ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Inglenook

An inglenook is a cozy nook or space that is usually found next to a fireplace or stove. It is like an area in your house where you can sit and relax while feeling warm and comfortable.

Imagine you have a really big fireplace in your house with a small space next to it. This space is called an inglenook. The inglenook is a little different from the rest of the room because it's a cozy nook that is meant for relaxing, reading or playing games while enjoying the warmth of the fire. The walls around the inglenook usually create a bit of a cozy hideaway feeling. It's like having your own special spot where you can feel extra cozy and safe while enjoying the warmth and coziness of the fire.
