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.
