Oh well... somehow I find the old bathtub bathroom cozier... not exactly nicer... but cozier.

It was especially cozy behind the privacy screen. A bathtub in the bathroom can also create a cozy atmosphere...
There are situations where, unfortunately, practicality has to take precedence over coziness. However, our living room is still missing that final touch of coziness with wall decorations and such. The previous owners had everything in all sorts of bright colors. One sofa was green, another purple... decorations everywhere on the walls and windows. In the dining area, chairs were all different colors. Almost like a page out of a design magazine. The brown wooden windows with mullions also contributed to a cozy appearance. But it wasn’t really our style, so we had white uPVC windows with a wood-look finish installed, without mullions, to keep the overall color scheme neutral.
In contrast, our furnishing style is still quite simple and neutral. We are probably not as adventurous. The concrete-effect tiles definitely don’t convey coziness in the traditional sense. That’s why we kept the light wooden ceiling in the living room to provide a warm contrast to the plain concrete look. We also left the fireplace with reddish bricks to have a certain “eye-catcher.”
Our kitchen feels cozier in comparison, for example, to the bathrooms, because it’s not a sterile kitchen where nothing is allowed on the countertop.

Very nice 🙂 What kind of tiles are those? And the size 120 x 60?

The tiles are called "porcelain stoneware Dublin grey" in 120 cm x 120 cm (47 inches x 47 inches). As mentioned before, we also installed them in the living/dining area and the kitchen. The previous tiles were really hard to remove (DIY effort). The previous owners had also made mistakes during installation, so many were cracked—some almost across the entire living room.

Living room before (still with the old windows):

Yay ... no more holes in the floor ...!

(Almost) a piece of art, if you ask us ... 🙂

The transition from living/dining area to kitchen. Six tiles meet here.

Finished (the wooden shelf next to the fireplace at the kitchen transition is now matte white, and the tilers also used the same tiles for the kitchen and living room window sills. Looks great!):

We kept the kitchen as it was almost like new. However, we installed a new worktop and a new sink. The joinery team did a great job. Initially, we considered a granite countertop, but since we will probably get a new kitchen later on, we decided not to go for it now.

There is still a piece missing from the worktop under the window.

That was almost a year ago now.
