English Poems that Mention House Parts and Furniture

I Never Want to Go to Bed
Kenn Nesbitt

I never want to go to bed.
I like to stay up late.
I"m bouncing off the bedroom walls
and, frankly, feeling great!

I"m dancing like a maniac
instead of counting sheep.
My mom says, "Time for bed."
My dad yells, "Get your butt to sleep!"

I"m not sure what my bottom
has to do with anything,
but that"s okay because I"d rather
jump around and sing.

I don't know what it was
that made me feel so wide awake.
Could it have been the Red Bull
and the double-chocolate cake?

I wonder if the seven cups
of coffee plus dessert
of Hershey bars and Skittles
are what left me this alert?

Whatever it turns out to be
that made me feel this right,
I hope I track it down
so I can stay up every... ZZZzzzzz

The Kitchen

A home is made of many rooms
To rest, to sleep, to shower,
To play, and read, and talk a lot,
Do hobbies by the hour.

But the kitchen, ah, the kitchen
Is a room that"s made of dreams
Of fantasies... created by
A love of cooking schemes.

To touch, to smell, to visualize
The wonders that occur...
And then to taste, and then to taste
Results of things that were.

At one time just "ingredients,"
In their places on the shelves
But become a wondrous mixture
As though transformed by elves.

Yes, a home is made of many rooms.
Each one has it's pleasures,
But the kitchen is the best of all
For finding hidden treasures.

Please remember – don"t forget...
Mabel Lucie Attwell

Please remember – Don’t forget!
Never leave the bathroom wet.
Nor leave the soap still in the water. –
That’s a thing we never ought"er! –
And as you"ve been so often told,
Never let the "hot" run "cold";
Nor leave the towels upon the floor.
Nor keep the bath an hour or more –
When other folks are wanting one;
Just don"t forget – it isn’t done! –
An" if you"d really do the things –
There's not the slightest need to sing!


Hello, dear readers. Why do you think we wrote so many essays at school? Is the teacher really that interested in how you spent your summer?! In fact, writing essays is not only creativity, but also the development of speech. Describing a room in English will also help you not only show your creative skills, but also significantly enrich your vocabulary and develop coherent English speech skills. Interior description in English Once you learn to describe your home in English, you will notice that your vocabulary will imperceptibly become significantly larger. In particular, you will learn a lot of concrete nouns by listing the objects in the room. Also, do not forget that the description uses a large number of adjectives that characterize objects from different points of view.

This way, you will once again practice and test your grammatical knowledge. You will be able to identify gaps and shortcomings in your knowledge so that you can correct them. Therefore, such work on essays and texts on various topics should be taken with the utmost seriousness, showing all your skills and abilities. Even if you don’t manage to do everything right right away, continue anyway.

Learning parts of the interior in English The task of describing the interior is so that the interlocutor or reader can imagine the room you are describing as if he sees it himself. Therefore, it is very important not to miss important details so that the picture appears complete. And for this you need to adhere to certain rules of presentation:

  • First, you need to say where you live (city, village, London, Moscow) and in what type of housing (apartment building, private house, ranch)
  • Secondly, it is necessary to illustrate some general information about the room as a whole ( big house, small apartment, two-story cottage, 3 rooms in the house)
  • After this, you can go directly to the description of one of the rooms (hallway, bedroom, kitchen)
  • To begin with, characterize it as a whole - relative sizes (large, small), architectural features(shape and number of windows, ceilings), general impressions(light, sunny)
  • Describe the decoration - the color scheme of the walls, ceilings, floors, tell us about the lighting - sconces, chandeliers, floor lamps
  • Move on to outlining the furniture - its location, shape, appearance, color and functionality (Next to the right wall is a folding sofa, upholstered in velvet. We use it when we have guests staying overnight)
  • Tell us about household appliances, which is also part of the interior - computer, video player, TV, washing machine
  • ABOUT textile design also don't forget to mention - decorative pillows, curtains, bedspreads, drapery.
  • Indicate other decorative elements - paintings, figurines, origami, photographs, etc.

Be sure to end the text with a final sentence like “I really like spending time in the living room!” or “My room is the most comfortable and beautiful!”

How to describe a room in English?

Before writing the essay, I recommend that you once again repeat the topic about English prepositions. Pay special attention to prepositions of place, as you will need to use them often. You will also often come across the construction “ there is / there are", so it would also be useful to repeat the pronouns. In addition, remember the rules for constructing English sentences. All this will be very useful to you.

Well, now, with a clear conscience and a positive mood, proceed to describe the premises in English, following the above plan and rules.

