20 of the Coziest Bedrooms
When the short days and the chill of winter are upon us, it's time
to cozy up the bedroom. Soft rugs, table and wall lamps, throws, throw
pillows, rustic touches, quilts, puffy down duvets, antiques, sloped
ceilings, dormer windows, custom moldings, fireplaces and tight but
comfortable proportions are snug and inviting touches in the coziest
bedrooms on Houzz. I hope you'll glean inspiration for cozying up your
own bedroom from these wonderful nests.

These cuties told me that this antique iron bed is their favorite naptime spot.

Nestling a full-size bed into a
corner always creates a feeling of coziness, though admittedly, it's not
the most convenient layout for a couple. Overhead reading lamps add to
the comfortable ambience.

Newfoundland, Canada, is a bed in the kitchen. I've heard from several
Newfoundlers that they remember fighting over who got the fun privilege
of sleeping in the kitchen bed.
