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.")

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have Cozy Comforts At the Ready
This sleeping loft gets a cold-weather refresh with the addition of vintage Woolrich blankets and tartan pillow shams. A handful of synthetic flokati rugs are scattered throughout the house for an extra layer of softness. Additional pillows, stashed in an ash basket, provide more cozy comforts at the ready.

Try a Woodsy Wallpaper
The birch-patterned wall covering gives this guest room a rustic feel year-round. Draperies mimic the effect without feeling matchy-matchy and the reclaimed wood bed, hand-knotted rug, and barn lights from Schoolhouse Electric reinforce the tree house vibe.

Add reclaimed and antique decor accents, like the sign, lamps, and chests in this Georgia lake house, for undone, rustic elegance.

Emphasize Weathered Ceiling Beams
A sophisticated gray-brown floral wallpaper mimics the hue of the weathered ceiling beams in this Georgia farmhouse, and offers a feminine (but not frilly) foil to the room's rustic elements.

Add Lots of Organic Texture
Create a fuss-free, cozy vibe by layering organic textures (lots of linen and rope) and raw materials (wood and stone). An antique barn door track gets a second life as a picture rail above a burlap-covered headboard in this Tennessee barn home.

Consider Color
After removing the wallpaper, these New Hampshire homeowners uncovered a verdant shade of milk paint in the guest room, and knew it was meant to be. To keep the focus on the green, they added antique twin beds and a vintage wool rug.

A handsome, 64-inch headboard, made from sage-tinged linen and accented with bronze nail heads, adds coziness to this Alabama home's bedroom, along with an assortment of mahogany-hued pillows. A nubby cotton throw completes the cozy look.
