This holiday bedding combo might be one of my favorite cozy bedding combinations yet. It's all Quince: the Organic Cotton Gauze Duvet Set and Bamboo Sheets in Olive, the European Linen Box Quilt in Sand and the Chunky Knit Blanket in Ivory. The pieces from this look are linked below.

My holiday bedding combo in olive and sand

I LOVE layering different textures for that fluffy, lived-in look. The mix of earthy greens, soft neutrals and cozy textures makes our bedroom feel so warm and inviting, and it still reads as Christmas. Olive is the base here: the gauze duvet and bamboo sheets are the same shade, so the bed looks tonal instead of busy.

The layers on top: a sand linen quilt and a chunky knit

The sand linen quilt sits across the bottom of the bed, and the ivory chunky knit goes over it. If you're building this at home, I'd make the bed in olive first, fold the quilt over the lower half, then drape the knit so it falls off one corner. Big linen Euro shams in the back give it height. My full step-by-step is in how I layer a bed.

The Wayfair pieces that make the room

Our upholstered bed, vintage-inspired area rug, raffia and wood nightstands, rustic wood bench and brass wall sconces are all from Wayfair. They're such good timeless furniture pieces, and they work beautifully with any bedding combination, so the bedding can change with the season while the room stays the same. If you want more color ideas for this time of year, I shared my favorites in warm winter bedding colors.

The holiday touches: garland, Norfolk pine and a gold bell

For the holiday part, I kept it simple: pine garland along the headboard, Norfolk pine on the nightstand and a big gold bell at the foot of the bed. That's enough to feel festive without cluttering the bed. The bell I linked is a similar one, not the exact bell in our room. For a bigger Christmas bedroom with wreaths over the bed, see my Christmas bedroom post.
