Most in their own dedicated room during the cold months. Outdoors during the warm months. A few of them, outdoors year round.
Where in your home are your torts? (pictures)

My CDTs are in the family room and go out side for a few hours when the sun is out. Baby Boxies in the family room too. One box turtle hibernating in the garadge other box is in the garage in a seperate enclosure awake. One gecko in son's room, one in hallway, one in livingroom. I need a room like GB has, but I like to see them everytime I go in a different room. The CDTs will be outside for the summer in a new enclosure.
Oh all your nice little tort tables with your neat and clean little torts!! This is what a real tortoise pen looks like after about 5 mintues, I don't care, here's my dirty laundry!!
This is in our dining room, in our brand new house we just built. We don't have any of the flooring in our living room/dining room area(all open) and when we had company over, one of the guys said 'where are you planning on moving that (pointing to our big double decker tort table)to?(When we can finally afford to put in flooring that is) My hubby looked at me and said 'oh it's staying right there, that thing is much better than 3 pools in our dining room we used to have, for years!!!!
Thank goodness I have a big beautiful outdoor pen that they are all out for a soon as I can get them out and for as long as I can keep them out!!

rufus (florida softshell) has an aquarium in my living room, near the entry way so i can greet her as i come & go, the box turtles & bigger water turtles have enclosures on the covered patio, the baby box turtles are in a small plastic box on my book shelf, and the 'rescues/temporary' residents are taken in and outside in their respective plastic tubs. the snake's in a vision cage in my dining room... hopefully in the next few years i will have a house with a great yard to move everybody to more natural/permanent environments.

The top rim of the top enclosures is about 64". I can easily see and reach into them. But if I'm cleaning or doing other work I use a 2' step ladder to make it easier. There are four enclosures at that height so it's really no problem. The second and bottom tiers are all easy to work in.
what a lovely house..
my two Russians are in our living-room

We used to have a dining room... It's Joe's room now and we're eating in the conservatory wearing lots of jumpers.
I love your little Boston Terrier! He's looking at you like 'Helloooo...I'm here too'!!!
Tico is in our living room in his critter condo when he is not outside.
And this is his outside pen. Not a full shot, I'll have to get an updated pic.

Wow you guys have some awesome enclosures....I feel like I took the lazy way out by just using a big plastic box
My guy lives in my bedroom with all the other animals that we need to hide from the cat

WalkingRock has a bunker outside in the back yard up against my kitchen...
....and the little ones Eros and Gaia are inside, between the livingroom and large office desk, under my dart board...

Does Walking Rock get the run of the yard, lucky guy?
Mine are inside mostly as they are only babies. they live in the corner of my dining room their table is elevated on a high end table so they are out of reach to any little visitors.
I have recently been renovating old furniture into shabby chic mix and match bits for my room so am on the look out for a sideboard to match in and will have a new tortoise table made to fit on top and match in with the colour scheme.
They go outside in the garden during the summer months for a few hours, but its just too cold in the UK for them to be out for too long!

The WHOLE back yard! When the kids get larger, they have their choose of either a Raised garden area with LOTS of sun or a secluded area with large shaded areas.
Here's my tort room in progress
