Now that it's December, I'm nesting for the holidays – that's why I'm upgrading my bedroom with these cozy buys from Pottery Barn
Cuddle up in the winter weather with these festive sheet sets, cozy quilts, and fuzzy blankets − you might even save some money in the Pottery Barn sales
I love a lie-in, especially in the depths of winter. There's something so satisfying about getting all snug in bed, safe from the cold, crisp air outside. Like many of us, I switch out my bedding seasonally, and I like to use the opportunity to decorate my bedroom for the holidays.
You might like to decorate in reds and greens to add a bright burst of color for the holidays. I tend to prefer subtle seasonal accents that blend with the rest of my bedroom decor. I turn to Pottery Barn to bring my holiday bedding ideas to life at a price I can actually afford.
As H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I've been lucky enough to snuggle under some of the world's best comforters and dress the bed with the best bed sheets. I like a blanket as a finishing touch and I've been known to decorate with one, two, or five throw pillows. I'd say that Pottery Barn is one of the best places to buy bedding that looks as good as it feels: the colorways are wide and there are always new patterns and prints in the mix.
12 cozy buys from Pottery Barn to upgrade your bedroom
I can't resist a quick look at the new-ins section, but it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. So, to save you time and money, I've spent hours shopping to bring you 12 cozy buys to upgrade your bedroom for the holidays.
A reversible quilt provides the perfect opportunity to ease yourself into the holiday spirit. Enjoy the patchwork quilt of reds and greens. Peel it back, or flip it over, and your bed is snow white again.
Whether you live in a cold climate or you just like to snuggle up in the winter months, you need the best warm comforter as the foundation of your bedspread. The Cozy Cloud Duvet is plenty puffy.
Bows are the it-decoration this holiday season: Monique Lhuillier's bedding collection is full of them. This quilt wouldn't look out of place on a white bedspread: the bow detailing adds a bit of interest and ties the holiday look together.
If you're working with a neutral bedroom, but you're keen to inject a pop of color, I suggest you start with green. This Arden Tree Blanket is a pine green, not garish, and it would look good against whites, browns, and creams.
Something about the natural, neutral hues and fuzzy texture of the Plaid Woven Blankets reminds me of a ski chalet. It just goes to show you don't have to decorate with Santas and snowmen to get into the spirit of the season.
If you want to decorate for the holidays, but you aren't into red and green, then keep it classic with grays and whites. I can imagine bringing the Let It Snow Blanket into the living room and cuddling up for a holiday movie night.
This is the sort of subtly seasonal print that could work throughout fall and winter and even into the spring. The Ski Run Sheet Set offers the opportunity to play with patterns without disrupting the rest of your decor.
Nothing says Christmas like plaid flannel. I've got a set of festive pajamas that looks just like this. Ease yourself into the festive spirit by layering a flannel flat sheet over a plain fitted one or mix and match flannel and plain pillowcases.
Bows are everywhere this season, so this sheet set is bang on trend. If you're keen to commit to the look, layer these sheets beneath the matching quilt and have a very merry Monique Lhuillier Christmas.
This throw pillow is quintessentially Christmassy. It would look just as good nestled in the arm of a sofa or chair as it would be propped up against your headboard.
If you're keen to upgrade your bed on a budget, I suggest you shop the bedding sales. I spend hours every day monitoring prices across the Internet, from Cozy Earth comforters to Sijo sheet sets, and I've spotted deep discounts in the pre-Christmas sales.
