Right now it's got a stark, modern feel. Cozy to me means a rug, plants, texture, pattern, color. I don't like the beige accent wall. I'd repaint it white and add some colorful art instead. WHere is the focal point of the room? A comfy chair with lamp could make for a nice reading spot. I'm not quite clear on the layout, as the photos make it look like more of a hallway/landing than a room, but there are definitely things you could bring in to up the comfortable feel.

I agree it looks more like a landing area or extension of the laundry room. To make it feel cozy I would personally buy a large sheepskin rug or area rug with sheepskin layered over it. And buy a simple but modern lines couch in a neautral color. Add some cosy textiles (ex: cableknit blanket) and some modern or abstract art of your choosing.

Thanks Cara & Hutchae, pardon me, it is actually a common area. There is actually 3 rooms. And i intend it to be an area where family members can gather and relax.

Make it a library, electric store gathering relaxing place. Some inspiration;

Just pointing out - the above inspiration photos are very traditional, while the space samsonwi has is very modern - straight lines, glass, steel, polished stone floor. I'd pick things that go go more with this aesthetic.
