One couple calls their second-floor living room the “healing chambers.” Another homeowner calls it the “feasting room.” Others refer to “pajama lounges.”

Regardless of the name, developers, architects, and real-estate agents are increasingly getting requests for upper-level living rooms. The spaces are typically located right off the bedrooms and equipped with comfy sofas, kitchenettes and high-tech toys. Homeowners say second-floor lounges are cozier than open-plan living areas downstairs and offer more privacy because they’re above street level.
