Lounge or living room?

[Sunshineonarainydayy]

Do you think one is more posh to say than the other?
If so,
YABU living room is more posh
YANBU lounge is more posh

Lounge, living room, sitting room, drawing room - in order of ascending poshness. My grandparents (not posh) had a “front room” - which they hardly ever used.

Anything but lounge!

What about parlour?
We use front room (even though its at the back), lounge and sitting room.

This is a lounge singer.

I just say lounge as it's easy

It was always front room growing up in our house, think it might be a South Wales thing though

Never lounge. That is something people do on sun beds.
We live in all our rooms.

Drawing room and morning room are very specific and rooms with an accepted purpose. Usually only in really quite grand houses.

For most of us, it’s sitting room. Maybe summer and winter sitting rooms, maybe sitting room and snug.

Front room here.

Lounge reminds me of big puffy leather sofas, 1990s wallpapers and/or swirly carpets.

I say living room but I'm common as muck. If I heard anyone refer to their living room as the "drawing room" I'd piss myself

Sitting room for me.

Front room was the usual term for my grandparents and friends in Newcastle.

we use them interchangeably - ours is living room/ lounge / front room

Sitting room or front room here

Neither of those terms are posh.

My mother is a snob and always told me lounge was common.
I say sitting room.

What about parlour? We use front room (even though its at the back), lounge and sitting room.

Scrolled quite a way to see if parlour had been mentioned.

This was considered posh where I grew up but then I was right common 😂

Dunno which one is posher. Don’t really care.

I use lounge, living room and front room depending on my mood. Probably front room the most. Ours is at the front but most people I know it isn’t!

I think living room is an American term. They all use that over there.

@Justkeeprollingalong

We call it the front room, even in houses where the said room isn't in the front of the house! I think it's a North East thing.

My Mom and Dad have a front and back, S.Yorks / Midlands, so not sure who it comes from.

Sitting room is local dialect, I think, especially in working class areas with "2 up, 2 down" houses - so you have a back kitchen and a sitting room. The latter being for high days and holidays.

Living room with the big light on.

Lounge goes with pardon, settee, dessert and toilet. The exact opposite of posh

this has come up before on here. I've reached over a decade . I few up saying lounge. DM is wannabe posh but v far from it. We all say living room now. But when I remember I try to say sitting room

I grew up. Doh

@MyNameForToday1980 and @tummyaches

Both of you are completely correct!

All those words are hideous and try hard. Settee and lounge are top of the worst!!

Sitting room, or drawing room if it doesn’t have a television. Morning room if it is very bright and you write in there.
