The bedroom is where we wish we could spend most of our time. There's no better feeling than walking into a bedroom that is so inviting, saying no isn't an option. Size typically aids in the success of a true I-simply-cannot-resist-cozy-bedroom.
Here's our roundup of irresistibly cozy bedrooms from Small Cool 2010.

White Enamel Flatwa...
I don't find these irresistable at all. Lamps hanging directly above, a tray table at the foot, frames and stuff all around the bed... make me restless. #8 the loft one looks dangerous. Not feeling coziness or auspiciousness in these rooms.
I'd like this feature a little better if it happened after the voting. :)
I think the #2 second row would be the only one I would want to spend time in only because of the view and natural light. Otherwise, I am with meomi.
While I do like many of these, "cozy" isn't the word I would pick to describe them. I think it's the fact that they're almost all white!
Not getting a cozy vibe either. It seems that all beds should have, at a minimun, a place for an easily reachable lighting source, a spot for a glass of water and a book. Oh, and they should be accessible FROM BOTH SIDES. Crawling over your partner to get up at night to go to the lav is a real pain.
Mmm I love cozy bedrooms. I don't have the most cozy bed, but having bought my first "real" bed recently, that alone makes it impossible to say "no" to laying around in it. :)
I especially love the first bed with the green comforter.
ooh, i love natalie's alcove (#6)! i went out a bought a canopy to put over my bed to create s cozy space, since i'm not lucky enough to have a built in one =)
My fave is also the one from Natalie's Alcove Studio. It looks so cozy and subtle pops of color and texture is just lovely.
I have a guest room to be finished and although the lines are not as graphical as the ones in this room, and the texture is alot more felt-ish, heavier than the ones in this room, I am thinking a chevron patterned set of pillows are going to look great. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just went on etsy and found this store that had what I was looking for!

#2 is so incredibly cozy. I just love the realness of it.
I love #6 as well. Then again, I just wish I could live there. :-)
Natalie's Alcove Studio (#6) looks the coziest. I don't think I'd ever want to get out of bed if that were my bedroom!
what happened to AT??
they feature so many bad places these days. and those rooms.. apart from no. 6, and probably the first.. the rest are horrible, not only that, but whoever too the photos was obviously Blind!!! bad cropping and arrangement. AT talks about thier tips to good shots, but they post lousy ones themselves!

This is a good selection of bedrooms/bed nooks that illustrate how people have found solutions to one of the biggest problems of small apartment living - how to accommodate the bed! I have enjoyed seeing them in a group like this and I also enjoyed the selection of kitchens. It just adds another dimension to the contest. I'm opting for number 2 in the second row as my favourite. The sensational outlook is complimented by the simple approach to the decor.
