The Christmas Bedroom: Part ONE

Tis the Season to be Jolly...  

Yes, you guessed it, I'm in that kind of a mood.

Although in our house, it's always been a tradition to decorate for Christmas 

the Saturday after Thanksgiving, I very much start planning

my holiday decor long before that.

Today, I'm focusing on the Christmas Bedroom...

Many people limit their Christmas decor to the common

areas in their home.  While it makes sense that we focus 

more on the rooms that will be occupied by friends and family

during our holiday entertaining, I like to extend my decor to 

 the "personal" areas that are more intimately shared.

I like to bring Christmas into the bedroom... of course, I 

tend to keep the decor more low key and not as extravagant

as the common areas in our home.  

You can bring Christmas into your bedroom too...

here are some 

simple ideas to transform your bedroom into a winter wonderland

without going over board.

Place white candles in clusters throughout your bedroom...
(I find flameless candles work best and are safer to use in the bedroom)

 String a single strand of white lights on your headboard...you can even attach the

twinkle bulb to your light strand for that real Christmas lights effect...

or...
Use a garland of red berries strung across your headboard
like in the picture below...

Place a few shimmery silver baubles and beads into a bowl, 

and add a candle.  The light will bounce off the shimmery baubles and beads

to create a beautiful glow.

  Attach a pretty satin ribbon to a green Christmas wreath, and

hang it in front of a mirror.  If you use a real pine wreath, the scent 

will give your bedroom a wintery feel...

cozy throws always come in extra handy 
during those chilly winter nights...and they add that holiday touch to your Christmas Bedroom..
Simply "throw" it across the bed, or drape it over a chair... no need to make it perfectly straight.. it will give your bedroom that cozy winter touch...
And don't forget to add LOTS and LOTS of Christmas pillows.

You don't have to go as big as this, 
but go ahead, add a tree to your bedroom... Just imagine 
the glow when you turn off the lights...DREAMY!!!

and finally, invest in some tartan, plaid or Christmasy bedding..

flannel sheets and whimsy Christmas pillows will complete the look 

for your very own Christmas Bedroom...

So there you have it, some simple ideas to transform your bedroom into a Christmas wonderland.

I will be sharing my Christmas Bedroom with you in a few weeks...

Until then,

I hope you have found some inspiration for designing a beautiful Christmas Bedroom of your own.

XX,
