uncozy
Lacking warm comfort
Uncozy describes a space or situation that lacks warmth, comfort, or welcoming intimacy.
A room might feel uncozy because it's too large, too cold, or too sparsely furnished: The high ceilings and bare walls made the apartment feel uncozy.
The word can extend to atmospheres or interactions that feel uncomfortable or uninviting.
