A family room is an informal, all-purpose room in a house often confused with a living room. The family room is designed to be a place where family and guests gather for group recreation like talking, reading, watching TV, and other family activities.[1][2] Often, the family room is located adjacent to the kitchen, and at times, flows into it with no visual breaks.[3] A family room often has doors leading to the back yard and specific outdoor living areas such as a deck, garden, or terrace.
