The main room in your house...

My granny had a kitchen and scullery, the breakfast room, the dining room and a drawing room.

But the room I loved was the telephone room which was a piece of oak panelled hall sectioned off with a huge, heavy door and a padded seat

'Lounge' is anything but posh! Aveline aka Lady Grantham.

lounges are in airports, its either the sitting room, or living room

No, we have a lounge. Airports have arrivals, departures and waiting areas.

Mine is ''the living room'' and my bedroom is ''The Snoring Place!''

This wonderful poem by Sir John Betjeman sums it up.

I think of it every time hear the words serviettes, toilet and lounge I think of this.

I don’t think the word “posh” was used so much in the 50’s otherwise I’m sure he would have somehow got it in there!

Betjeman was a terrible old snob 😁

But he knew how to laugh at himself and his peers too!

Lounge or living room.

It used to be the lounge when I lived with my parents… now at 80 this year it is the Living Room/Work Room. I still work part time … so a lot of my work nowadays is done on the sofa in front of the TV, or with my back to it listening to the news whilst I work at the computer. With heating costs the way they are there is no point having a separate room to work in ( if I had a spare anyway which I don’t) … so the ‘living room’ is always cluttered! Hence Work room!

It was always the living room for me growing up. We also had a dining room.
We now having a dining room and our old living room is now a TV and reading room. We extended the back of the house and now have an open plan , kitchen , dining and living room, which is where we spend most of our time . Either of us goes into the tv room if we want to watch different things .

We had, and still have, a front room and a back room. We also have a bedroom in the converted loft which we call the loft. My SIL says we should call it the fourth bedroom, but it’s still in the loft.

She has a lounge and a dining room.

In my childhood 50/60s the front room was kept as a spare room and we used the living room for tv etc. We had to have a spare bedroom because my parents took in women who were in desperate need of shelter, for whatever reason but usually violence at home, often with a baby too. Not their jobs but because they each had a kind and practical heart. Sometimes they were very elderly women who needed somewhere and once or twice I remember men too. So the front room didn’t exist until my sister and I were in our teens and our parents realised that room was ideal for us.

as an Eastender growing up it was the front room even though it was through lounge now it is the lounge.

Front room my mum would of gone mad if we'd called it a lounge. I can remember being on holiday in Blackpool in the very early 70s and there was a sign on a door saying lounge. I asked my mum what it was and she shuddered and said the word was common. We weren't posh we lived in a rented semi but my mum was obsessed with us not being 'common'.

I moved between front room ( it is at front) and living room. We called it the front room when I was young in homes where it wasn't at the front. I think that was a hangover from both grandparents homes where they were at the front. We have another room at the back which is a bit smaller and opens on to the garden, which call the garden room. We actually 'live ' in this room the most, we only spend a couple of hours a day in the front room to watch TV, unless we have company because it's bigger and has more seating.

As a child grew up in a small flat with a kitchen (livingroom), and scullery (kitchen) . Now have three "livingrooms" known as the upstairs lounge (upstairs and used for lounging), the downstairs livingroom (downstairs and combining the kitchen, dining and seating area) and the front room (at the front of the house).

I’m not sure why, but I really don’t like the description of a room ‘lounge’. Ours is the ‘living room’, which includes the dining area. When I was a child we had a living room, kitchen, scullery and a ‘front room’, which made sense as it was at the front of the house.

In a two roomed tenement flat, where I grew up, there was the room and the kitchen. The kitchen served as kitchen, sitting room, dining room and bedroom ( usually for parents ). The bed was in a small additional area of the kitchen, exactly the size of a double bed, and was called the bed recess. The other room was where the kids slept, and was called ‘ the room ‘. Toilet outside.
Now my main room is called the living room.

We have always had a living room! I do remember my late in-laws had a room that no one was ever allowed in unless special guests and grandly called it ‘the parlour’ !

The house we live in now had a "morning room" too MartavTaurus for many years.
It was small and we have knocked it through into the old kitchen to create a much bigger, more usable kitchen space.
When we arrived here the morning room walls were all a deep salmon pink.

I moved awhile back to a victorian house which had a giant pantry where washer went(& plenty shelves) i called that the scullery,or utility room) I so loved that scullery..then a dining room and a front room.Sadly i had to move again as landlord was selling it.🙁where we are now its the living room.

I miss my scullery.😟

We usually just refer to the living room as the room (as in "go through to the room")we are northerners.😁

Lounges are rooms in hotels
