great room
Spacious common area
A great room is a large, open living space in a house that combines functions typically separated—living room, dining area, and sometimes kitchen—into one expansive area.
The term emerged with open floor plans in American home design.
Great rooms often feature high ceilings and serve as the main gathering space: The whole family watched the game in the great room.
