'Stimmungsvoll' (atmospheric) often describes places, events, or elements that create an atmosphere. Typical combinations are 'ein stimmungsvoller Abend' (an atmospheric evening), 'eine stimmungsvolle Atmosphäre' (an atmospheric atmosphere), or 'stimmungsvolle Musik' (atmospheric music).

'Stimmungsvoll' (atmospheric) can directly describe a noun or be used as an adverb to characterize an action. It then answers the question 'Wie?' (How?).

cozy / relaxed
'gemütlich' and 'stimmungsvoll' both have to do with a pleasant atmosphere. 'gemütlich' fits when something feels calm, warm, and comfortable, and you feel at ease. 'stimmungsvoll' emphasizes a special effect more, for example through light, music, decoration, or a beautiful place. The words can be confused because both are positive. 'gemütlich' is more everyday and closely connected to feeling comfortable; 'stimmungsvoll' sounds a little more festive or special.
