Such a mood will be useful during mass celebrations and sleepless festive nights.
Choosing the colors of the decor, it is necessary to focus on the features of the interior, decoration and furniture in the room.

Beige, gray, white and brown interiors are perfectly “friendly” with all the colors of the rainbow. They can be decorated with toys and decorative elements of any shade, depending on the mood.

How to decorate bedrooms of different styles for Christmas and New Year
Having decided on the color scheme, it’s time to start choosing decor elements, as well as stylistics. Properly selected decorations do not just shine and remind of the holiday, they are a full-fledged continuation of the interior style of the bedroom, harmoniously complement it. Chaotic and unreasonable decoration of the room with the attributes of New Year’s holidays creates a tasteless, garish atmosphere in which it is difficult to stay for a long time.
So, what types of decorative elements to choose:
- Classics are perfectly combined with candles. A variety of glass or plastic balls, delicate lace products and veils, flowers and bows, bells and stars, gilded or silver cones, Christmas beads and ribbons are suitable for a classic bedroom. Decorative pillows tied with lush bows and characteristic Christmas wreaths look great. They are hung at the head of the bed, on the headboard of the bed or on the interior door from the inside.
- Country and Alpine style require natural materials, a real Christmas tree or its replacement – branches of coniferous trees. A particularly warm atmosphere is created by large–knit products – Christmas socks, blankets, table capes. And wicker baskets with New Year’s citrus and other gifts of nature will give the room a special atmosphere.
- Scandinavian style welcomes natural materials and handmade jewelry. Stars and snowflakes can be made from twigs, wood or paper, arrange miniature Christmas trees and live indoor plants. And for the mood, a bright interior can be complemented with a pair of bright accents – a garland or a bedspread, a painted vase.
- Loft style is quite difficult to decorate, as it requires deliberate roughness, exaggerated simplicity. Stars made of tin or metal rods, wooden boxes and Christmas trees cut from plywood, wooden dies – this is the embodiment of a New Year’s interior in the loft style. It can be supplemented with glass aquariums or bottles filled with compositions of cones, toys, nuts and fruits. And fix the illumination and a congratulatory inscription on the wall.
- For fashionable eco-styles, choose the most natural decor. These are draperies made of wool and cotton fabrics, wreaths made of coniferous branches, citrus fruits and apples. Baskets or glass dishes with compositions of tangerines, cranberries, viburnum and mountain ash, cones, holly leaves, cinnamon tubes and other gifts of nature associated with winter are popular.
To create the right atmosphere, figurines of deer, fairy-tale characters, small trees and Christmas trees with and without lighting are actively used. And candles in candlesticks or jars, lanterns create a charming, surprisingly comfortable atmosphere in the evenings.
Christmas lighting in the bedroom
Garlands of lamps or LEDs have long been a familiar attribute of New Year’s holidays. With their help, you can quickly and easily, without large financial costs, create the right atmosphere in the bedroom.
However, it should be remembered that the room is designed for rest and sleep, and therefore follow certain rules:
- Choose non-flashing garland models, or with slow, smooth transitions. Fast running, actively flickering lights irritate and interfere with rest.
- The optimal color scheme is monochrome, light white, yellowish or bluish tones.
- Large lamps are good for loft, country or chalet style.
- Garlands in the form of convolvulus, flower buds or stars are perfectly combined with classical styles, the interior of Provence.
- Miniature LEDs are the best option for minimalism and all modern styles.
- Instead of a real Christmas tree, you can make an imitation of it on the wall, from a garland-thread.
On the bedside tables put dim lanterns-candles, night lights with a characteristic New Year’s design.
Decorative elements made with your own hands help to create an unusual, festive interior in the bedroom for the New Year. These can be:
- snowflakes or stars from improvised materials;
- woven and knitted gizmos;
- products made of ribbons, clay or salted dough;
- voluminous crafts and garlands of flowers made of paper, wood, vines.
