What is an "inglenook"?
An inglenook is a cozy, sheltered space or alcove around a fireplace, often with built-in seating or a bench. It is designed to create a warm and inviting area where people can sit and enjoy the fire. Historically, inglenooks were common in large homes, especially in colder climates, offering a comfortable place to gather around the hearth. The design usually includes a deep recess or nook that extends beyond the fireplace, creating a small room-like area. Inglenooks can be found in traditional cottages, older homes, and some modern designs that aim to bring a sense of comfort and charm.
Example
The family gathered in the inglenook by the fire, enjoying hot cocoa and stories.

In the old cottage, the inglenook was the perfect place to relax on a chilly evening.
