My Plaid Christmas Decor Ideas Around The Home

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our disclosure here.

Today I am sharing my plaid Christmas decor ideas around the home plus a bedroom makeover which is our most popular decorated Christmas room on google and pinterest this year.  Buffalo plaid  Christmas decor, especially red buffalo, is versatile and can be used in any room in your home. Plaid throw pillows, quilts and Christmas ornaments are my favorite go-to Christmas decor items!

If you see something you like, you can scroll to the bottom of this post to see the shopping links for all the items in this room. If the exact item is not available, I’ve listed a similar one to get the look. 

Plaid Christmas Bedroom 

I love a plaid Christmas bedroom! This bedroom makeover started because I found a gorgeous Christmas plaid bedding set at HomeGoods but wasn’t loving how it looked with the blue walls in the bedroom. So instead of being a normal person and finding bedding that would work with my existing wall color, I decided to paint the walls white so I could get this bedding! 

Dear Santa I Really Tried

Painting this bedroom white (the color is West Highland by Sherwin Williams) was a little time consuming but the best decision ever! Click here to see the bedroom before with blue walls. I love how the white paint looks with the red and white plaid bedding.

Christmas Bedroom Aesthetic 

What is your Christmas decorating style or aesthetic? My Christmas decorating style tends to be classic featuring red and white. I love rustic, woodland and gorgeous pops of green. Although I have been known to share a full Coastal Christmas home tour as well (see our Christmas coastal dining room here). I guess it all depends on the style that suits my fancy that year! 

Farmhouse Christmas bedding is also very popular featuring plaid fabrics and plaid decorations.

This red and plaid bedroom is kind of fun right? The gold snowflakes below on the wall are Christmas tree ornaments that I stuck to the wall with 3M double sided tape. You can find the ornaments here on Amazon as well as the  double sided mounting tape.

Adding flat Christmas ornaments to the wall with mounting tape is an inexpensive way to fill a blank wall in your home during Christmas. You can also hang a holiday wreath (like this one with a plaid bow) to a wall like I did above the bed.

Isn’t it amazing what white paint can do for a bedroom?

I created the bedding layers by using a red velour blanket, ruffled white duvet, a red and white plaid quilt with plaid sheets. I finished the look with a variety of pillows. Keep reading, I will provide shopping links and more design ideas at the bottom of the post.

Christmas Decorations + Bedroom Ideas

Here are some Christmas decoration bedroom ideas that you can make yourself. Filling jar lamps with red ornaments, making wreaths to hang on the wall and adding faux or real greenery on tabletops in the bedroom are easy inexpensive ways to decorate a bedroom for Christmas.

Buffalo plaid or check Christmas decor is another favorite pattern that I love especially for bedding. There are many different types of plaid Christmas themes, Red and white along with buffalo plaid are my favorites!

In past years I have used similar Christmas bedding and created the naughty or nice them below. I love the red velour Christmas pillows! You can shop these polka dot sheets here and coordinate with a white and red diamond quilt (mine is from 3 seasons ago) to get this look below. Plaid Christmas Bedroom / Featuring white walls, Red Plaid Bedding and a full spruce Christmas tree

  10. Can you tell me what shade of white you used? There are so many.
    Thanks

  11. Wow, and wow, I want these two gorgeous bedrooms. What a fabulous job! Kudos to you…

  12. I love the transformation; the white with the plaid is lovely! I so admire you, as I spent over an hour at Sherwin-Williams deciding on the perfect white for my bedroom (who knew there were soo many shades of white?) We recently moved, and the bedroom I will be painting was professionally painted the colors of the German flag! So, I will be painting over RED walls that have a stripe of black and a stripe of deep gold! Although the paint has primer in it, I am first applying a coat of primer. Your post was just what I needed to motivate me, as this is our Black Friday project, and I am dreading it! Thank you, Jessica, and happy holidays to all of you!

    1. Hi Jeri! Thank you! This is PURE WHITE by SHerwin-Williams 🙂 Good luck with your project and you will be so happy once it’s done! Happy Thanksgiving!

