Cosy Christmas living Room

Hi, So this time I'm making a Cosy Christmas living Room, but I'm not sure if it looks Cosy enough. Any help or sugestions are always welcome.

Thanks so much.

Currently, I have a room with 2 couches, a christmas tree with presents.

a rug

a coffie table with a cup of milk and a plate of cookies, 

Inside the room is a fire place. the fire is an auctal 3d object that has a morph to make it smaller. 

fireplace has christmas decorations. and christmas cards on top with candels.

also there is a bookshelf and indiviual pictures on the walls.

Also by the christmas tree is a toy electric train the track and all the train pieces are seperate objects so you can animate it.

Outside a pine tree prop comes with the set so you can make your outside scene more life like. plus a 3d modeled snow folling prop

    The pieces look nice, but cozy usually implies small and intimate. I think your room is too large and the pieces are too far apart to give a cozy feeling.. The ceiling lights look oversized, too.

  • Hello!

    I think this looks great. I think the couches need something like a Santa throw blanket. If you wanted to broaden your audience, maybe add in some Hanukkah, Kwanza or Ramadan elements. Just a thought.

    I think I agree that the room is too large.  Almost makes me think of Fezziwig's Christmas:

    "Hilli-ho!" cried old Fezziwig, skipping down from the high desk with wonderful agility. "Clear away, my lads, and let's have lots of room here! Hilli-ho, Dick! Chirrup, Ebenezer!"

    Room for dancing.

    Ok, so thank you all for your wonderful ideas and insite. I think my room looks much better. 

    I resized it so it is much more smaller and cozy, took out the celing lights and put in wall lamps to make it feel more cozy. Plus a standing lamp that can be moved around the room.

    Also added a throw blanket, that is D forced so you can drape it on anything you want.

    It isn't the size that stops me thinking cozy, but the lack of clutter.

    So you think it should have more objects laying around?

    Yes,  it needs to look lived in,

    I don't know ... it seems to me like once you have two or three characters in that room, it's going to look very cozy indeed. And if this is to be a product, it makes sense to assume that your customers may supply at least some of their own cluttery stuff. Maybe try doing an image with two or three characters to see how it works?

    Though maybe more presents or parts of open boxes might help, depending on whether you're aiming for "night before Christmas" or "after the presents have been opened" for your look.

    Also, a room that size would likely only have one overhead light, in the middle of the ceiling area, and then lamps elsewhere if needed; in one image -- newC.png -- you have a wall light along the side wall, a wall light in the corner, and a lamp, which is just too much for realism.

    All Good points. i'll do some renders with some characters in them. About the wall lamps. the room comes without any lights in it. the wall lamp is a seperate object that you can place anywhere you like. so the user desideds where he wants the lights to be.

  • More presents under the tree would be nice.  They look like they've been good this year.

    I think cozy is not so easy to define and quatify.

    Not only does it mean different things to different people, maybe due to previous experiences, but it isn't just about what we see, but what we feel. A room, which we're in, can feel cozy.

    It needs to feel welcoming, which to my mind isn't about size. Clutter, anything to give a homely (welcoming) feel could evoke cozy. :)

    I like your most recent image.

    Ok newest image. I think when you add people in the scene it makes everything look more cozy.

  • I think it looks pretty good. Reminds me of my grandparents living room where we held Christmas back in the 1970s and 1980s. Although the real room was a bit smaller and didn't have a fireplace (big TV instead!). And that room was illuminated by 4 wall light fixtures and no ceiling lights at all (although some light came through an archway from adjacent dining room).
