Christmas is quickly approaching and many of us will be shopping for seasonal bedding. What better way to spread Christmas cheer than to decorate your bedroom? Although many of us get excited about the holiday season, many of us suffer from stress and less sleep.

In fact, 88 percent of Americans feel that Christmas is the most stressful time of year. So what can you do to get more rest and relaxation? Do you struggle to sleep during the festive period? 

Creating a cozy Christmas grotto in your bedroom will help you get into the festive spirit and provide somewhere for you to rest your sleepy head. 

Would you like to learn more about decorating your bed for Christmas? Here is everything you need to know about Christmas bed decoration.

Colors for Christmas Bed Decoration

Before you begin decorating your bedroom, you should consider what color scheme you would like to choose. Do you prefer traditional red and gold? Or is contemporary white and blue more to your taste?

The best way to decide is by looking at what you already have at home. Gather all your existing decorations and analyze what their predominant color scheme is. If you have a mixture, try to gather similar colors together.

Try to choose no more than three colors for your bed decoration. Stick with traditional colors such as red and gold or white and silver if you are unsure of where to start. You can jazz up your decorations with one or two accent colors once you are certain of the style you are trying to achieve. 

Some Christmas staple colors that never go out of fashion are:

• Black
• Navy Blue
• Champagne
• Copper
• Bronze
• Gold
• Forest Green
• Natural Wood
• Purple
• Red
• Silver
• White

Team cold colors such as purple and blue with black or white. Royal and navy blue pair well with gold or copper. If you are going to change your colors regularly then try to choose a staple color that will match with various other colors.

Dress the Headboard

You don't have to add much to your headboard to make it feel festive. Adding some tinsel or a fresh garland of foliage will give your bed an instant seasonal makeover. Choosing a natural garland will also give off fresh scents that will soothe you to sleep. 

Fairy lights are an inexpensive and simple way to quickly make your bed feel festive. You can drape them through bunting, hanging signs, or garlands to bring your decorations to life. Make sure that you secure your Christmas decorations properly to avoid getting spooked in the middle of the night!

Christmas Bedding

Once you have chosen a color scheme and decided what style you are going for, you can choose some cozy bedding. The right bedding could improve your sleep quality and freshen up your bedroom decor in time for Christmas. A study conducted by the US National Sleep Foundation found that 73 percent of us get a better night's sleep on fresh sheets.

Why not treat yourself to a new luxury bed set for Christmas? To make sure you are warm during the cold winter nights, you might want to choose thicker, better-quality bedding. Materials such as organic cotton and bamboo are also good choices for a restful night's sleep.

If you are decorating your bed with traditional Christmas decorations then you could use Christmas-themed throw pillows and plaid blankets. All you need is a few layered throws and cozy pillows to create the perfect winter wonderland. If you are unsure of how to layer and dress your bed, you may want to look into the latest trend of 'bedscaping' for more ideas.

Bedside Decorations

You may want to introduce some homely touches to your bedroom decorations in the form of stockings or bunting. These are perfect for adding a festive feel to guests and children's bedrooms. You can even add a few small gifts into their stockings to open on Christmas morning!

If you have bedside tables, you can dress these with a few festive decorations to help set the Christmas mood. Tie ribbons and Christmas decorations around handles for a simple festive touch. You can even use candles to add to the cozy atmosphere.

Accent Pillows and Blankets

Decorative pillows and throws will add the finishing touch to your winter bedding. Too much color can make a room feel chaotic and untidy, so make sure you add occasional splashes of color rather than covering the entire room. To make the room feel cozy, you can add a faux fur blanket or luxury weighted blanket to enhance your sleep quality.

Decorative cushions and pillows are amazing home styling tools. But how many pillows are too many? If you are hoping to achieve a cozy feel in your bedroom then you should layer your pillows with different-sized cushions and bed pillows.
