    Lounge/Living/Sitting Room usually.

    On another note, I'd love to have a drawing room, just soo cool.

    Cock. Forgot sitting room.

    For sitting room vote living room. Same difference.

    The poll works better if you don't just pick 3/4 of the list, ala Dave.

    Upstairs for me...

    my living room is on the first floor and takes up all of the space, there are no iwalls (except the ones on the outside obviously, its not a terrace) and high ceilings. So basically its upstairs but if it wasn't it would be living room.

    Re: You Know The Room In Your House With The TV, Sofa, Coffee Table etc In It...

    Generally I call it "The Living Room" (although not normally with the capitals, that makes it sound like a monster or something...)

    However I'll occasionally refer to it as the lounge. It depends what I'm going to be using the room for, and the mood I wish to envoke. I love that about the english langauge

    The drawing room to me is something more similar to the dining room. Whilst lounge or living room conjures up an image of a light cream coloured room with sofas, music, coffee table and, in modern times, a TV; to me a drawing room is more about practical chairs for working at and a number of bookcases, all in a stately darkwood setting.

    Living Room, although I spent about 2 minutes a day in there - I certainly don't 'live' in it by any means.

    Living room. A lounge is the girly part of a pub . Unless you live somewhere with called ________ Castle, _______ Grange, ________ Manse or something similar, drawing room? No. Just no. Front room, I can see if it's the room that only gets used for hatches, matches and despatches (and their attendant parties) .
