This is the time of year that brands will pull out all the stops to get you thinking about Christmas early. 

Lets start with my plaid Christmas bedroom a couple years ago. 

What did I do to achieve this look? 

First Step to decorating your bedroom for Christmas 

First,  I painted the walls white. You do not need to go crazy like I did and re-paint the walls BUT I did want more of a neutral backdrop moving forward so it made sense.

If you like to swap out your bedding each season, a neutral “off white wall” color makes it easier to decorate. 

Second, I removed all the existing bedding and used a white sheet set that I already had.

I layered a velour red king size blanket on top of the sheets from the previous years Christmas bedding set so at this point, I re-used stuff I already had. If you do not have a festive red blanket, a gray, navy or even light tan color will work.

Only a small portion will be showing so I wouldn’t worry to much about the color. 

Third, layer a festive Christmas duvet, quilt or comforter set as your wow factor for the room.

These quick 8 Steps will help you accomplish decorating your bedroom for Christmas in no time. If you are overwhelmed with where to start, I suggest removing any clutter or extra furniture from your room that you do not use. Often times, a bedroom can become a “catch all” for unused items and those items are better off in the basement or attic until you have time to donate them.
