What do you call the room you sit in?

[Banksy13]

So is it a sitting room, a lounge, a family room, a TV room, a front room, a drawing room?! I'm not from the UK originally and I guess this may be class related. My husband calls it the lounge so we go with that, my family back home call it a sitting room however.

Drawing room when I am pretending to be posh. Otherwise front room

Lounge, no idea why

Front room, although in our new house it's at the back.

Our living room is our back room so call it both.

Lounge.
Surprised so many people call it the sitting room.

Living room.

Growing up, we just called it ‘the room’, no idea why as it was not the only room in the house!

Sitting room, it’s for sitting in 😉 but it’s bedroom not sleeping room

Living room or front room.

Sitting room
We also have a drawing room we only ever use at Christmas and with guests

Sitting room

Living room. And occasionally just the room - we always called it this as children

Living room. Never lived in a house where it was at the front, so front room makes little sense to me

sitting room

Living room,

Living room.

Lounge here, sometimes sitting room, but my whole family say lounge...

Lounge or living room here. Never sitting room. We're in the NW if that makes a difference

Drawing room is not the lounge

Yes it is. In order of posh-ness, the terms go: drawing room, sitting-room, living-room, lounge.

I call mine the sitting-room, but only because it's small, and I'd feel a bit of a tit calling it the drawing-room.

Sitting room, simply because if I called it anything else my mother is likely to come back from the dead in order to a sharp intake of breath in my direction. We also have a drawing room but not because we’re oosh. It’s a cupboard that ds has a desk in and does his drawing.

Living room or sitting room. Growing up we had a living room and one called “the room” like some previous posters, which was kept for visitors and special occasions like Christmas.

Living room. I don't know if it's true, but I was told that this is because the room used to be used for mourning and where a dead relative would be presented before burial, and once that practice decreased they changed the name to "living room" to reflect its new use

Living room here, though the kitchen sofa gets just as much use. I grew up with a front room.

Living room, or maybe sitting room. It's only a technically a drawing room if you have it in addition to another such room. Lounges are in hotels and airports, it isn't really correct to describe a room in a house as one. My grandparents used to call it "the other room," which didn't entirely make sense as there were more than 2 downstairs rooms

Living room.

I think anything is fine except lounge, which as others say is in an airport or other public building.

Living room. Lounge sounds all kinds of wrong to me
