Traditional red and green

Lean into tradition with some festive red and green decorations to instantly transform your bedroom.

There’s a reason red and green are the staple colour combo for the Christmas season. Just look how we’ve styled the cosy Margot bed below if you need any proof – warm, cosy and oh-so classy. Plus, it’s super easy to do. Simply invest in some red and green accessories like throws, blankets and cushions (bonus points if they’re tartan) and your house will be looking like a scene out of Home Alone in no time.

Need a helping hand with your colours? We’ve got handy guides on everything from green bedroom ideas to how to incorporate red in the bedroom.

Regal jewel tones

For a contemporary take on Christmas cheer, add a splash of dark mystery with opulent jewel hues.

For those amongst us who prefer to steer clear of traditional red and green, choosing darker tones of navy and green will give you a refined finish with plenty of festive spirit. Classic blue pairs exceptionally well with icy white, whilst touches of green foliage add a soft natural look, particularly when bathed in the gentle glow of lamplight.

We simply adore our navy velvet-finish Jay bed styled with pops of gold, green and earthy brown accents. Plus, its discreet under-bed storage is the perfect place to stash your Christmas presents before the big day, too!

Pops of greenery

One way to get into the Christmas spirit is by giving your bedroom a winter woodland makeover.

This is the ideal way to keep your bedroom understated, whilst still festive. Think forest-inspired green blankets, throws and fluffy cushions on your bed – the more, the merrier. When it comes to decorating, a few handmade garlands can go a long way. Just look how we’ve styled our beautiful Jenkins bed below with green garlands along the window sills and wooden beams, complete with a light-up wreath above the bed. Jingle all the way!

Just a couple of yuletide pieces can really transform your retreat into a homely and cosy one. Making homemade Christmas decorations is also a great activity for families with young children, particularly on chilly evenings by the fire.

Winter wonderland

The white painted wooden frame of our Northwood bed is ideal for an all-white winter wonderland theme.

Here, we’ve styled it with crisp white bedding for a cosy Christmas feel and made a statement with a starry garland, hung across the headboard. From the white Christmas tree and baubles to the candles and ornament stars, the white and metallic colours tie this look together for the perfect winter extravaganza.

Layers of texture, with soft carpet and fluffy rugs that almost look like a snowy blanket, create a cosy space that even Santa would be envious of. Just be careful not to spill your hot chocolate…
