Our plaid Christmas decor bedroom makeover has proven to be our most popular decorated Christmas room on google and pinterest this year, 2021 and today I’m sharing how you can get the look too on a budget! Christmas decor, especially plaid, 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!
I have provided affiliate links for your shopping pleasure. You can scroll to the bottom of this post to see the shopping links for all the items in this room.
This plaid bedroom Christmas makeover started because I found this gorgeous bedding at HomeGoods but wasn’t loving the idea of blue walls. 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.
Red Plaid Christmas Decor Ideas
You may remember the painting over the navy blue project in my old bedroom (at our old house) and painting the room white and this new white paint color (West Highland by Sherwin Williams) couldn’t be a more perfect backdrop for the red and white plaid Christmas bedding.

Christmas Aesthetic
What is your Christmas decorating style or aesthetic? My Christmas decorating style tend to be classic featuring red and white. I love rustic, woodland and gorgeous pops of green. I have been knows to share a full Coastal Christmas home tour as well. I guess it all depends on the style that suits my fancy that year!
Kind of fun right? The snow flakes on the wall are Christmas tree ornaments from HomeGoods. I used double sided tape to adhere them to the wall.
This is an inexpensive way to fill a blank wall during Christmas.
Flat Christmas ornaments can stick to just about any surface ;).
Here is the bedroom with navy walls. You can find this blue medallion bedding by clicking this blue and gold bedroom makeover post.
Plaid Christmas Bedding
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 (The Pottery Barn Red Plaid just became available 2021 here) and finished the look with a variety of pillows. Keep reading, I will provide shopping links at the bottom of the post.
A simple strand of garland paired with two red reindeer complete the look on top of the dresser.
Buffalo Plaid Christmas Bedroom
Buffalo plaid 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 previous years I have used similar Christmas bedding and created the naughty or nice them below. I love those red velour Christmas pillows! You can purchase polka dot sheets and coordinate with a white and red diamond quilt (mine is from 3 seasons ago) to get this look below.

Jeri says
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!
Jessica Bruno says
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!

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!
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.

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!
Jessica Bruno says
Thank you ! The brand is WHite Pine. I know many readers have googled it and found it 🙂
Lauren says
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!

Kay says
Definitely white, very updated look!
Jessica Bruno says
Thank you!!
Kathy says
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. =)
Kristy says
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 🙂
Jessica Bruno says
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).
Angela says
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 🙂
Jessica Bruno says
haha I love that you agree Angela!!! 🙂
Lea Anne says
You have great design style! Love the white!
Lisa white says

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.
