The bedroom is the room you see last at night and first in the morning, so it is the best place for a little Christmas glow. It is also the room where safety matters most: no flames, no hot bulbs and nothing that stays on all night unless you want it to. Here are 8 Christmas bedroom decor ideas, from fairy lights on the headboard to snowflakes on the ceiling, with the power and battery details for each.

1. Fairy lights around the headboard

Firecracker lights are little bursts of warm-white LEDs on a fine silver wire that holds any shape you give it. Run the 6 m string along the top of the headboard, bend a heart above the bed or frame the mirror. The LEDs stay cool to the touch, and the remote changes the mode and the brightness from bed.

2. A photo wall above the bed

Clip this year's photos, Christmas cards and tickets along two or three rows of photo clip lights over the bed. The lights run on a battery box, so you don't need a socket behind the bed, and you can swap the photos whenever you like.

3. A glowing birch on the nightstand

A lighted birch tree gives a soft, warm light that is just right for reading in bed, and it looks like winter rather than only Christmas, so it can stay out until the snow melts. It runs on USB or batteries, and the branches bend into shape.

4. Snowflakes on the ceiling of a kids' room

For a child who can't wait for Christmas, a small projector turns the ceiling into a slow parade of snowflakes, Santas, snowmen and reindeer. It throws a picture from about 1.5 to 5 m away and needs no hooks or ladders. Switch it off once they are asleep, or plug it into a timer socket.

5. Candlelight that switches itself off

Real candles and bedrooms don't mix, but flameless pillar candles give the same flicker with no flame, smoke or dripping wax. Set the timer once and they switch off after 2 to 8 hours, then come on again at the same time the next evening.

6. Let the bedroom window join in

If your bedroom window faces the street, hang smart curtain lights from the curtain rail and let the window wish the neighbours a merry Christmas. Pick a snowman, a reindeer or your own message in the app, and set the timer so the show ends at bedtime.

7. A word in lights on the shelf

Spell JOY, NOEL or LOVE on a shelf or a dresser, or a child's name above their bed. Each marquee letter runs on its own batteries and has an on/off switch, so there are no cables to hide, and the letters stay up for birthdays long after Christmas.

8. A pink Christmas for a teen's room

Pink Christmas is one of the big looks this year. Top a small tree with a blush pink velvet bow and let the long streamers fall through the branches, then hang a handful of mini disco balls to throw sparkles around the room as the lights flicker.

Bedroom lights: safety and practical tips

Choose LED lights: they stay cool, and none of the lights here has a flame.
The firecracker lights, the projector and the curtain lights run on USB; the adapter isn't included. For the projector, use a 5V/2A adapter, not a fast charger.
Battery lights need no socket by the bed: the photo clip lights take 3 × AA, each marquee letter 2 × AA and each pillar candle 3 × AAA, none included.
Keep cables away from the pillow and from where you walk, and hang the mirror-tile disco balls out of reach of small children and pets.
