Well, we don't have these kinds of rooms here. Or furnaces (it's Florida) but if we did they'd be basements.
Also my bonus question is---
In a house with two rooms for communal family living--1 room that has a tv, couch/sofa, and is where everyone spends most of their time. And one room where most of the "nice" furniture goes, where no one spends a lot of time. What do you call the two rooms?
Usually I hear them divided into "Family room" and "living room". Where the family room is where the family hangs out the living room is where no one lives.
Except I call the more formal room where no one spends much time the "front room".

It's a holdover from when I was a kid, we'd do that and dunk our Grape Blo Pops into our cokes. Not at the same time as the pizza though.
Although the strangest food thing I like is crispy bacon on peanut butter toast. That used to be a breakfast treat Mom made for us.
