The problem is most housing forces are against it. If you're dense-living in a small sq ft apartment, kinda hard to fit in a bread machine and make your own bread on limited counter space. Most "obvious" cozynomics ideas don't at current domestic zeroth mile scale.

I have just moved into 1200sq ft and am thinking hard because it actually feels way cozier. “Cozy” sometimes just euphemistic for small but it’s clearly also something else

cozy & comfy are synonyms consider that a little pressure (from e.g. a heavy blanket) is comfy, but being squished is not comfy cozy might have something to do with minimum space requirements

Cozy is comfy in a specific way: warm, soft, swaddled, nonceremonial. Doesn’t need to be restricted space, just tighter containment within it. Like 3 400sq ft rooms are more cozy than 2 600 sq ft rooms. What you don’t want is distant horizons. Visual field should end nearby.
