A
living room, also known as sitting room (especially in the UK),
lounge room or lounge (in the United Kingdom and Australia), is a
room for entertaining guests, reading, watching TV or other
activities. The word Lounge is from the Latin, it was brought
over later on by the French.
In
modern homes and apartments the living room has replaced the old
fashioned parlor.[citation needed] In the 19th century, the
parlor was the room in the house where the recently deceased were
laid out before their funeral. This became the more affirmative
term "living room" in the 20th century.
The
term marks the twentieth-century effort of architects and
builders to strip the parlor of its burial and mourning
associations. A typical western living room will be furnished
with a sofa, chairs, occasional tables, a television or stereo
equipment, bookshelves, as well as other pieces of furniture.
Traditionally a sitting room in the United Kingdom would have a
fireplace. In Japan people traditionally sat on tatami instead of
chairs but western style decor is also common these days.
In
the United States, sometimes the living room is reserved for more
formal and quiet entertaining while a separate recreation room or
family room is used for more casual activities and drinking. In
recent years, "great room" has come to be used to
denote the family room, especially if it is open to the kitchen,
and may feature a vaulted ceiling.
In
Australia, the living room is more often referred to as "the
lounge" and is used for both formal and casual entertaining,
although casual entertaining also takes place in the backyard.
The
term front room can also be used to describe a living room,
because in many homes the front door opens into the living room.
