Voting is the heart of Cozee. Every medal in the game comes from real players rating each other’s rooms from one to five stars. You vote in rounds of five designs, usually all from the same Space, and every round earns you coins and XP. About a day after a design is submitted, once enough players have rated it, those ratings decide whether it earns Bronze, Silver or Gold. Here’s how it all fits together, and how to be a voter other designers are glad to have.
A voting round, step by step
- You open voting and see five designs, usually from the same Space. Because everyone started from the same empty room, you’re comparing like with like: same walls, same window, same light, different ideas.
- You rate each design from one to five stars. It’s quick: look at the room, decide how much you love it, tap.
- You collect your rewards. Every round earns coins and XP, and your first rounds each day earn double.
Then you can start another round, or go back to designing.
Who gets shown to you
Designs that still need ratings are shown first, so every design gets seen and nobody gets left out.
If you’ve blocked someone, their designs disappear from your voting, and yours from theirs.
From stars to medals
About a day after a design is submitted, once enough players have rated it, it gets its medal:
| Medal | What it means |
|---|---|
| Bronze | The designer took part and earned rewards |
| Silver | Players really liked it |
| Gold | Players loved it |
Two rules keep this fair:
- Extreme single ratings are softened. One unusually harsh vote, or one unusually generous one, can’t decide a medal alone. The result reflects what most voters thought.
- A medal needs enough ratings. If a design is still collecting votes, its results wait a little longer rather than being decided by a handful of people.
The designer gets a notification when results are ready and claims the rewards in the app. If they design the same Space again and beat their best medal, they earn the extra medal rewards they hadn’t earned yet. For the design side of that, see how to win Gold.
How to vote well
Fair votes are what make a Gold medal mean something. A few habits help:
Rate the room, not the designer
Don’t let a username, a follower count or a friendship decide your stars. Look at the room in front of you. The community guidelines put it simply: rate the design, not the designer, with no vote trading.
Judge the idea, not your personal taste alone
You might not love maximalist rooms, but you can still tell a confident, well-balanced eclectic room from a cluttered one. Ask: does this design have a clear idea, and does it carry it through? A room can earn five stars from you even if you wouldn’t choose that style for your own home. (If you want to sharpen your eye for different looks, our style guides explain what makes each one work.)
Use the whole scale
Five stars for a room you love, one for a room that really doesn’t work, and the honest middle for everything in between. If every room gets five stars, nobody learns anything. Kind doesn’t mean inflated.
Compare within the round
Because the five designs usually share a Space, the round is a mini competition. It’s fair to ask “which of these five did the most with this room?” and let your stars reflect that.
Things voters often reward
These aren’t rules, just patterns that tend to make a room stand out:
- A clear focal point, often the view or a fireplace, with furniture arranged around it.
- A tight color palette with the accent color repeated.
- Believable layout: seating grouped on a rug, clear paths, pieces scaled to the room.
- Lighting in layers: a pendant, a floor lamp, a table lamp.
- Life: plants, books, textiles, little moments to discover.
- A design that answers the Space’s story, like a cozy cabin that really feels warm.
Voting makes you a better designer
Every round is a free lesson. You see five interpretations of the same empty room side by side and instantly feel which one works. Pay attention to why you gave a room five stars, and you’ll start doing the same thing in your own designs. After you submit, browse the feed to see how others designed the Space you just finished; it’s the best way to learn.
Reactions and comments are separate
Stars decide medals. In the feed, you can also leave a Love, a Wow or a Colorful on rooms you like, comment to tell the designer why, and follow designers whose taste you love so their new rooms show up first. Find out more on the Community page.

Questions people ask
How many designs do I vote on at a time?
Five. Each voting round shows you five designs, usually from the same Space, and you rate each one from one to five stars.
What do I get for voting?
Every round of voting earns coins and XP, and your first rounds each day earn double. Voting also counts toward the Design Pass.
Can one bad vote ruin my medal?
No. Very high and very low single ratings are softened, so one harsh or one over-the-top vote can’t decide your medal on its own.
Can I vote on my own designs?
No, and you shouldn’t try to with a second account either. The community guidelines ask for one player, one account, with no vote trading and no rating your own alts.
