What do you call the main living space in your house?

[00100001]

The one where you might have comfy seating, the TV, the place the family gathers to relax etc.
And roughly where are you?

We use living room. Hertfordshire.

Lounge - Wiltshire but I'm not from here originally.

Living room - east anglia

Front room.
I'm originally from London, Dh from Hertfordshire. It's been the front room in every house we have lived in, even if it's at the back!

Lounge. I am north west based.

Ahhhh I say this too

Living room. North east

Living room/ Front room

We have a back room too but that's just back room never living room!

Both from Essex, not posh!

I'd say sitting room was posh!

The kitchen. Because we have bug open plan kitchen/sitting room there. I call it the kitchen because we do have another living room which i rarely use. All family sitting, dining, watching tv in the kitchen (there is tv and toys rack there aswell)

Living room, front room or TV room. We have a smarter back living room that is called the music room or the quiet room as it has no TV in it.

Front room. When we lived in a terrace and used the middle room rather than the room at the front of the house it was the back front room Vs the front front room

Kitchen.. it’s huge and has a separate “living” area.

We also have a snug but it’s mainly DH and I that use that at night once the DC are in bed. DD goes in with friends too but we don’t tend to use that space as a family often. The lounge rarely gets used.

Border of Sheffield / Derbyshire

I say living room now, but we used sitting room at home when I was growing up. I remembered the other day that we said settee instead of sofa, too. (I'm from the South East)

We call it the family room, and have a separate lounge, which is less used.

Sitting room. South east England.

Sitting room (currently Essex but orginally West Country)

Sitting room. Calling it lounge growing up would have received the same reaction as saying toilet or pardon…and those habits are hard to break. I think my dc mostly say lounge if talking to friends though - we’re south east

Lounge. Midlands.

I've always called it the sitting room.

Born and brought up in the West Country but now live in the South East.

Living room and sitting room are interchangeable here.

Would never say lounge.

Victorian semi so we have front room and middle room.

Front room is more me and middle room is DH and football/rugby/cricket etc
We do find common ground sometimes...

we are home counties

Living room
Or, since we are now open plan, "over there".

It's a strange thing. My mother referred to hers as the front room even though it was upstairs and overlooked the back garden.
And my friend refers to hers as the lounge even though she has no lounging furniture, only a shitty hard-backed 3 piece suite which gives you sciatica after ten minutes in it.

Drawing room. No, it's the sitting room!

We call it the family room. Southern US. We also have a more formal room that we call the living room, but it is hardly used.

I like sitting room, living room and lounge as they're all so apt.
