Place Decorations Thoughtfully
The footboard is an ideal place to fasten a holiday arrangement—it’s prominent enough to catch the eye, but out of the way enough to stay intact. Magnolia leaves are a southern favorite due to their longevity and glossy beauty—this bundle is also a nod to the elegant magnolia wreath hanging outside the bedroom window.

Create Kid-Friendly Decorations
Kids’ rooms are the perfect place to extend holiday decorations. Be careful to pick resilient trimmings, like the adorable turquoise pom-pom garland affixed to the bunk beds in this kids’ room, and try to keep decorations well out of reach.

Aim High
The green of this elegant eucalyptus garland pops beautifully in an otherwise neutral room. Trying hanging your garland well above the bed, near the room’s crown molding, so that it won’t interfere with your favorite artwork or your precious sleep.

Keep Proportion in Mind
Simple, natural Christmas decorations are the perfect complement to this bedroom’s rustic décor. Here, a lush pine garland frames a statement canopy bed, while a miniature pinecone wreath centered above the bed draws the eye upward, towards the vaulted bedroom ceiling.

Incorporate Surprises
Create traditional holiday decorations with unexpected materials, like these adorable Christmas wreathes decked in soft pom-poms. This allows you to use inexpensive, durable materials (especially in kids’ rooms) and color-coordinate your holiday color scheme with the bedroom’s existing palette.

Aim for Festive Simplicity
If you want to decorate a bedroom for the holidays—but you don’t want to go overboard in a neutral space—affix verdant garlands of greenery along the tops of your windows, across a valance or curtain rod. To create this natural look, use cuttings of greenery from your own yard, using floral wire to bind each garland together.

Design Durable Décor
Kids will love decorating their own miniature Christmas tree. If you don’t have a sturdy tabletop on hand, place the tree in a deep, thick basket on the floor to avoid roughhousing mishaps.

Create Easy Elegance
A layered Christmas wreath in the window—festooned with juniper, bright holly berries, and a color-coordinated silk ribbon—lends this modern bedroom a dose of Christmas charm without detracting from its glamour.

Limit Your Color Scheme
We’re loving the look of this gorgeously refined miniature Christmas tree placed at the end of a dramatic curtained bed. The tree’s ornaments complement the room’s monochromatic cream and purple palette, while the string lights and tinsel add just a hint of glamour to the tailored space.
