Sitting room, living room or lounge?
(I'm not making this a regular thing, don't worry).
I used to say sitting room, but like settee, at some point I switched over to living room. I'm a Londoner, but had a Midlands mum.
Following on from the other post, I think if you say settee, you probably say sitting room. If you say sofa, you probably say living room or sitting room . Lounge definitely goes with couch.
Which term do you use, what region are you in/from? I'm not counting front room, because that's a separate thing imo. The front room is the good room, or "the parlour" if you're posh.

Where did you get that pic of my nan's house from?
From your nan's house.
I don’t think that room could shout ‘30’s built 3bed semi, decorated in the 60s’ any louder
I'm originally from London and my parents would always say living room and sofa.
My boyfriend's mum refers to one room in her house as a sitting room, and another as a living room. I can never remember which is which, despite living in that house for a number of years.
Why do you keep the buttplug on the telly
The tubes keep it warm, obviously.
Why, where are you supposed to keep it?
Swap it with the spider plant so it gets more light
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
It's your granddad's ashes.
Turn on the tele. Big breakfast is on. Egg on your faaaaace.
Grew up in the north-west, in a two-up, two-down and it was always the front room. When I was little it was synonymous with living room for me. I only realised it was not the same thing when my gran got annoyed with me for calling her living room the front room (she lived in a bungalow and the living room was at the back of the house). Nowadays still call it the front room back home, even though we moved house when I was 10 and it's no longer technically at the front. But anywhere else I'd say living room. And it's always been a sofa.
Yes
