How to use this prompt

"Diamond-paned glass" is the architectural cue that fixes the building as old university, not modern apartment — keep the leading visible. "Steaming cup of tea on a saucer" matters because the visible steam is what sells warmth against the cold rain outside; a still cup reads as a setup. "Brass reading lamp casting warm pool" is the single warm source — the window light must stay cool and grey so the lamp reads as the cozy anchor. "Wool blanket draped" adds the texture that separates lived-in from staged. "Misty quadrangle through the window" gives the outside world a dark-academia setting; a street view breaks the mood. Keep the palette muted grey and amber; bright colors kill the rainy melancholy.

Variations to try

Add a sleeping tabby cat curled at the end of the blanket for a cozy variation
Swap the tea for a glass of red wine and the book for a journal for an evening variation
