In Western architecture, living room , also called lounge room , space or sitting room , is a room in a residential home or apartments to relax and socialize. Such rooms are sometimes called the front room when near the main entrance in front of the house. In large formal houses, the common room is often a small private living room adjacent to the bedroom, such as the Queen's Quarters and Lincoln Room at the White House. The term living room was created in the late 19th or early 20th century.

Overview
In a house that does not have a living room or living room, the living room can also function as a reception room. The items in the living room can be used "to trigger and mediate the contemplation of significant others, as well as to regulate the amount of intimacy desired with the guests."
Typical Western guest rooms may include furniture such as sofas, chairs, tables, coffee tables, bookshelves, electric lights, carpets, or other furniture. Traditionally, sitting rooms in the UK and New Zealand have fireplaces, derived from the current required for heating. In the Japanese sitting room, called washitsu , the floor is covered with a tatami, a split mat, where one can sit comfortably.

From living room to living room
Until the end of the 19th century, the front room was a room in the house used for formal social events, including where newly deceased people were organized before their funeral. The term "living room" was found initially in the decoration literature of the 1890s, where the living room was conceived as a reflection of the designer's personality, not the Victorian convention.
