family rooms
Shared living spaces
Family rooms are informal living spaces in homes, typically designed for everyday relaxation and entertainment rather than formal gatherings.
The term emerged in mid-20th-century American housing to distinguish casual spaces—often near the kitchen, with a television—from more formal living rooms reserved for guests: The kids are watching a movie in the family room.
