"homey" is comforting and cozy (home like). "homely" is ugly.

The confusion stems from the different English languages involved.


 * Homey:
 * chiefly North American
 * (of a place or surroundings) comfortable and cosy:
 * a homey atmosphere
 * unsophisticated; unpretentious:
 * an idealized vision of traditional peasant life as simple and homey
 * noun (plural homeys)
 * US informal
 * variant spelling of homie

-- We don't use this word, instead we use homely


 * Homely:
 * 1 British (of a place or surroundings) simple but cosy and comfortable, as in one's own home:
 * a modern hotel with a homely atmosphere
 * simple and unpretentious:
 * homely pleasures
 * 2 North American (of a person) unattractive in appearance.

Hope this clears up the confusion. I have rewritten the sentence concerned. Kjhf 16:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
