When i was at my mum & dads i called it a front room now in my house its at the back i call it a living room!

 

[Camlet]

I've always called it a living room xx

Front room.

I dont know anyone who calls it any different, even when its not actually at the front of the house .

Same

Living room. It's odd that we call it that as we have an open plan house so it's one gaint room but we still refer to it as kitchen, living and dinning room even though they are not separate rooms

I call it lounge, always have done but DH says I'm posh for saying that? Growing up my parents also called it the lounge, DH calls it living room I think.

I call it lounge, always have done but DH says I'm posh for saying that? Growing up my parents also called it the lounge, DH calls it living room I think.

Glad I'm not the only one that calls it the lounge! Never thought of it as a posh term, its just what my parents always called it.

Living room or front room mostly, I think that comes from both sets of Grandparents as both had a house where there was a room that was used daily (living room) and the front room for guests, special occasions etc.

Growing up we had a sitting room and several other reception rooms. Nowadays I use sitting room, living room and front room (although it's at the back!) interchangeably, but never lounge for some reason.

Sitting room is a middle class term and lounge is supposedly lower middle class, whilst living room and front room have a working class background.

I say lounge too! Always have done. Not sure what DH called it growing up, I have heard him say living room a couple of times but he mostly calls it the lounge. I wonder if it's an area thing as well as perhaps a class thing? Most people I know call it a lounge but when I lived in London I never heard that, it was always sitting or living room.

And we sit on a sofa (not a settee or a couch! )

I call it living room. It was always living room when we were younger, and then when we moved to a nicer area my parents insisted we called it a lounge and forever were correcting us! I still call it living room now!

Thinking about it I'm pretty sure we mostly sat on a settee growing up but I've said sofa most of my adult life!

Ours is living room, Zach calls it the 'willing' room.

 

[Banshee]

I call it the 'front room' even though it's at the back of the house. Guess that's just what my parents called it as we grew up and it's stuck with me.

We have two "sitting rooms" which we call "the red room" (because it has a red sofa, that room is a loving/dinning area, huge 30ft room! The other we call "the play room" but it's really just a room we use as the main sitting area, but the other is our more formal area so the other is the play room lol.
