Decorating the primary bedroom for Christmas might seem a bit much, but waking up to the glow of the tree feels cozy and festive!
It is a little late in the season to share much more decor inspiration, but I wanted to show you this room because we finally bought a bed frame! We had never owned one in our 12 years of marriage. For years we slept on a metal frame with a DIY headboard. (The nightstands are still my old DIY project.)
Then a few years ago we got two XL twin beds on adjustable bed frames. Ever since, I have been saving up and searching for a bed. Last year I even made a design board for a bedroom makeover. But that bed sold out before I could buy it, and honestly my style has shifted since then. So I am glad I never bought it.

I chose to work with the furniture we already had, which was my husband's before we got married. Then I bought a bed that was less expensive and better suited to our home's style. Yay! I really love it. It sits right around the adjustable bed frames. We did not install the slats that came with it, and it works great! The beds still adjust with no problem.
So it is fun to finally share that new piece with you!
But back to the Christmas decor.
It all started last year when I HAD to have this plaid duvet cover and shams. I was so determined to get the set that I drove 2 hours each way for ONE sham. Nuts, but super fun!
This year I knew I would swap the art above the bed for this gorgeous Petite Pano Pines piece. It is so perfect that I will leave it up until spring. (I will switch the bedding back to my blue set after Christmas, which goes beautifully with it in winter.)
The flocked tree is back again this year, too, although more than half of the lights have burned out. I spent 3 or more hours yesterday trying to fix them and replaced more than 100 bulbs, but they still won't work. It is a pretty cheap tree, so I may just replace it next year or wrap it in extra lights. We will see.
And what a lazy way to decorate: instead of hanging ornaments ON the tree, I just set them in a bowl beside it. Perfect, right?! Ha.
I had this wood bowl in the dining room, but then I spotted a photo on the store website with these mercury glass ornaments and vintage-style mini ornaments (no longer available) in a bowl, and I had to recreate the look at home. I think I will hang the ornaments on a tree next year. For now I love walking past them as they catch the reflections from the tree lights. So adorable!!

It might seem odd to have a Mickey Mouse train set under the tree in the master bedroom, but it is the only spot I had room for, and I did not have a tree skirt. The girls love to come in and play with it, so it works for us! (And I hate not putting it out every Christmas. It was my youngest daughter's main gift, the ONLY thing she wanted, when she was 3.)
Everything else is simply leftover greenery and decorations from my Christmas stash.
As you can see, I still need to add furniture to the sitting area of our bedroom. It is basically an extra workspace left over from the crazy year that was 2020.

Last year I also decorated the girls' bedroom, which you can see in this bedroom Christmas decor post. They have separate rooms now, but the tree is back up in my older daughter's room.
My younger daughter got a smaller tree this year. Their decor basically looks the same as last year, so I did not take new photos. My younger daughter's room has not been touched since we moved into the house, so I will share it when I finally give it a makeover.
For now we enjoy the glow of the Christmas lights in the bedrooms and my plaid bedding on the beds. My advice is to decorate with whatever makes you smile, and this definitely makes me smile.
Do you decorate your bedrooms for Christmas?
