Cozy or Depressing?

I am always surprised by the responses about white/cream rooms.

Which do you find this- cozy or depressing?

Definitely not cozy, industrial, stark, cold.

It's definitely not cozy, but I wouldn't call it depressing either. It seems awfully dark to me even though it has the large window. I don't like a lot of gray, and this is too gray for me.

IMO this room is too dark, lighter woods would be cozier, and that window needs curtains or even blinds, it is too much light for that dark of a room, not to my liking at all.

I like the table, so maybe with a different set of chairs and some colorful decorations or food.

@lolakimono

It’s creepy!

The “no-go” for me is that horrid (IMO) brick wall.

I love white and cream rooms and find them inviting.

The kitchen you posted in neither cozy or depressing. It is too plain and blah. There are no upper cabinets and the brick walls are boring. The lights are taking center stage and they are not all that.

The whole room is done is a series of rectangles and it looks too boxy. A round/oval table would look better and with items of different shapes.

It looks unfinished to me.

Overall I like it---very open and industrial. Love the table and how its set and the lighting. I don't like the brick wall-----maybe should be painted ???

Cozy.

I don’t understand the trend of no upper cabinets. I hate stooping to retrieve things.

First, is it a basement kitchen? I don't care for the lighting over the table, seems too heavy, even though I sort of like the heavy table, sort of. The bricks would be ok IF there were upper cabinets hung on them. I think it may be the flooring that makes it seem cold.

I like it...the rustic styling, but do not like the ultra-modern parts.

Yay.

@lolakimonoand CARMI The entire room looks thrown together to me; a juxtoposion of sorts. It's not industrial with the newer (but drab) bricks and country-type table. I do like the counter, lower cabinets and the gorgeous floor if other changes were made! The lights would appeal to me without the crazy thing they are draped over. Lightening up that brick wall to match the beautiful window and a round table (with a glass top) would help. Red apples on the table!

Edited: What am I thinking? I hate to eat in a kitchen! Never have and hope I never do.

It is neither cozy or depressing. Just dark and stark.
