MORE WINTER ROOMS

Oznell — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 04:46:32 GMT

The other winter thread had the icy pastels that draw me this time of year, and this one is more cozy-rugged.

This room has that intimate wood-to-stone ratio that always seems enveloping and protective from icy blasts.

Wonder if that low sun coming through the trees and roaring fire would keep this outdoor room warm enough...

Gorgeous massive fireplace balancing room-height windows.

This mountainside living room is sort of 'open- exhilarating' , instead of "enclosing"-- could never tire of that view...

Textures and candlelight make this room so rich.

Love the simple seasonal coffee table vignette in this family room from "oursouthernhome" blog--

The mantel in the same family room kept the handsome deer from Christmas, I presume, but surrounded with a neutral, wintry setting of candles and evergreens.

Great spot to curl up and watch the snow fly...

Nice stone and wood in the first three photos.

Love the green velvet pillow in the first photo, looks great in the foreground.

Beautiful woodsy mountainy view in the second photo.

The fourth photo has a great view. Would prefer a more rustic, less modern looking interior - the white walls, couch, and rug are stark and reflect too much sunlight, and the windows and frames look a bit industrial. Although the two airy chairs aren't a favorite, I think they are a good choice there because they don't block the view the way solid-backed chairs would.

I like this winter coffee table vignette too. And it struck me funny. Instead of a real vase of fresh flowers, there's a framed picture of a vase of flowers. I wonder if in the summer they have a real vase of fresh flowers and a framed picture of pine cones and evergreens.

I love the picture that has the stone fireplace and the rough overhead wood beams! So cozy looking and would sure feel good right about now!!

Ha, ha, @QVCisFun -- cute! I bet they don't reverse it in summer, if only because people don't seem to yearn for pinecones and evergreens in warm weather, but there does seem to be a year-round desire for flowers of every kind. That mini-portrait is an amusing touch...

That outdoor space is beautiful, but in the winter it would never be warm enough for me. All of the rooms look cozy and inviting. Even the more contemporary one is as inviting as contemporary gets.

I truly love every room pictured. They are all cozy, warm, inviting, and pretty IMO.

I love the warm subtle colors used which is very soothing and attractive to me.

Yep..I'll take all of them

@Oznell I just love these rooms and the view is stunning.

I don't know if this is just a corner of a cozy loft-studio, or if it is a spacious bedroom, but I love it either way.

All of these rooms have a warm and cozy feel. My two favorites are the outdoor space and the more contemporary looking living room.

I would want some type of window treatments for all the windows though. While the views are beautiful, I'm not a lover of snow/winter so I wouldn't want to sit and stare at it when I'm in the house plus I'd want some privacy. However, most of these homeowners or renters probably do love various winter sports activities so the cold and snow probably doesn't bother them.

All the spaces are very nice and cozy.

The first one is a bit too rustic for my style. The outdoor space is lovely, but I would not be comfortable if it was too cold outside.

I like the 3rd photo a lot. Very much my style. 👍

The 4th & 5th photos are a bit too neutral for me. I need more color.

I really like the photo with the coffee table vignette.

I don't like the brown recliner with all those accessories around it. Way too cluttered and IMO very impractical. Lots of opportunities for potential accidents & injuries.

I like the dog on the bed in the other photo posted, but not crazy about the room.

Yes, it looks so cozy and comfortable. Looks as though someone has already called dibbs! I don't blame the little sweetheart.

I would be doing almost all of my living in the beautiful living room with wall to wall windows! I would be nestled on the white couch with my fur daughter by my side watching the elements warm and cozy.

What a view.

More excellent pictures @Oznell thank you for brightening my day.

The first picture is my favorite. While I also love the rooms with the big windows and views, I have to wonder if having all those windows wouldn't make the room cold? The outdoors pic is just a big "no" for me unless it's summer! LOL

Thanks, @Oznell . Love many of the places you posted in this thread - cozy, wintry, attractive, and great views - thanks.

Such appeal, warmth, lovely decor, fireplaces and wood in all the photos!! I love the shore but I also love the mountains. The first photo reminds me of many of the log cabins that were scattered throughout the mountain area where I spent my summers. In the winter these cabins were always so cozy and warm.

Well, I'm pretty sure that room #1 is on the right as you enter the pearly gates.
