Noodling about interior decor... comment with a pic, or link to pic, of someplace you define as "cozy", please?

Book nooks are cozy. http://cloakeynotes.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/cozy-book-nook.jpg
...But I would find it cozier if it were warmer tones, like burgundy and rust and aubergine. I'd want the pillows to be velveteen and a nice thick rug on the floor next to the alcove.

Also: any mental images I have of Bag End are the epitome of "cosy."

Y'know, they're going to be doing a Lego Bag End set to coincide with the first Hobbit movie...

(Not that it's terribly cozy. Lego is uncomfortable to sit on.)

That's nothing compared to walking on it!!

42itous and I are on a similar jag. I saw the picture she posted, but it wasn't quite right: too angular and the mattress doesn't look squishy.

That's my idea of cozy.

Fabric tents are cozy, as is the effect of fabric tented on the ceiling. They also have the added bonus of insulation.

Roo is at the age she would probably totally love a toddler sized tent too, and enjoy draping fabric over tables and chairs (probably with adult assistance for now) to make her own tents. Do this with a flannel sheet or two in the winter and you may be able to turn the heat down a bit if you dress everyone warmly. (This at least is the the theory; maybe this year it will work for our family.)

Cozy = warm colors, snug but not cramped spaces, comfortable plush seating, enough light without an overabundance of windows, gentle lines, classic rather than uber-modern styles, wood and fabric rather than glass or plastic or paper, usually gold-toned rather than white metal, firelight (as fireplace, candles, oil lamps, etc.), stuff that's gently used or restored rather than being brand-new.