  13. Love the plaid bedroom. Where can that comforter be purchased?

  15. Kathy over in North Attleboro says:

    Loved the blue, but change is ALWAYS good! The white is crisp and clean and will be super fun come spring as you change things up once again. I may do a trio of wreaths over my king bed! And kudos to your cutie pie husband! I’m sure if you took his picture he has some clue where that picture may end up! 😉 Enjoy your little refuge from the world! Its lovely!

  16. Juanita in OH says:

    Oh my goodness! Jessica you have outdone yourself. This room is magical just like Christmas. I LOVE the plaid room because it is so Christmasy and joyful. Your Hubby looks so comfortable. I have one of the naughty guys too. You did a magnificent job…I think you would be an excellent person to do staging. TFS the beauty.

    1. Aww thanks Juanita! I appreciate your sweet comment! THat is funny you have a naughty guy too. lol. Have a great night 🙂

  17. Charlotte M says:

    I love the plaid bedding and the room looks super duper cozy! I know you said you got the bedding from Home Goods but do you know who makes the bedding? Every store is different and this is probably the best plaid I’ve seen this season. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thank you ! The brand is WHite Pine. I know many readers have googled it and found it 🙂

      1. I’ve been searching for this bedding! Could you ask your readers if one could share the link where they found it?
        The room looks so awesome!

        1. The brand is White Pine. I know one reader googled plaid White Pine Bedding and found it 🙂 I will see if any of them respond though!

  18. Your bedroom looks amaaazing! Although I love both rooms, I have to say the plaid one takes the cake! ooh la lah

  19. Definitely white, very updated look!

  20. Love the white & red plaid….so festive but not necessarily “Christmassy.” I’ve been wanting some bedding like this & now I know where to find it. =)

  21. Hi Jessica, I love the ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’ sign above your bed! Is that something you made? I tried the link you provided but it lead to a different sign. It would be perfect for our entryway so I would love to purchase one 🙂

    1. Thank you! No I bought the sign from Nordstrom and it looks like it’s sold out (the link I provided isn’t working and says sold out :(..) Here is a similar one from Wayfair 🙂 http://rstyle.me/n/b8huvexqin (affiliate link).

  22. I disagree with your husband, This is EXACTLY what any normal, sane person would do. Paint the walls to match the bedding!! I know I would! If I found such awesome bedding 🙂

  23. You have great design style! Love the white!

  24. Lisa white says:

    Hi Jessica ! I am desperate to find the plaid bedding and have failed at home goods and googling white pine . Do you know where it can be found?
    Thx Lisa

    1. I don’t but I just emailed a reader who left a comment on my facebook fan page that she found it!!! Hopefully she gets back to me 🙂 This bedding has generated so many people wanting it! Your are like the 20th person who has emailed me. Fingers crossed!

    2. Hi, the other reader said she ordered it online at TJMAXX.com but it looks like it’s sold out 🙁

  25. Brooke Barrere says:

    I LOVE this bedroom!!!! Do you know who made the bedding?

  26. Was wondering where you got the bedding in the first picture? I love it

  27. I’d love to know the maker and pattern of the bedding in the before picture. I love the plaid also, but I’ve been searching for non holiday options!

    1. Thanks in advance for the info ????

  28. Hey Jessica, I wanted to let you know that I searched high and low for your 2016 plaid comforter. I found it! They have it right now at Pottery Barn Kids in queen size. Hooray!! I got mine before I posted this ????

  29. Debra kurtz says:

    Love your style of decorating.

  30. Your bedroom looks amazing and so inviting!! 🙂

  31. So cozy and cute! I would love to sleep in that room.

  32. I am obsessed with the plaid Christmas bedding! Can you tell me where I can purchase it?

      1. I found this bedding on amazon under the name max studio I bought the last king I think for more than than she paid it bet, but oh well. they have full/queen on amazon and also found queen on eBay and the Merry Christmas pillow I found on Sierra Trading Post .I love the look .Hope this helps anyone happy holidays

  33. Since Home Goods never has the same merchandise ever, can you please tell us the manufacturer of the Plaid bedding you bought there last season? It really is a show stopper.
