18 Styling Tricks to Make a Bedroom Feel Extra Cozy

From warm bedding to comfy pillows, these bedroom decorating ideas will give you an excuse to stay in bed all day.

Max Kim-Bee
Keep it Simple
The mostly white bedding in this Florida cottage creates a cohesive (rather than choppy) look. A few red stripes and the floral coverlet add just enough pattern to bring some life to the room.

Use Patterned Textiles
Patterned fabrics in subdued colors add soft dimension to a room, like in this Connecticut farmhouse.

Eric Roth
Mix Florals
From a bold coverlet, to delicate wallpaper, fresh flowers in a vase, and an intricate chandelier, flowers in all shapes and sizes can help make a room feel soft and romantic, like in this Vermont log home.

Gridley + Graves
Play With Pattern
Help loosen up a traditional bedroom by adding mismatched quilts.

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

Max Kim-Bee
Add Cozy Curtains
Drape a cold, iron frame with curtains to warm up a small space. Add a colorful blanket and throw pillows for snuggling.

Andrea Wyner
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 Franciso home.

James Merrell
Add a Rug
Add warmth to a bedroom by placing a patterned rug underneath the bed, like in this Vermont home.

Lucas Allen
Bring the Outside In
Keep tones neutral and add rustic touches — like pinecones and binoculars — to bring a woodland theme indoors.

Laura Moss
Go Floral
Floral accents, such as throw pillows, a comforter, and fresh flowers in a vase add a feminine touch, like in this New York beach house.

Ellen McDermott
Beamed Ceilings
An exposed ceiling, like in this Catskill Mountain house, helps to create a homey feel.

Laura Moss
Vintage Wallpaper
Toile wallpaper, like in this Birmingham house, feels both vintage and oh-so-pretty.

Victoria Pearson
Create a Cozy Nook
Enclose a small bed in curtains, like in this California home, to create a cozy nook.

Bjorn Wallander
Try a Tufted Headboard
Use a tufted headboard and soft lilacs and grays to create a calming space.

James Merrell
Paint Bright Walls
It's not wallpaper! Paint walls a bright color in a striped pattern to up the cheer factor in your bedroom, like in this rustic Vermont cabin.

William Waldron
Display Thrift Store Finds
Turn old sporting goods into witty wall art with white spray paint, like in this Montana cabin.

Lucas Allen
Turn Your Trunk Into a Nightstand
Hanging lamps and an antique white nail-edge trunk up vintage vibes, and can double as a nightstand to save space.

Keith Scott Morton
Juxtapose Pattern with Neutral Tones
A cooling color palette and intricate wallpaper create a relaxing retreat, with an elegant, tailored feel.

We're Obsessed With This Floating Lightbulb

Image
Flyte No magic, batteries, or wires here: Swedish designers Flyte promises to "set the lightbulb free" with its new concept — a bulb that hovers over its base thanks to magnetism and air induction. Hand-crafted in Sweden from sustainably-sourced oak, ash and walnut, Flyte turns on and off by a tap on the electro-magnetic base. If you don't need the light, the base can also transform into a wireless charging station for your phone. Yes, it's expensive, starting at around $$$, but considering the LED bulb is rated for 50,000 hours, it's a conversation piece that could last a lifetime. Flyte And don't worry about a curious cat or grabby toddler: The shatterproof glass won't break if Fluffy knocks it over. And since you don't need to plug it in, it's the ultimate kid-proof lighting solution. No tripping on unwieldy wires! Interested? Back Flyte at its Kickstarter page.

Every Day Is Chrismas at the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska

A post shared by Timothy Wang (@ttttimwang) on Dec 26, 2014 at 3:00pm PST In the tiny town of North Pole, Alaska the celebration of Christmas doesn't just happen on the 25th — every day is fair game for wearing red and green, and much of that is all thanks to Con and Nellie Miller. You see, back in 1952 they opened up a trading post in the newly named city and, in honor of Con's tradition of dressing up as Santa at every Christmas, they decided to give it a very special name: The Santa Claus House. It started off as a spot to grab necessities (think: a grocery store and post office combo). But as the community grew so did the store, and they added Christmas treasures, a new wing, and the world's largest Santa that stands 42-feet-tall. Today, thousands of people visit the store every year and millions have ventured to North Pole since they've opened. Looking for a festive photo opportunity? You've come to the right place. This holida...

"Fredagsmys" Is the Swedish Way to Make Your Friday Nights Extra Cozy

Image
Getty While the Danes have hygge , Swedes have mys , which basically translates to “coziness.” While the two concepts are similar—they both come from Scandinavian countries with extremely cold winter weather, for one — mys has a particular focus on eating delicious food that comes to a head on Friday evenings with the tradition of fredagsmys . Fredagsmys translates roughly to “cozy Fridays” and became embedded in Swedish culture in the 1990s when a marketing campaign for chips encouraged people to relax at home on Fridays and indulge in junk food after a long week of eating well and working hard. While fredagsmys can look different whether you’re a family with kids or a group of friends who get together every Friday night, the key ingredient “is easy meals for which everyone is the master chef,” according to the book The Swedish Kitchen . “Finger food and snacks are preferred to cooking and cleaning a pile of dirty pots ...
