lived-in
Showing daily use
Lived-in describes a space that shows signs of regular use and habitation—comfortable rather than pristine.
A lived-in room has scattered books, worn cushions, maybe some clutter: The apartment had a pleasantly lived-in feel.
The term is usually positive, suggesting warmth and authenticity over sterile perfection.
A lived-in face shows the marks of experience and age.
