sitting area

Place for chairs

A sitting area is a space furnished for people to sit, typically with chairs, sofas, or benches arranged for conversation or relaxation.

The term usually refers to a designated section within a larger space—a sitting area in a hotel lobby, a sitting area off the master bedroom—rather than an entire room: The open floor plan includes a sitting area by the fireplace.
