Sitting Room, Living Room Or Lounge

[ethandron]

Tilly just referred to her sitting room. I’ve nevre referred to our living room as the sitting room, sometimes as the lounge but usually as the living room.
Do you think it’s a regional thing? What do you call yours?
Whilst on the subject, I hang clothes to dry indoors on the clothes maiden, a friend thought this was really funny as they call it a clothes horse.

I grew up in a house that had a front room for entertaining guests, a living room that was also the dining room, and no one could convince a maiden to stay and hold anything so we settled for a wooden clothes horse.

Lounge and airer.

Originally from down south, brought up with sitting room and clothes horse. Now living room and airer.

A dear dear friend who vanished years ago but spent her formative years in Aberdeen called a clothes horse a winter dyke.

Terry and June have a lounge, I have a living room.

[Jackdaw33]

When I was small the living room was called the kitchen and the kitchen was the scullery. Perhaps a Geordie thing.

Has to be the living room

Living room or lounge, and clothes horse here in London. Never heard of a maiden (in those terms)

[Mamyalynne]

There are some lovely terms here , quite like 'Garment Donkey'.

[ethandron]

Never ever heard it called a winter dyke, vegus. Or a garment donkey, mamy.
You certainly learn a thing or two here don’t you?

[Traci66]

I have a sitting room and a lounge, the lounge is much bigger, and a clothes horse. Brought up in Liverpool, now live in York.

My Dad brought up in Ireland calls the living room or lounges ' the house'.
'Could you take that through now to the house?' if you were say in the kitchen and being sent to the lounge with a sandwich.
