A living room, also known as sitting room or lounge, is a room designed for entertaining guests and engaging in various activities like reading, watching TV. The term "lounge" originates from the Latin language and was later adopted by the French. In modern homes, the living room has replaced the traditional parlor. In the 19th century, the parlor served as a space where deceased individuals were laid out before their funerals. This led to the more positive term "living room" emerging in the 20th century. Architects and builders aimed to strip the parlor of its burial associations by redefining it as a living space. A typical Western-style living room features a sofa, chairs, occasional tables, TV or stereo equipment, bookshelves, and other furniture pieces. Traditionally, British sitting rooms have fireplaces, while Japanese people often sit on tatami mats instead of chairs. In the United States, the living room may be reserved for more formal entertaining, with separate recreation or family rooms used for casual activities. The term "great room" is increasingly used to describe a large, open space that combines the functions of a living room and kitchen. This type of room often features vaulted ceilings and may include a dining area. A front room can also be referred to as a living room, especially in homes where the entrance opens directly into the living space. A dining room is designed for consuming food, typically adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving. Historically, dining rooms were furnished with large tables and chairs, often arranged in a rectangular shape with two end chairs and an even number of side chairs. In modern American homes, the dining room is often used only for formal dining with guests or on special occasions. Informal meals are frequently eaten in the kitchen, breakfast nook, or family room. In England, the dining room was traditionally used only on Sundays, while other meals were consumed in the kitchen. Dining rooms can be equipped with removable table leaves to accommodate larger gatherings without taking up extra space when not in use. In Australia, while dining rooms are still common, family meals are often eaten in front of the TV in the lounge area. Some individuals choose to make their dining rooms more comfortable by incorporating couches or plush chairs into the space.