First of all, we indicate where we live: in a big city - city, in a small town - town, in a village - village, You can mention the location. Then we describe the type of housing. Here in English we use various names for each type:

  • Skyscraper
  • Multi-apartment housing - block of flats/apartment building
  • Single family home – detached house
  • Semi-detached house with separate entrances
  • Two-story house for two families - duplex
  • Mansion
  • House outside the city – cottage
  • Dacha – vacation house
  • Floor

Example: I live in a small flat in London. It's close to the university. My flat is very quiet. My flat is on the 5th floor. There are 2 rooms in my flat. ( I live in a small flat in London. It is located next to the university. It's very quiet here. My apartment is on the 5th floor. My apartment has 2 rooms). How to describe a house in English? Now you can start describing each room separately or just one of them:

  • Entrance hall, corridor - hall
  • Living room
  • Dining room
  • Kitchen
  • Study – study
  • bedroom
  • Bathroom
  • Balcony

We give a general description: There is a big window in the living room, so it’s very light. (In the living room large window, so it is very light). And we talk about color scheme: Red flowers (red flowers), beige wall-papers (beige wallpaper), white ceiling (white ceiling).

Let's move on to outlining the furniture:

  • Sofa – sofa
  • Coffee table
  • bed
  • Armchair – armchair
  • Bookcase
  • Bedside table
  • Dressing table – dresser
  • wardrobe
  • Dinner table
  • Kitchen set – cupboards
  • Chairs
  • Sink
  • Toilet

Example: There is a wardrobe, a desk in my room. There aren’t any chairs, but there is a big red sofa. (My room has a wardrobe, a desk. There are no chairs, but there is a large red sofa).

Household appliances are an important part of the interior, and sometimes even fundamental when it comes to the kitchen. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about it in the text:

  • Equipment
  • TV – TV-set
  • Computer
  • Refrigerator
  • Microwave
  • Stove - stove/cooker
  • Dishwasher
  • Washing machine
  • Vacuum cleaner

Towards the end, start talking about decorative elements:

  • Picture
  • curtain
  • clock
  • carpet
  • mirror
  • Vase
  • Photos
  • Shelf

Example text: There are some shelves and clock on the wall. There’s a vase on the shelf. There are some pictures and photos on the wall. (There are several shelves and a clock on the wall. There is a vase on the shelf. There are paintings and photographs hanging on the wall).

If you add up all the examples that I gave, then you will already have a short essay describing the interior. And by remembering all the words that I have given, your vocabulary will increase significantly. Try to write essays - descriptions or narratives and on other topics. This way you will quickly learn many new English words and phrases.

Surely you are already familiar with such basic words from this topic as table, chair, bed and others. But do you know what, for example, a lampshade or an ironing board would be called in English?

We fill this gap in knowledge and enrich our vocabulary with new useful words that will allow you to quickly navigate, for example, sections of an online store and will certainly come in handy when communicating with the landlord when you decide to rent an apartment abroad.

This article is entirely dedicated to this interesting topic like the decor at home. Today we will answer the following common questions: how to say “furniture” in English, what types of furniture there are, and how to correctly talk about pieces of furniture in English.

Rooms in the house and furniture in them

Vocabulary on the topic “furniture” is one of the basic ones in the English language. By the way, in English home furniture will be called furniture. This word refers to the furnishings and equipment of a living space in the broad sense of the word. But if we are talking about a specific item in the house (a sofa or a chest of drawers), this is already a piece of furniture.

In Russian, we are accustomed to calling “furniture” not the furniture itself, but its parts. For example, handles for cabinets, guides for drawers, wheels for chairs, and so on. Fittings can be not only furniture, but also footwear (laces, buckles), construction (locks, closers), industrial (fasteners, flywheels, pins) and others.

Remember this correct translation of the word “furniture” into English so as not to be confused in the future. What is “fittings” for a Russian, is furnishing or accessories for an Englishman. But a furniture store in English would be a furniture store.

To make learning easier, we suggest dividing the furniture into rooms: this way it will be much easier and more clear to remember new words. Also, the topic “furniture” in English usually includes basic electrical appliances and equipment such as sockets and switches, which are found in every home.

Useful words

It is not enough just to know the names of the main pieces of furniture in English. It is also important to be able to tell about where they are in your home. The following universal words for describing furniture in space will help with this: Behind - behind
Between - between
In front of - in front
Next to - nearby
Opposite (to) - opposite
To the left (of) - to the left (from)
To the right (of) - to the right (from)

For example, if you want to say that in the living room there is a large chair between the fireplace and the bookcase, it would sound like this:There is a big armchair between the fireplace and the bookcase in the living room.

Well, to consolidate the material, practice making simple sentences on pieces of furniture that you have in your home. Describe where they are located, what they look like, where you bought them, and why you like them. The topic of “furniture” in English is not only easy, but also pleasant to learn, because you can do it at home in your free time.

As the English say, “There is no place like home!” ( Better at home there is no room), and we at Puzzle English completely agree with them.
