire the Christmas tree anymore. You’ll have your very own little winter wonderland to wake up to after every good night’s sleep.
Here’s how to decorate your bedroom Christmas tree:
First, choose where you want your mini tree to go. It could be on your dresser, bedside table, desk, windowsill or even on top of your wardrobe. It’s up to you!
Decide whether you’ll get a traditional green tree, a snowy one or something more extravagant.
Decorate it with small ornaments and baubles that match your Christmas palette.
Don’t forget to add LED lights to pull the entire look together.

3. Give Your Bed A Christmas Makeover
The bed is the main centrepiece of your bedroom, so out of every little touch that can transform your room from bland to glam, being intentional about how your bed looks will probably make the biggest difference.
Imagine stepping through your bedroom door, and there it is, looking like the cosiest winter dream. Every inch of your bed is a delight to look at, with the softest sheets, the cosiest blankets and pretty Christmas cushions all coming into view.
4. Tie Pretty Bows Around Everything
This is such a cute, delicate touch that can make even the blandest-looking furniture a little more interesting and ten times prettier.
It’s a small detail, but it has the power to add so much personality to almost anything, truly making a noticeable difference and giving you that pretty-girl Christmas you’ve been dreaming of.
Here’s how to decorate with Christmas bows:
Buy a roll of velvet, satin or gingham ribbon in your chosen Christmas colours.
Tie oversized bows around your bedposts or drawer handles.
Add smaller bows to mirrors, decorative baskets or storage boxes.
Add ribbons to your mini Christmas tree too!
5. Make Everything Twinkle With Fairy Lights
Come on. You knew this step was coming 😊 And here it is!
You’ve now made your bed and are one step closer to making your bedroom ooze with Christmas magic…but something’s missing.
That sparkle.
Lighting has a funny way of changing how a place makes you feel. Just like a gloomy, rainy day can make you want to curl up under your blankets, a room filled with warm, twinkling lights can make you feel all cosy and Christmassy inside.
So, if you’re after that magical feeling of sitting in your bedroom on a cold December evening, surrounded by the prettiest little lights, here’s how to make it happen.
Here’s how to create that cosy Christmas glow:
Choose warm-white fairy lights for a soft, cosy atmosphere.
Drape them around your headboard or even your bedroom shelves.
Delicately use them to decorate your window, or buy curtain fairy lights for even more twinkle.
Choose LED lights, and please remember to keep them away from bedding and other flammable decorations.
6. Turn Your Vanity Into A Festive Little Corner
Yes, that place where you go to get a makeover now deserves a makeover from you too!
Maybe you have a desk in your room, and that’s actually where you get glammed up. Or maybe it’s simply by your bedroom window, with your makeup products tucked away at the side of the windowsill (P.S. this is me 👀)
Wherever it may be, it’s time to kick things up a notch and transform that little area into the prettiest Christmas corner your bedroom has ever seen.
Here’s how to decorate your vanity:
Remove clutter and make room for pretty decorations.
Arrange everything in a more aesthetic and visually pleasing way.
Purchase the cute stuff. A pretty tray for your perfumes and everyday jewellery, a miniature Christmas tree, a nutcracker, a ceramic gingerbread house or any other pretty Christmas finds.
Add a little garland or fairy lights for that extra festive touch.
7. Make Your Own Adorable Christmas Trinkets
One of the best ways to feel more Christmassy and add a little winter happiness to your room is by making the decorations yourself.
It truly makes everything all the more special, and as they say, it’s the most WoNdErFuL time of the year!
So let’s get creative!
Take out that clay kit and make some miniature Christmas ornaments that represent you and the vibe you’re going for. Add them to your vanity, your beside table, your Christmas tree or anywhere else you please.

8. Hang A Christmas Wreath On Your Bedroom Door
Christmas wreaths are often reserved for the front door of the house, letting the neighbours know that the Christmas spirit has officially arrived!
But why should the front door have all the fun?
Why not let everyone in your household know just how festive you’re feeling without them even having to ask?
A pretty Christmas wreath hanging on your bedroom door is such a lovely way to welcome a little Christmas magic before you’ve even stepped inside.
Here’s how to decorate your bedroom door:
Choose a Christmas wreath that complements your bedroom’s colour palette.
Hang it securely using a removable hook or an over-the-door hanger.
9. Hang Up A Cute Christmas Stocking
Start the Christmas gifts early!
Consider this an early Christmas present from you to yourself.
Honestly, it could just be one big ol’ stocking hanging by the edge of your curtain rod, stuffed with all your favourite candy or handwritten notes.
It’s such a cute way to decorate your room, and you can even make a little tradition out of adding something special to it every December.
Here’s how to style your Christmas stocking:
Choose a stocking that suits your bedroom. It can be knitted, velvet, fluffy or anything you find fit.
Hang it from a sturdy bedpost, shelf hook or wall hook.
Fill it with your favourite wrapped sweets, little beauty treats, handwritten notes or tiny presents to yourself.
10. Swap Your Wall Art For Christmas Prints
You could skip this step, but if you want to add a little extra pizzazz to your room, this one’s for you.
Swapping your everyday wall art for Christmas prints is such a simple way to show that you’ve fully embraced the festive season, right down to the little details.
But at the same time, why not draw or paint your own prints?
That way, it’s inexpensive, personal and something you’ll genuinely treasure for years to come.
Here’s how to give your walls a Christmas makeover:
Find a few Christmas prints that complement your bedroom’s colour palette.
Look for vintage Christmas illustrations, snowy landscapes or pretty festive artwork.
Store your festive artwork safely afterwards so it’s ready for next Christmas!
11. Make Your Bedroom Smell Like Christmas
Not only do I want to smell like a winter Barbie this Christmas season, but I also want my room to give off that same energy.
After all, every princess deserves a castle, and every Barbie doll deserves her dream house.
I deserve for my bedroom to smell like a delicious Christmas bakery, somewhere my nose wants to bury itself every single day.
And I bet you desire this too!
Luckily, I know just how you can achieve it.
Here’s how to make your bedroom smell festive:
Have fun with scented candles, air fresheners, diffusers and room sprays.

12. Start A Little Christmas Keepsake Collection
And finally, why not start collecting something special that you can bring out every Christmas?
It could be the cutest little snow globes, miniature gingerbread houses or even Christmas ornaments that remind you of a particular year.
Imagine looking back at your collection five Christmases from now and remembering all the little stories behind each piece. How sweet would that be?
Here are a few pretty Christmas things you could collect:
Miniature snow globes from different places you’ve visited.
Christmas postcards, photographs or handwritten memories.
Pretty festive mugs that you can display on your shelves.
You don’t have to buy everything at once, either. Start with one little keepsake this Christmas and let your collection grow over the years.
Who knows? It might just become one of your favourite Christmas traditions.
And ta-da! Your room is looking so much more gorgeous already.
