What do you call it? I've heard of Front Room, Lounge, Parlour, Drawing Room, Sitting Room and my favourite, The Living Room.

Hi Daniel My main room is at the back, so we call it the back room, lol Juliexx

Either the Front room or the Living room :)

Sitting room, Suex

We call ours the Living room, tho we spend most of our time in the kitchen. Heather

Trust the first answer to be awkward :-) Sitting Room, forgot about that one.

When I was little it was always the Front Room and only used on high days and holidays! The main room was called the Kitchen and where the cooking was done was called the Scullery!! When married I called my main room the Lounge but here in Grenada they always say Drawing Room!!! Jacquie xxxx

Daniel I like to be different, lol :0))))))

We say the lounge, not sure why.

Hi Daniel, We call it the Living Room. My Mum had a Dining Room and a Lounge My Nain had a Parlour, Dining Room, Back Kitchen (more of a sitting room) and a scullery. Gwynne

Daniel I don't have a name for mine if some visit I just say oh go in there how common is that Howardxx

It's a living room here too.

I have a livingroom and a frontroom. PC is in livingroom, so I spent more time time in here. Marion

For my Mum, an Eastender it was the front room but my first husband's family had a lounge, so lounge it has been for me ever since. A little bit of snobishness maybe!!!!!!!!!! Vivienne

In one of my old houses we had a 'family room' and a 'sitting room'. The family room was used most of the time and the sitting room was saved for special occasions. It was such a lovely house... it had a study with a separate front door to it, a cloakroom, a massive scullery, my mother had a dressing room attached to her bedroom and the garden was massive with a stream running through it and 2 bridges... Becx (now living in a one bedroom flat!)

It was always 'lounge' when I was growing up, and the name has just stuck now I've got my own home. Mandy :) PS: Daniel, this led me to another question. Is it sofa or settee? lol

Hi Bec, That house sounds lovely, we rented a house along the same lines when I lived in NZ, had fourteen rooms in all. I've missed something along the way. How did Bella Bec become Bruiser Bec please? Vivienne

Hi Mandy, It's Couch in my house!!!!!!! Vivienne

My main downstairs room is called the Bedroom! Livingroom is upstairs....lol BC

Its called the living room in our house. When we moved into this house which is fairly old it had a 35ft livingroom, and a tiny kitchen so my partner shortened the livingroom and extended the kitchen so have a bigger kitchen. Yvonne
