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.

Living room - SE London

It's the back room here, occasionally the TV room

Living room but growing up I think we called it the lounge.

DH calls it the sitting room which for some reason really sets my teeth on edge.

Front or living room. Even though, as PP's, it's all open plan!
Definitely not lounge. I hate that word but forgot about it until now, or I'd have put in the 'what-words-don't-you-like' thread! :-)

Sitting room - London. Though it was the living room growing up in Scotland. Not sure when / why changed.

Always disliked lounge no idea why

Anyone say the parlour??? 😂

Lounge. Wales.

Sitting room (Berkshire) but we have a Front Room as well. At home in Dublin we had a sitting room and a back room. Kitchen diners in both.

Sitting room - I am in London now but grew up in the North East where my parents would have called it the lounge which I always hated. We also have a family room which has sofas, TV and the X Box.

Southerner - Living room

Growing up it was the front room.
Now it's the sitting room as DH is posher than me!

Living room. Because that's where we live. (East Midlands born and bred, moved to the south east decades ago)

Lounge is posher, sitting room is surely only used by older ladies with lilac hair?

My Yorkshire in-laws said ' the room' too. I never gave it a thought until this thread.

I call it "a bit of a tip"
I'm living on the edge of chaos

Oh, me too, @BruceAndNosh
Everyone running around cleaning for Christmas.. why? It's going to get covered in wrapping paper, sweetie wrappers & tinsel!
I am REALLY enjoying being a slob. :-)

Me, south-east: sitting room
DP, Yorkshire: living room

I say living room, DH says front room. Growing up my parents always called it the lounge (much to the despair of my grandmother who would always say "no darling, it's the sitting room. Lounges are for hotels and airports")

Front room - Devon

The house - Sheffield (husband)

Sitting room or living room

We live in a ex shop, so it's the Shop Room, otherwise it would be the Family Room.
What would be our drawing room, we call the Parlour (with tongue in cheek.)
Originally from Kent.

I'm from the south east. I was raised to say sitting room (definitely not living room or, even worse, lounge - my mother was a snob) but for some strange reason I seem to always say front room now. No idea where I got that from. It's at the back..!

We have a sitting room and a drawing room.

Had a front room growing up which was fine as it was actually at the front of the house!

Originally from Essex.

I'm from London and i say 'front room'. I always thought it was a working class thing.

My m-i-l is hoity toity working class, so my husband says 'lounge'.

Living room - from the midlands.

Definitely misread the first part of that first sentence 😂

Front room - Northamptonshire, it is at the front.
Parents house, we called it the house, though that wasn't at the front
