homier

Warmer and welcoming

Homier is the comparative form of homey, describing something that feels more warm, comfortable, and inviting than something else: The new apartment is homier than our old place.

The word suggests domestic coziness—soft lighting, familiar objects, a lived-in quality that puts people at ease.
