family room
Home's shared space
A family room is a casual living space in a home, typically less formal than a living room and designed for everyday activities like watching television, playing games, or relaxing together.
In American houses, it's often adjacent to the kitchen: The kids are in the family room.
The term emphasizes shared domestic life over formal entertaining.
