What is a "drawing room"?
A drawing room is a formal living space in a home, traditionally used for receiving guests and social gatherings. It is typically decorated with elegant furniture, such as sofas and armchairs, and often features decorative items like artwork, rugs, and chandeliers. The drawing room is designed to create a welcoming, refined atmosphere, where people can relax, converse, and entertain visitors. While less common in modern homes, it was once a central part of home design, especially in more traditional or larger houses.
