1. Pick a Color Scheme for Your Christmas Décor

We love the traditional colors associated with Christmas but change is good every now and then. You can pick almost any hues to decorate your room for the holiday season. Analyze what colors would go perfectly with the already done color scheme of your room. Take inspiration for your Christmas décor color scheme from around you and then harmonize it with the color scheme of the already placed room furnishings.

A white Christmas is always a brilliant idea. And the best part is that you can infuse it with any pop of color you like, for example, red or maybe even a hint of fuchsia! Whichever color or color scheme you pick, just make sure that you bring balance and consistency to the whole décor. Use the holiday gift wrap in harmony with your chosen color scheme for the décor. And if you have a favorite childhood Christmas memory, you can pick the color that would enhance that happy memory! 

Pro-Tip: Once you pick out a color scheme, make sure to use it across all the rooms of the house. This coordination will make the whole décor look more professionally done and your guests will be in awe!

2. Adding Candles to Your Room is Always a Good Idea

Just scatter candles everywhere! Yes, you read it right. Achieve the cozy, festive glow in your room by simply placing clusters of candles in the corners. Candles add so much to the festive look that it has become one of the top go-to holiday décor tips. Assorted pillar candles by the fireplace or next to the standing mirror in your room will look great. Pillar candles, as the name suggests, are tall and very long-lasting candles that come in different sizes and thicknesses. The best part about pillar candles is that they don’t melt into wax puddles, saving you from the trouble of cleaning up the mess. 

For obvious reasons, we recommend LED candles. After all, you don’t want the stress of leaving burning candles in your house weighing on your mind. And if you have small kids at home, you should always opt for LED candles instead of the actual flame ones.

To take it up a notch, consider decorating the candles. And how can you do that? It’s pretty simple since there are a couple of ways to go about it. One way of decorating an ivory candle would be taking some leaves and tying them up at the bottom of the candle with a jute string. Or you can simply take small pine cones and tie them up to the candles using the jute thread. 

3. Take Those Christmas Sheets and Warm Comforters Out

Swap your regular bedding with the classic holiday bedding this season. Add that pop of red in your room by switching to the festive bedding in a classic plaid red, green and white pattern or a chic stag/reindeer print sheet. You may find plenty of options at your favorite local home décor stores this season. Pick the design according to your mood. Doesn’t have to be red necessarily. You can also choose print if you like having a white Christmas. 

And here is a useful tip for you; if you are planning to buy new Christmas bedding, make sure you get beautifully natural and breathable cotton for a soft and comfortable night’s sleep. Decorating does not mean compromising on comfort! Just match the color of the throw on the bed with the stockings that you plan to hang near the fireplace and you are good to go. 

Remember, decorating for the holiday season should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience, not a stressful one.

4. Place a Small Tree in The Corner of Your Room Near That Big Window

Your living room doesn’t have to be the only place that deserves a Christmas tree. And your bedroom tree doesn’t necessarily have to be all decked up like the living room one. One way of decorating it is to keep it minimal. But before placing a Christmas tree in your room, check a few points to make sure that your hard work is not entirely wasted! 

We all love the idea of having a grand Christmas tree but first, consider the size of your room. Choosing the right tree size for your home or apartment will save you from having to move the furniture around just to fit the tree in. Another tip is to analyze and find the focal point of your room and then place the tree in that space. In short, plan ahead before placing the tree in your room so that it becomes a thing of joy rather than a hindrance you keep bumping into!

5. Hang a Garland Near the Fireplace

Make your mantel the center of attraction by placing a Christmas garland on it. Christmas garlands are a great and simple way to get a festive look in your home. Even if you don’t have time to decorate the whole house, you can achieve a lot by simply placing a heavy, light-infused garland in your room or house. Garlands are available in a vast variety of designs including artificial flowers, leaves, ornaments, or glittering lights. You can also get the garland made in fresh pine tree leaves since real plants add more life to the look of your room. 

If you don’t have a fireplace in your room, you can perfectly decorate your window sill with these garlands. Another way of going about it is to drape the garland along the headboard of your bed, that is if you have one. If you are a minimalist, you can opt for a faux fir needle garland, infused with micro twinkling lights. 

Bonus Tip: Spray a little pine tree scent on your garland for your room to smell like one! If white Christmas is your theme, then you can go for frosted bush tree garland. Sharing one golden rule of the garland: always let the garland drape on the floor on both sides. For that, you will have to measure the complete size (accurate width and height) of the mantel before getting or making a garland. 

6. A lighted Pine Wreath on The Wall Behind Your Bed Adds Tons to The Holiday Spirit in Any Room

What’s a Christmas décor without a Christmas wreath? Simply incomplete! Go for DIY (do-it-yourself) ideas for a more personalized wreath. Make a wreath with brilliant food-based ideas like making the wreath completely with Christmassy food. What can you use? Variety is the name of the game. Gingerbread cookies or dried-up oranges will have a great outlook and not to mention the tantalizing Christmassy fragrance it will have! Or if you have a flair for the vintage stuff then you can simply make a wreath out of old-fashioned Christmas ornaments which can be looked for in the local flea markets. You can place the wreath on your bedroom door or you can simply hang it on the wall behind your bed in addition to signage with a Christmas quote. You can simply hang your wreath on your window if you plan on placing your garland on your bed headboard.

This selection of beautiful Christmas wreaths is a must-have if you’re in the market for some this year.

7. Upgrade Your Dresser Settings by Adding Nutcracker Figurines

8. Hang Fairy Lights Garland to Bring the Festive Oomph to Your Room

Twinkle or fairy lights can bring on the festive element in a snap. If you have a canopy-style bed, you can place them over the canopy. As it goes with ornament, these twinkle lights also come in different shapes and sizes. You can also double up on the combination by using the regular classic white twinkle lights with the larger round café lights. This will add to more brightness and bring in a more festive look to the room. So make your room or your relaxing space glow beautifully by adding just a simple string of twinkle lights. So easy to install and even easier to turn off and on, these lights should be your must-have Christmas decoration.

Pro Tip: Don’t keep the setting of the twinkle lights to “blinking” as it can get to the head after a while.

9. Use Traditional Spices Essential Oils and Fragrances for The Room

There are a lot of different elements without which it doesn’t feel like the Christmas celebration is complete. The sights, the sounds, and surely the smells. And baking shouldn’t be the only way to spread the Christmas spice fragrance around the whole house. You can use the scent of traditional Christmas spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for the glorious holiday feels. Also, you can use the dried spices hanging décor on the Christmas tree. There are plenty of fragrant Christmas candles available in the market. Invest in them and light one of those for the room to smell like Christmas!

Or better yet, use a blend of essential oils in the humidifier for the soothing holiday feels in the air. You can also change your liquid soap to the one that smells of your favorite Christmas fragrance. May it be of cinnamon or vanilla and pine or just something simple like peppermint liquid soap would pay off. Infuse your shower with the Christmas fragrance. How? Simply hang a tiny bundle of dried spices over the showerhead and let them soak up some steam to work their magic!

10. Make a Selection of The Best Christmas Movies to Play
