What is a Family Room in a House

People often get confused between Family Room, Living Room or a Drawing Room. Sometimes people use the term "Family Room" and "Living Room" as same, but most of them don't know that some large homes can have both. Here we will clear the confusion about Family Room and make you understand "What is a Family Room". We will also tell you how Family Room is different from living room or drawing room.

What is a Family Room ?

Definition of family room depends on your location. For example, in North America Family Room is a living room where complete family can sit and relax to spend quality time. In British culture, family room is a room in pub where kids are allowed in company of one or more adults. If we talk about a universally accepted definition of family room, then it is a living room which is more appropriate for kid, rather than adults. However complete family can relax in a family room along with kids, where they can engage in different types of activities meant for kids.

How Family Room is different from Living Room or Drawing Room ?

Big houses can have all three of them, but there are some minor differences between these three. As we have mentioned earlier that Family Room are more kids oriented. Similarly Living room are more adult oriented, with some comfortable sitting arrangement and a TV to watch TV shows together. Some people also place their dining table in living room or use the sofa sets for dining purpose. A drawing room is usually made to entertain guests, however in small houses living room is generally used as drawing room to welcome guests.

Living Room is generally near kitchen, while it is not true for Family Room or Drawing Room.
