You've decked the halls, trimmed the tree, and hung the door wreath. While Christmas bedroom decor ideas aren't required, adding a few festive touches here and there is a lovely way to round out your Christmas decorating schemes.
The term "responsibility" refers to the act of determining whether or not a person is responsible for his or her own actions. A few sparkly baubles or a sprig of greenery tied with ribbon and hung from door handles adds a festive touch, or include small garlands and greenery on landings to connect upstairs and downstairs spaces.
CHRISTMAS BEDROOM DECOR IDEAS
The obvious way to add some festive cheer to your bedroom ideas is to focus on the bed. Simple ideas like trimming headboards with foliage, hanging Christmas stockings, or layering up the bed with plaid blankets and colored eiderdowns are super-easy to do.
If you want to make a bigger change, consider redoing a plain headboard, getting new bedside rugs, or painting the wall behind the bed a festive color.

Switching regular bedding for something more cheery and seasonal is an easy way of updating your Christmas bedroom decor. If holiday prints are too much for you, stick to plain linens in berry red and fir green, paired with ticking, plaids, and leafy prints on pillows and cushions. Put extra woolens and fleeces at the foot of the bed to make it extra toasty.
2. UPDATE THE SPARE ROOM WITH CO-ORDINATING COLORS

Spare bedrooms can often become dumping grounds full of random pieces of furniture and unwanted items. The holiday season is the ideal time to reactivate a dormant spare room so you have extra sleeping space for family and friends.
Mismatched bedroom furniture ideas can be revitalized with a fresh coat of paint in a unifying color to tie the pieces together. For a decorative finishing touch, add a free-hand pattern to a chest or bedside table. To save time and effort, use chalk paint instead of traditional eggshell - it goes on easily and requires little prep time.
Consider painting walls when looking for the best wall decor for bedrooms if your spare room could use a facelift. Using contrast colors makes a bold statement, whereas tonal colors are a more subtle, modern nod to the trend.
3. GIVE BEDROOMS A FESTIVE GLOW

Lighting is the ultimate mood setter, so in bedrooms, replace harsh overhead lighting with a softly layered scheme. Use candlelight to create ambiance, with glass lanterns and twinkly night lights by bedsides and positioned atop chests and mantles.
While bright lights are necessary, layered lighting such as lamps and candles provide the softer lighting your guests require if they wish to return to their room and curl up with a book.
4. KEEP IT SIMPLE

A headboard isn't required to turn your bed into a festive focal point. A single string of warm fairy lights interspersed with hints of subtle greens (both real and faux, in this case) can bring cheer - without interfering with a good night's sleep.
An all-white interior gives the impression that the room is lighter, brighter, and larger; however, layers of texture and tone are required to add depth and comfort during the holiday season. For a softer, more flattering look, use nuanced shades and warm lighting.

While above a bed feels like a natural place for a Christmas wall decor idea like this one, it's an easy way of jollying up big stretches of wall anywhere in the room. Using a simple paper garland allows you the flexibility (quite literally) to get a little creative with frame doorways and windows, or string it up along the top of a wardrobe for a pretty finishing touch.
5. GIVE YOUR BEDROOM WALL A FESTIVE UPDATE

While we appreciate an eye-catching display, going overboard with Christmas wall decor ideas isn't always the best option in a bedroom - they can be a little overstimulating. A simpler, more understated approach is a better bet and tends to look chicer, too.
You can't go wrong with gold stars for a stylish and sophisticated display. Various sizes have been arranged around a beautiful light fitting to make it part of the festive arrangement. This technique can also be used to draw attention to other existing decor or architectural details, such as artwork and shelving, as well as molding, paneling, and fireplace surrounds - clever!
CAN I PUT A CHRISTMAS TREE IN MY BEDROOM?
It all comes down to personal preference. Why not, if you have a large bedroom and the space for a bauble-decked Christmas tree? Consider a faux slimline tree, a corner-shaped tree, or even a hanging tree if space is limited. If not, there are plenty of other Christmas tree ideas to consider, such as wall-hung photo trees, natural twiggy trees, and mini potted trees.
HOW CAN I MAKE MY BEDROOM FEEL CHRISTMASSY?
When it comes to making your bedroom feel Christmassy, color can be a game changer. With the addition of some cheery red cushions, a plaid blanket, or a ticking-striped comforter, plain white bedlinen will look super-festive. Greenery complements berry red beautifully, from simple posies and wreaths hung on the wall to garlands of foliage trimming shelves and surfaces.
Introduce shimmering metallics into your decor for a more serene color scheme. Brushed silver, warm gold and burnished copper and bronze will add sparkle to neutral bedrooms, teamed with faux furs, cozy knits and plush velvets. Then add candles and twinkling fairy lights to make the bedroom look extra magical after dark.
