Sofa in the sitting room

Sofa in the lounge.

Usually sofa. Occasionally settee.

Settee in the living room. My grandma had a Chesterfield, but it was much bigger and more solid than a normal settee.

Sofa because thats what you buy/what the shops call them

Settee in the living room here

Settee.

Why are there different names for the same piece of furniture?? Settee, Sofa, Couch.

I use all three.

Sofa in the living room now, in the old house it was a settee in the lounge. How odd, I never thought about it before and have no explanation.

I also have a living room where my settee is.

Settee/sofa, completely interchangeable. I grew up with settee.

I grew up with a settee, now we have sofas. Can’t recall when the description changed. Never had a couch.

Ancient old squishy sofa in the living room. I keep meaning to get a new one but never get round to it.

Yes I also grew up with my parents saying settee, but I’ve called them sofas for many years now, mostly as when we have gone to replace one, online and in the stores they are known as sofas

I grew up with my mother saying don’t sit on the three piece!
I now sit/sprawl/lay on my sofa in the sitting room?

My granny used to have a couch. I haven’t heard the word for years, except for psychiatrist’s couch.
We have an item in the sitting room which we bought as a bed- settee. It is now a sofa- bed, I suppose.

Settee. Couch makes me think of potatoes!

You can’t have a sofa- or settee-potato, though!

I am going to be an unashamed couch-potato (feet up on the sofa) with my Kindle, for the rest of the afternoon, after 48 hours at dd’s, helping with 3 very little Gdcs.
Bliss!

Davenport was another in the US

Usually settee - which was in the front room until we moved to a house where the sitting room isn't in the front.
