Position Your Bed Close to a Window
This Maine home may be just 10 feet wide (!), but its owners managed to keep things feeling cozy—not claustrophobic—by positioning this guest room bed close to a small window. That way, they're able to capitalize on the beautiful, comforting sounds of nature and "include" the scenery in the room.
Take Cues From Other Cozy Places—Like Treehouses
Believe it or not, this home actually is a treehouse! But you don't have to head outside to make some cozy magic happen indoors: Simply take cues from those other spaces with comfortable appeal. (That pillow, for instance, is made of "bark cloth.")
Treat Your Bedroom Like a Cocoon
Designer Ashley says this space has a "cocoon-like vibe," and we'd have to agree. So, how'd she do it? A variety of comfy fabric textures, as well as an upholstered bed and dark wooden bureau, make the master bedroom of this Alabama cabin feel warm and homey.
Use Calming Colors
Soft greens, muted browns, and a splash of wicker helps keep this Alabama lake house feeling serene and comfy-cozy. There's a reason this very same color scheme is so popular at spas!
Add Gingham Pillows for a Splash of Country Charm
A hand-woven rug and large headboard are certainly the focal points in this charming room, but it's the plaid pillow that really caught our eye. Not only is it a cozy reminder of the country-chic style we know and love, but it's also just plain cute in its own right.
Work in Shades of Red
Warm up your bedroom with rich red toned decor. Here, a red quilt and throw pillows in various patterns feel right at home next to a crimson-painted nightstand and ruby-striped rug.
Layer with Seasonal Accessories
The owner of this Connecticut cottage gave her guest bedroom some fall flair by layering in some autumnal accessories—namely an orange plaid throw blanket and a jar full of mini pumpkins.
Go Vintage
The owners of this converted barn were so inspired by the look of Pendleton's classic color scheme, they designed this sleeping space around it. The brand's iconic green, red, yellow, and gray stripes look right at home next to wood panels and plaid accessories.
Embrace Autumn with Warm Hues
Transform the look of your bedroom in seconds with the addition of a seasonal blanket, layered on top of neutral bedding. Orange and red tartans scream fall, while pastel florals are perfect for spring.
Create an Open Space
The bedroom in this converted barn feels lofty and comfortable thanks to the high ceilings, shiplap covered walls, and plank floors. The white paint used throughout makes this room feel like you're sleeping in a comfy cloud.
Feature Light Hues
Use soft and subtle patterns in a variety of colors to create a warm and relaxing space. The homeowner of this Texas bungalow cut down on costs by covering an antique chair in a linen slip cover and fashioned a bedskirt from leftover curtains.
Keep It Soft
The toughness of the iron bed is balanced by the linen upholstery on the headboard and footboard. And the raw-wood chest and floral drapes ensure there's a sense of farm charm in this modern Mississippi barndominium.
Add Prints Throughout
Yep, it's a whole lotta block print, but the varying scales and crisp palette keep it feeling serene, not slapdash.
Let the Ceiling Slope
The way that this California bedroom's white shiplap walls slope inward while maintaining a space above the bed adds dimension and extra coziness. The laser-cut lantern throws soft shadows on the walls at night, adding to the effect.
Mix and Match Colorful Patterns
Beautifully bright quilts, floral wallpaper, and even the lampshade add to this room's charming, cozy aesthetic, which is consistent throughout this Catskills home.
Decorate with Boots and Antiques
The floors in this attic-turned master were full-on filthy before the renovation of this Washington, D.C. home. Instead of refinishing them, the owner scrubbed each plank with a wire brush before vacuuming up the dirt. Her collection of Frye boots doubles as decor because, as with most old houses, closet space is at a premium. Various antiquing scores flank the bed.
Go All White
This king-sized bed was "originally the color of peanut brittle," said the owners of this Wisconsin home, so they painted it white and outfitted it with a cream-colored silk coverlet, a stitched quilt, and Euro shams. Pleats, pintucks, and stitching add interest and texture to otherwise-understated bedding, while spindle posts add a touch of elegance.
Keep It Airy
Wall-mounted sconces free up space on the mismatched "nightstands," which include a ghost chair and an old ballot box that store seasonal decor. The owner of this New York City apartment keeps the space feeling open by playing up the rooms natural light with bright paint and semisheer window shades.
Bring Nature In
Like the garden clippings that fill this Connecticut cottage, the iron bed was plucked from nature; it was a lucky roadside find. The bed, along with the white walls and neutral sisal carpet, allows collectibles and antiques—old books, flea market finds, and an antique glass cabinet from a dentist's office—to coexist. And to add a few more pops of nature, the owner display dried thistles in old apothecary bottles and a long row of succulents in a vintage gutter.
Try a Textured Throw
Use soft colors and cozy textures, such as a cable-knit throw, for a old-world, romantic bedroom, like in this San Francisco home.
