I only added three things to make my bedroom feel like Christmas! ✨ A few simple touches from Joss & Main made my bedroom feel so cozy for the holidays: a pre-lit garland, a mini Christmas tree and a twinkling wreath. 🤍
I kept my everyday decor and just layered in those three pieces. I love how a little greenery and a soft glow can make a space feel festive without overdoing it. Below I am sharing how I styled each one, plus everything in my bedroom linked under each photo, so just swipe through to shop!
1. A Pre-Lit Garland on My Dresser
The first thing I added was a pre-lit cedar garland across the top of my dresser. I tucked it around my two ceramic vases and let one end spill over the side. The little lights give that whole wall a soft glow at night, and with a candle lit next to it, it is one of my favorite spots in the room.
- Let it drape. Letting one end fall down the side of the dresser looks more natural and relaxed than a garland that sits perfectly straight.
- Layer it in. Tuck the garland behind and around what is already on your dresser, like vases, a lamp or a stack of books, so it feels like part of the room instead of something set on top.
- Skip the cords. If there is no outlet nearby, look for a pre-lit garland with battery-operated lights so there is nothing to hide.
The exact garland from my video is not available right now, so here are similar pre-lit and cedar garlands, plus the candle, vases and art on my dresser:
2. A Mini Christmas Tree in the Corner
Next, I tucked a mini pre-lit tree into the corner between my dresser and the armchair. A small tree is such an easy way to bring that Christmas feeling into a bedroom without giving up floor space, and it adds a little glow at the end of the day.
A potted tree on the floor works great in an empty corner, and a tabletop tree is perfect on a nightstand or dresser if you are short on space. My exact mini tree is not available right now, so I linked similar small pre-lit trees and a few pretty tabletop trees:
3. A Twinkling Wreath Over the Bed
The last thing I added was a twinkling wreath over my bed. I hung it right over the framed art above my headboard and finished it with a simple striped ribbon. The lights twinkle so softly, and it instantly makes the whole room feel festive.
A wreath over the bed is one of my favorite ways to decorate a bedroom for Christmas because it gives the room a focal point without adding anything to the nightstands. My exact wreath is not available right now, so here are similar lit wreaths with that same full, natural look:
Why I Keep Christmas Decor Simple in My Bedroom
I want my bedroom to feel calm all year, so for Christmas I keep my everyday decor and just add a few festive layers. Three pieces of greenery with soft lights are enough to make it feel like the holidays without making the room feel busy.
- Keep your everyday decor. Work around the pillows, lamps and art you already have instead of swapping everything out.
- Give each piece its own spot. A garland on the dresser, a tree in the corner and a wreath over the bed spread the glow around the whole room.
- Stick with warm white lights. Soft, warm lights feel cozy at night and blend with the glow of a lamp or a candle.
- Let the bedding add the warmth. Velvet and linen pillows and a chunky knit blanket at the end of the bed make the room feel wintery without any extra decor.
