To use estate agent parlance "What do you call your main reception room?"

Well, I like to lounge around in my lounge, watching tv, etc, and sit around in my sitting room whilst eating my meals.

Thank you Kadinsky I knew we would not fall out over a word?

We have a living room, study and a tv room.

In a larger, grander house you might have a drawing room, but it would have to be a very large room in a very grand house with a host of other reception rooms.

If you live in a hotel, a pub or an airport, you probably have a lounge.

Northern roots here too - when young we had a front room and back kitchen; don't know why it wasn't just the kitchen. Calling the room a front room has stuck - but now we have 2, so it's small front room and big front room! Moved on from saying back kitchen and just call ours the kitchen. Bedrooms are: ours, the children's (each by name) and the office (our spare room with desk and computer and where I do my ironing).

We have a lounge and it's at the back of the house. All our bedrooms are the same size so we refer to them by occupant.

Sitting room.

Living room (of course) as a lounge is in a pub or hotel and sitting room is rather slang. Couch, settee or sofa?

Sitting room, with another cosy room called the snug when it's really chilly!

Sitting room, in which I sit on a sofa. DH has the small sitting room, his 'snug', in which he lies on a couch to watch his tv progs. He refers to the room in which I sit as 'the lounge' and we sit together on a settee ?. Bedrooms are: 'our room', *'s (DS) room, spare room and the unused one is the junk room. Main evening meal is dinner. I don't have a three piece suite just a large sofa and a small sofa. DH and I are both Southerners.

Same as Jane10. We were taught sittingroom, lounges were hotels and airports. Also sofa, not settee!!

Living room. (In a previous home with two such rooms, they were: "front room" and "middle room.")

Growing up, it was always ‘the room’ and only used at Christmas. Our living room was ‘the kitchen’, and we had a ‘scullery’ where we washed up, plus a pantry, a wash house, a verandah, bathroom, mum and dad’s bedroom, my sister and my bedroom, and a hall.
After we moved when I was about 13, we went to visit the new owners and my sister and I mortified Mum by loudly commenting how small all the rooms were, as if we had moved into a mansion, which we had not!

The kitchen

Living room..sometimes front room..my grandma always called hers the parlour..

The third (smallest) bedroom is the box room.

The living room and ‘my room’.

Living room.

Thank you annsixty, homeliness is what matters to me too.

kandinsky you’re forgiven

I've got a front room.

My late mother-in-law was rather pretentious (I don't know why, as she was common as muck), and she told me she had a "cloakroom" - until I pointed out it was a cupboard where the coats and shoes were kept.

Lounge is the word I use.

Anyone got a room they call the morning room/breakfast room

Sitting room. Lounge and front room are from a bygone era.

Front room. Lounges are in airports and hotels not houses ?.

Living room.
Upstairs we have my bedroom, back bedroom and little bedroom.
JaneA, our main meal is tea as well, mid-day meal is dinner.

We have a lounge and a back lounge!
