I can think of at least a couple reasons to decorate my WHOLE HOUSE for the holidays:

1. I want to create a TOTAL fun/cozy/sweet/memorable holiday experience for family and friends.

2. It takes days to get all those boxes of decorations out of the attic, and by golly I’m gonna use it all!

As for #2, I’m only partly kidding.  But #1, now, THAT warms my heart–and keeps me placing and rearranging decorations far into the night.

I especially love decorating bedrooms for Christmas! Why let the public rooms have all the holiday fun? Today I’m sharing tips to bring holiday spirit right on into your bedrooms.

First Tip: Bedding Additions

To infuse my bedroom with Christmas cheer, I simply added red seasonal pillows and a cozy red throw to my neutral bedding. (The whimsical garland and mistletoe sprig, plus a trio of potted baby pine trees on the headboard, completed my easy conversion to winter style.) And remember, you don’t have to use red or green: holiday pillows are available in every pattern and hue (blue! pink! sparkle and metallic!) so you’re sure to find just right jolly accents to match your bedroom’s decor.

Second Tip: Christmas Trees and Greenery

No matter what your bedroom design style is, the addition of decorated trees and/or garlands instantly transforms it to Christmas Style. I like to put a tree or two in every room of the house! A tabletop tree that the kids can decorate as they please is a sweet touch in children’s rooms. There’s space for a slim profile tree in just about any size bedroom. For the finishing touch, hang an evergreen swag or garland over a headboard or window.

Third Tip: Feature Your Collections

Those Christmas collections: let them spill over into your bedrooms as you decorate for the holidays. (I know I have enough red plaid picnic pieces, vintage Santas and putz houses to create Christmas vignettes in every room!) Remember, when you cluster your collectibles in groupings it makes more of a statement than when they are scattered around a room, and really draws attention to them too.

Steal my ideas! Simple additions like holiday pillows and throws, decorated trees and Christmas collections can transform your bedroom from ho-hum to HO HO and ready for the holidays!

Bonus Tip: Stock up on Stockings

Don’t relegate stockings to the mantel only–use them in your bedroom, too. Hang from a nightstand or shelf! If you tend to collect Christmas stockings because you just can’t resist a cute new design, this is a great way to be able to display more than one set.
