Furthermore, the sitting room is very important because when we have visitors, we rarely 
invite them to our bedrooms or to the toilet or to the bathroom. No. We invite them to sit 
in the sitting room where we welcome them or discuss some issues. For sure, they look 
around to see how tidy is the room, how is it arranged and what we have in the house. That 
impression of the sitting room will always be with them about the whole house, about how 
we live and how tidy we are. In these regards, the sitting room serves as the face of the 
house, a sort of the public relations manager. 
Apart from the above-mentioned reasons, the sitting room is much more important than the 
other rooms for the very purpose it is supposed to be: for sitting. Having a place to sit in 
the house is very important. For example, imagine coming from a very hard days job, very 
tired. Sure the first thing one does on getting to the house is to head for the sitting room, 
most probable get a cold drink from the refrigerator and relax by sitting down in the sitting 
room, put on the television and for a moment forget about the hard days job. 
In conclusion, the sitting room is very important in the house for the purposes it serves, 
mainly, it portrays and gives impressions to others about how we live, how tidy we are, 
that is, it is the mirror and the public relation 'manager' of the house, and it is one of the 
best place where we can relax in the house.
