The term great room enotes a roomspace within an abode which combines the specific functions of several of the more traditional roomspaces (e.g. the family room, the living room, the study, etc.) into a singular unified space. Different great rooms will combine different functions, e.g. some may incorporate a reading area, thus bringing the traditional study function into the scheme of the room, while others may forego this particular function. Some great room designs incorporate the functions of the traditional dining room as well.
