Early November is finally here and for some reason, a part of me is already feeling that holiday cheer. Usually right after Halloween, there’s this quiet unspoken secret that everyone is on the same page with to begin preparing for the holiday season. I, for one, definitely got the memo and have been starting to do things very slowly this year.

Since I spend a lot of time at home after work, I wanted to work on changing up my bedroom to welcome the new season. From getting up early to getting ready for work and watching a few episodes cozying up, I really want to try to put more of an effort with my space this year!

What I Got for this Holiday Season

This year, I wanted to choose a versatile, neutral green color that would take me to the early next year. It will give me room to interchange my decor pillows and maybe my throw blankets. I LOVE a good cute pillow— or even a teddy bear — to put in the middle of my pillows. The other thing I was very determined to find was something that was soft because I don’t know if it’s a sensory thing, but feeling something delicate comforts my mood.

I happened to stumble in HomeGoods— which is one of my favorite stores to shop at — and found a lot of good finds this year. Below, I will be sharing what I got and how I ended up decorating my bed. Plus, I also wanted to share some similar options I found online while I window-shopped!

As I hinted above, the color I chose for this Christmas season is green and I found the perfect comforter set! The brand is Laura Ashley, and they feature many beautiful prints to use year round. The texture is velvet and it feels super soft, making it very ideal for those days I want to snuggle up and watch a show on Amazon Prime or Netflix.

Plus, the color itself pairs really nicely with my black Victorian rails, which I will be wrapping some frasier garland on! This pattern will be perfect for even after the holidays and I can totally see myself using it again in the spring.

Before I got these, the sheets I’ve been using have been a cute, blue gingham set that had ruffles on everything! It was a four piece sheet set and it made my bed (and myself) feel extra girly. Since that seems to be something I’m into right now, I learned that ruffles are my personal touch now.

The Holiday Bedding Edit

Even though I was looking for my own bedding, I did come across several other options of different styles that I considered for myself and thought might be great for you! They are all very affordable, made of good material, and a total bargain —checking off all the things I take into consideration when choosing a good comforter or duvet. 

1. The 5-Piece Neutral Bed-in-a-Bag Comforter Set

When I got my comforter set from Homegoods, I realized how good of a deal a bundle can be! Finding a good set that can give you at least five pieces can transform your bed much easier, especially when it includes everything from the pillowcases all the way to the fitted sheets. This one I found on Amazon was absolutely beautiful yet simple for anyone who wishes to decorate with throws or decor shams.

2. The 7-Piece Solid Color Comforter Set

My set was $75 and it was only a three piece set. To be honest, it was still absolutely worth it because it’s reversible, features a limited design, and lets me get two looks out of one comforter. However, I found a similar option on Amazon I would have bought if the one I got was sold out—and mind you, it comes with seven pieces!  Plus, since it’s another solid bedding option, this would be a great backdrop for themed holiday pillows too!

3. The 3-Piece Everyday Neutral Comforter Set

Now, I also found an option for anyone who has sheets they already love using or brand new ones and just want to get a comforter set with fewer pieces. This one comes with three pieces in versatile, universal colors, making it another good neutral option. I know this would be especially perfect for anyone who already has festive or printed pattern holiday sheets they want to pair it with!

4. The Classic Holiday Plaid Flannel Comforter Set

For the last comforter option I found, I thought it was best to find a cute, classic holiday plaid flannel comforter set. It’s so cute  and I think it’s perfect if you want to have that traditional, festive Christmas feel in your bedroom. Since the plaid would be the main showstopper, there’s many ways to decorate this bedding set.

The Duvet Covers Sets

5. The Versatile Holiday-Toned Duvet Cover Set

The last time I redid my bed, I got a duvet insert and wanted to try out a cover set for the first time. Even though I’m putting my duvet away for the season now that I have my new bedding sets, using my duvet was so easy and versatile. When I either was using it alone or interchanging sheets, it really did do the job! If you already own a duvet insert, then this is a good option with holiday themed color options. If you don’t have one, here’s a good option you can choose here!

6. The Breathable Waffle-Knit All-Season Duvet Cover

I love a beautiful waffle knit, even if it’s just a throw blanket! I got a waffle knit throw from Amazon myself a few months back. It’s mainly used as a decorative layer at the end of my bed. What I really like about waffle duvet is that it immediately reminds me of winter for some reason! Plus, it’s an all season fabric, which means it’s breathable and adapts to the season. This set is perfect for the holiday season and I know anyone could style it so cutely!

7. The Ruffled Gingham Duvet Cover Set

If you noticed the theme, I love a good gingham pattern, haha! This option is if you want the gingham to be the main print for your holiday bedding. Like I mentioned above, when I had my blue gingham duvet, I felt so coastal and it lightened the room for the summer. I’m definitely keeping this bookmarked for when I get my sheets for future seasons because the colors are so nice—and  the ruffles are my favorite touch, of course.

The Sheet Sets

8. Laura Ashley Holiday Cranberry Flannel Sheets

I’ve been a huge fan of Laura Ashley for a long time and zero complaints from anything I’ve gotten from them! Their bedding was actually my first “adult” purchase. When I bought my own bedding for the first time, and their products are made with the best quality. That means that pretty anything you find is 100% cotton! Pricing from anywhere from $30 to $60, I would definitely consider these a steal!

They did have cute holiday sheets I’m currently holding myself back from buying because I absolutely adore the cranberries pattern. It would pair really well with some cute red bedding or even be a pop of color to either cream or green. The set in particular comes with up to four pieces depending on the size. With an all-in-one bundle, the only other thing you’d need is the main blanket you sleep under!

9. The 4-Piece Washed Cotton Gingham Sheet Set

If you prefer something simpler that’ll pair with anything, this four-piece gingham sheet set would be perfect! It’s 100% washed cotton and gets soft when you use a good fabric softener, keeping it super comfortable to sleep on. This is the exact brand I bought my ruffle sheet set from, and they have an amazing array of colors for the holiday season. Whether you choose to pair a solid color or find a cute festive print, you could totally create the cutest bedding theme ever with these.

 It had to be put on this list because while I was battling what theme I wanted, I almost picked these sheets again but in a different color! Simply because I already know exactly how the quality felt along with everything included for the price!

The Softest Throw Blankets for Layering & Snuggling

10. The Plaid Chenile Throw Blanket

Throws are something that has been in my family for as long as I could remember. My grandma would even crochet some beautiful blankets to drape over the top of the couch. Because that was such a warm part of my childhood, I began to start having throws on my bed, too! This one is the closest one I currently own. Mine is gray, but this listing has tons of colors if you want to match with any of the bedding I shared above! 

11. The Green Holiday Throw Blanket

Since I work in retail, I get to experience all kinds of fabrics and items I never knew about before! This chenille throw looks similar to one we carry at my job, and when I tell you it’s so soft— it’s oddly soothing to the touch- What makes this even better is that it comes in both neutral colors and festive holiday patterns. You won’t regret getting this to decorate your bed, or  even to snuggle under as an extra layer while you sleep.

12. The All-Season Cozy Bubble Throw Blanket

Last but not least, I found a cute bubble blanket that I’m planning on getting for myself! I’ve seen some adorable bedding combination ideas with this type of throw. And it’s perfect even for the holidays! With all the colors you can choose with this one, this throw could carry you through every season and worth investing in.  

Tis the Season and Holiday Bedding

I really do hope that this post got you excited to refresh your bedding! Plus with the many options I curated here, I’m sure that there’s so many possibilities that can be made for sure!
