When I was staying for 3 days in a cozy single room during my return trip I found that sometimes small room (to some extent) can offer the comfort rather than the large room. It's really subjective how people recognizes its surroundings, so this never be a universal standard but I'll try figure out why that small room fit me.
We all might remember that we used to hide in a narrow space or den in childhood to find ourselves in a safe haven where everything was within arm's reach. Room with a modest width with equipment that is well customized for single person sometimes reminds of the children's hideaway.
Meanwhile it'll be a strict requirement for a small room that it has wide open window letting the light as fully as possible. The effect of light is greater for smaller room because if a small room is well lit with natural light then there must be less wall and less furniture, so the room should have been carefully designed to, and luckily succeeds to function as a single room.
Of course I do know the charm of large houses and rooms which enable us to feel the sense of openness and freedom. Also small rooms may only fit for resting, reading and sleeping, not for other activities, like building a dog house or playing drums. But we can surely find a comfortable and small room which makes us wonder how the room works well in spite of the smallness and what is the key. This is much intriguing.
