Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This country lady calls her's a sewing room. Different parts of the country may call things by different names. Such as family room now might be called the great room.
I have two adjoining rooms, one is my sewing room and one is my fabric/cutting room where I have my Go and dies, cutting table and sewing supplies. I call the rooms my sewing area.
I love my life!
I call mine my sewing room. It used to be a family room and still is to a certain extent but it is mainly used for sewing. The family still comes in there when I am sewing but they are careful to leave my things alone.
My one is called my sewing room which has the largest amount of my stuff in it. Then I got a serger and set it up in the other small room that has been called Jeremy's room, the spare room, office and now its called the serger room. My grandkids know which is which so when we are cleaning I can tell them which room to put things in and they know where. I'm sure there are lots of reasons people call them different things rather its business, personal or a matter of preference. Just like some people name their machines or cars. I call my machines, the Viking, the Kenmore or the serger. No names needed.

I only have a corner and a closet--no room, no studio (though I'm liking the idea of calling it an "asylum").
Courtesy is not optional.

I call mine a studio. Maybe it was because I did custom quilting for clients. I really don't know why.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Haha it is definitely artier to call it a studio. Here's Merriam Webster
Full Definition of STUDIO
a : the working place of a painter, sculptor, or photographer
b : a place for the study of an art (as dancing, singing, or acting)
a : a place where motion pictures are made
b : a company that produces motion pictures
: a place maintained and equipped for the transmission of radio or television programs
: a place where audio recordings are made
A room is just a room, but a studio is a source of creative output
I call my room 'the quilting lab' because I am always experimenting with stuff and trying things out, which is how I learned to quilt and what makes it fun for me. My husband and my son (when the dear is home) often hear squeals or shouts or shrieks or peals of laughter coming from there. I make it a point never to let my temper get to me in the lab. If I called it a studio I might have temper tantrums or feel I had to create art, and if it were a workroom I would have to feel productive.
Not such a dumb question at all, ocydroma!

My room has three names; sewing room, office, and Gram's room. Gram was my mom who lived with us for 14 years. She's been gone for 7 years, but we still call it Gram's room, Gram's closet, Gram's bathroom.

Good friends are like stars; you don't always see them, but you know they're always there!
Mine sewing area is the unfinished section of the basement...half L/A dedicated, half sewing....it is just " downstairs"..... As opposed to other areas down there....family room, bar, office, bathroom.....
I have observed that a lot of art quilters refer to it as the studio but that is just my observation and by no means a tested theory. I actually love the term studio but have never gotten into the habit of using it. In my house my sewing room is where I piece. It is also my guest bedroom so everything is put away when guests come to stay (usually by brother so we often call it Dan's room). My longarm is in a back bedroom and is referred to as the longarm room. Both are upstairs in my house. The guest room is in the front and the longarm is in the back. So when I announce to my DH I am going upstairs to sew, he usually asks front or back, or he asks regular or longarm? LOL
