Weirdest name for a room/area in your home

[Persipan]

Inspired by my having rooms in my house called "horse's room"* *and "the pretend bedroom". I am surely not the only one to be this weird...

(Horse's room is actually a sort of study/craft room, but a hobby horse is stored there in amongst a load of rolls of wrapping paper, so apparently it's his room. The pretend bedroom is a sightly hard-to-define space which could be a perfectly sensible dining room only we don't have a dining table in it. Got fed up of calling it 'that room... in there' and my 3yo decided that we should pretend it's a bedroom.)

(Yes my house is quite big, but also exceptionally shabby and peculiar. My shopping list was 'big, cheap and weird' and I achieved all points.)

We have a green room, a half-bathroom, the white bedroom and the sofa room

My parents under stairs cupboard is known as “dad’s study” because for a couple of years in the 1990s he kept his computer/word processor in it and had to work in there. Poor dad, it’s about 1m x 1.5m 🤣

One house we lived in had a permanently cold hallway and downstairs toilet, we always called it the Cold Area. My mum calls the utility room, the futility room..

I have a proper staircase up to my loft which has a cupboard under. It's known as the 'upstairs understairs cupboard' or 'UU'.

This, of course, only means anything to someone who reads Terry Pratchett, but it amuses me to have my very own 'UU'.

That one made me chuckle!

My bedroom is called Cloudland.

In our current house we have the futility (utility) room and the futility loo, which is inside said room. We did have the summer house, also known as the sweat lodge as it got so hot in there that it was unusable. The thermometer read 50C on more than one day last summer before I got a man in to knock it down.

At my parent's house the teeny 'room' between the front door and the internal door was the porch and the equivalent room at the back of the house was the lobby (no idea why).

My mother calls the small loo 'the glory hole'. She doesn't know what a glory hole is..

Dumping ground, the term for our so called home office. When we work from home we use the kitchen table or living room!

15 years ago we had a white coloured cabinet/cupboard that was the junk/bits and bobs cupboard. We got rid off the cupboard about 10 years ago but still we refer to the junk drawer or cupboard as 'the white cupboard' , it is currently a specific kitchen drawer but we still say 'it's in the white cupboard'

These are magnificent.

My porch shall henceforth be known as “The Airlock” (Other Half says it makes the house sound like some exciting science-y place).

We have the Catbox (the downstairs toilet/cat litter tray station) and the Icebox (north facing back bedroom which is permanently freezing cold all year round). I’m sure the neighbours must think we’re mad when they hear “where are you?” “I’m on the Catbox”

Oh and the Office is known as The Orifice or Purgatory depending on how untidy it is.

Not a room or an area but the throw on our couch is called the skin of evil. It's from a Star Trek episode (the 1960's ones).

We have a 3-foot high plastic zip-up mini greenhouse thing in the garden which is called The Orangery.

Maybe the thoroughfare room was meant to be the office and you walk through it to get to the bedroom?

Our under stairs cupboard is called the cupboard of doom, it contains shoes, coats, chest of drawers, cctv recorder and modem amongst other things. But there's always a sense of doom when you have to go in it to find what you want! We converted our garage into a second living room and it's still called the garage or occasionally the green room due to colour of walls.

My parents also had the cupboard under the stairs when they lived in a bungalow 🤣

We used to have a lean-to on the side of a house where we lived. We called it The Salad Room because it was a bit on the side!

One of our bedrooms is the Boxing Room. When we moved in, we stored lots of boxes of stuff waiting to be sorted out in this room. Our not quite two year old daughter called this room the Boxing Room, because of all the boxes! Daughter is now 33, married with children of her own, and this room still referred to by the whole family (including son-in-law) as the Boxing Room!

Our regular family home sounds very fancy as we have “the gym” (spare room where the gym equipment is) and what is known as DS’s second bedroom or DS’s “office” (DS is 14 😂).

We have a Diving Room due to our eldest mishearing and mispronouncing Dining Room.

My grandparents had a Rumpus Room

We have a sort of central area in our house, off which are the kitchen, dining/living room and the downstairs loo. On the floorplan it was referred to as the 'breakfast room' even though there wasn't enough room to eat in there (unless standing up). But we still call it that!

The way into our utility room is called the back passage.

We have two front doors, one on the porch and one from the porch to the house. This is know as The Inner Door.

We have a Phone Booth as the space under the stairs was done out like an old payphone booth in a 1930s hotel when we moved in. It's full of shit and coats now but we still call it the phone booth.

The cupboard under the stairs is the harry potter door.

I had the White Room as it was a supposedly child free zone with a white couch in it . Got fed up of throws on it all the time. Got it recovered but still called White Room. Kitchen Room is the extension next to kitchen . Bedrooms referred to former occupiers long moved out. My mother referred to my utility room as the scullery.
