One of my brothers calls his spare room 'the guest bedroom' but we call ours (we have two) 'the front bedroom' and 'the back bedroom'. My other brother calls his 'the junk room'. What do you call yours?

At the moment I can only call it the Junk Room - but perhaps we will sort it out eventually hmm

I was touched to find that my daughter's spare room in NZ is known as 'Nan's room'.

The computer room: houses the printer /ironing board/dryer/ sofa bed
The kids room: houses all the DGC toys/books and they sleep there when they stay
The spare bedroom: Double bed/wardrobes and bookshelves

In our last house in England, they were my office, the children's room and the glory hole. In this temporary house in New Zealand, the two spare rooms are the children's room and the baby's room. In the house we shall be moving into, soon I hope [fingers crossed emoticon], they will be my house and the guest room.

Daughter calls it her room (was hers when she lived here), son calls it his room (was his after she left), grandson calls it Mummy's room, she's convinced him, as for me - depends who I'm talking to!!

The front bedroom and the 3rd bedroom, the latter being a single bedroom.

We have 1 and 1/2 bedrooms so after we fitted the wardrobes in bed 1 we made the 1/2 bedroom into a dressing room,there is no spare room for people to stay wink

End room or middle room confused I have 4 bedrooms, but everyone knows what I mean.

"the spare room" identified by colour scheme and / or types of bed therein.

If you live in social housing you call it a financial liability

'The Red Room has all the GCs stuff - cots, toys etc. Georgie's room/ the Yellow Room (it was hers but now she's in Oz she rarely uses it but Hannah does); Imi's Room/The Blue Stripey room. It was never Imi's room but she uses it now hmm. Life is so complicated wink

Spare room!!

sunseeker Thu 04-Jul-13 16:30:28

one is the office, where I keep all the paperwork, another is the front spare room and we made another two into a sort of guest suite with its own bathroom and sitting room. I find if people come for a long visit (several weeks) they do like to have a place they can chill out while I am busy doing other things.

Ours are called the 'red room' and the' lilac room' for obvious reasons.

PRINTMISS Thu 04-Jul-13 16:16:12

The spare bedroom

Granny23 Thu 04-Jul-13 15:58:39

We don't have a spare room sad envy

Ana Thu 04-Jul-13 15:58:37

Ours are the spare bedroom and the boxroom - although it isn't acually that small!

numberplease Thu 04-Jul-13 15:56:08

We have 2, one`s the back bedroom, and the other is the little bedroom,
