I do not agree to that as an interior designer...
A sitting room is different from a living room
A sitting room can be found in a living room because it's the small area that contains the chair you sit on (the sitting area) a living room consist of the sitting area as well as other areas such as the dinning area, the bar section or even game section...

There's nothing wrong with spaghetti. The term 'spaghetti' is not a brand. Any pasta that is in long and thin form is spaghetti.
