Let’s retire to the Drawing Room.
The drawing room, where the ladies would retreat after dinner to be followed by the men after a cigar and some port.
Notice the different ways that people arranged furniture back then. 
Small conversational groupings were arranged without a distinct focal point. 
As in, there was no TV. 
And usually a piano. 
And lots of seating.
So much better than a living room.
Or a parlor.
But not better than a salon.
