  Use Warm Woods

  

  Interior design team Tara Mangini and Percy Bright of Jersey Ice Cream Co played up the historic charm of a 1887 Arts & Crafts home in the Catskills by embracing the warm wood paneling on walls and ceiling and hardwood floors. To add contrast and lighten things up, they chose pale cool-toned gray paint that highlights the detailing on a pair of doors flanking the bed. A cushy upholstered headboard in a cheerful blue-and-white check pattern, a large cream-colored rug with a subtle pattern, and plush bedding that includes a fluffy gray fur throw at the foot of the bed adds softness and a homey touch.

  Practice Pattern Mixing

  

  Erin Williamson Design used bright wallpaper and bold pattern-on-pattern mixing to style this cozy guest room. "When mixing patterns, there are several possible strategies that I like to employ," says Williamson. "For this space, we mimicked a classic en suite look of matching fabrics and wallpaper by using several patterns that are close in color and scale—the effect is kind of dizzying and old school cool at the same time. The last layer came with the rug, which is a contrasting color and more open scale than the wallpaper and textiles. It adds visual texture while also letting the more bold patterns breathe."

  Add a Family Photo Wall

  

  Blogger Annie Diamond of Most Lovely Things created a warm, enveloping feeling in her bedroom by painting the walls in deep gray paint. The dark wall color adds a grounding element to the otherwise light palette that includes pale oak flooring, bed linens, and bright white paint on the ceiling as well as the window trims and doors. And she created an easily changeable gallery wall by adding three picture rail shelves and filling them with black and white framed family and travel photos. It's a personal touch that creates an instantly cozy feel.

  Add Midcentury Modern Touches

  

  In this Tudor house bedroom designed by Seattle-based OreStudios, an otherwise neutral room bathed in soothing tones of white, cream, and gray is given a bright and cheerful dose of color with a bright blue overdyed Turkish rug.

Paler shades of blue create an overall soothing feel that makes this cozy room something you'd be happy to wake up in every morning.
