I found this cutaway of the ground floor of the Simpsons' house:

But, I don't remember the top right room in any episode. Does it really exist, or is it made for the cutaway?

  • Tangentiality, isn't the basement staircase in the wrong place?http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~elmer/simpsons/btmpics/bulb.gif – Mac Cooper Sep 08 '15 at 10:31
  • @MacCooper no; there are two stairways to the basement – Shevliaskovic Sep 08 '15 at 11:21

    If I had been asked to draw a plan of the Simpson's house prior to seeing this, I would have gotten it hopelessly wrong in so many ways. – Todd Wilcox Sep 08 '15 at 15:46

    @Shevliaskovic The door next to the grandfather clock looks like it goes to a closet. Where is the second stairway to the basement? Is it inside the closet and under the stairs to the second floor? – jamesdlin Sep 08 '15 at 21:17
  • The room with the dining table looks very narrow in this picture ... – Pierre Begon Sep 09 '15 at 13:21

This is the Simpsons' recreation room. It has indeed been rarely used in the series, but has appeared on the show a few times. Here's one of them (from Lady Bouvier's Lover, Season 5, Episode 21):

And here's another appearance, from Three Men and a Comic Book (Season 2, Episode 21):

The fact that it is rarely seen was parodied in White Christmas Blues (Season 25, Episode 8):

Marge: Well, there's a rec room off the kitchen but sometimes it's there and sometimes it isn't. Our house is very odd that way.

  • not sure, but I think that may be the room where they were watching cartoons while being babysat by the babysitter bandit as well. – Dave Cousineau Sep 09 '15 at 02:56

It is on every episode. After the car eventually gets in to the garage the whole family runs and sits in that room in front of the TV.

    That's the living room. The Simpson family has several TVs. You can see it in the cutaway above on the top left. – Walt Sep 08 '15 at 12:11

    It is only that Marge's car pushes Homer through the wall into it. Everybody else takes a different entrance – Hagen von Eitzen Sep 08 '15 at 20:57
  • @nilon Still the answer does not mention any of your deductions. You might want to add them into the answer or rather post your own answer with the explanations and reasoings from your comment. – Napoleon Wilson Jun 24 '16 at 16:56
