As the primary space for relaxation and entertainment for the entire family, the family room often serves multiple functions.
But most people get confused when it comes to family room and living room because not only do they look alike, but also their purpose is very similar.
Since it is often more casual and informal than a living room, the traditional family room is the place to watch TV, play video games, read, do homework or host the family game night. It is the place you go to for a wide range of activity, so it needs to be able to store movies, books, and toys, and include everything from a sectional armchair to a desk, bookshelf or a media console. This is probably the main difference from the living room that is mostly designed as a room to entertain guests in or just chill down in front of the fireplace.
