When it's time to deck the halls, don't forget to transform your children's spaces into fun winter wonderlands that spark their imagination. Little ones' eyes light up when they're tucked up on the sofa watching a classic Christmas movie, so keep that feeling alive by waving your interior design wand and sprinkling some magic across their bedroom and playroom. With charming festive décor, you can inspire and delight, adding an extra layer of fun to the classic festive bedding and sleepwear.

The best decorating ideas are creative offerings that encourage your child to play and learn. There's no need to transform their playroom into a grotto; with our fun and easy ideas for decorating your children's spaces this season, you'll find adorable design touches ready to spread Holiday cheer.

Jolly Holiday bookshelves

Nothing immerses a child more in the Christmas spirit than snuggling up on your lap to share a festive story. Adorn your bookshelf with warm white twinkle lights, then simply add a festive theme to each shelf. Pick out their favourite wintery books and style them with cute snowmen and polar bear tree ornaments or stuffed toys. Or how about some candy canes and an elf on the shelf next to your books about Santa?

Lay down a new white fluffy throw and accent pillows, entice a Nordic-inspired or Christmas motif blanket and you've created a delightful reading nook to enjoy your festive fiction.

Gather around the Christmas tree  

What little one wouldn't love having their own Christmas tree in their bedroom or playroom? Pick the perfect size of an artificial tree and set it in a pretty golden tree collar.

When it comes to decorating the tree, embrace the vivaciousness of youth, allowing the tree to sparkle with a mismatch of metal and sparkly ornaments, cute animal characters, and red and green traditional baubles. Don't forget to have some fun with your twinkle snake light timer – allowing the tree to illuminate as if by magic.

Build a Christmas village

Using their playsets and doll houses, curate an enchanting Christmas village that breathes new life into their existing toys. Add snow to the roofs with soft white fabric or cotton wadding and drape cool white twinkle lights above the scene to create an icy ambience. 

Illuminate ceramic houses with battery-powered candles to create a glowing miniature village. Accentuate with bottle brush trees, nutcrackers, and festive ornament figures, allowing little hands to play, rearrange, and become totally captivated by their creation.

For the finishing touches, why not hang a wreath and jingle bells on their door handle and stocking on their bed? If they have an outdoor playhouse, give it a makeover with a festive doormat and icicle lights hanging from the eaves and window ledges. Each idea can be augmented with fun crafts and story writing, or simply allow your little ones to play their way through this season.
