When learning English at school or in any other educational institution, they always start with the basics and gradually move towards more serious and complex concepts. One of the tasks for beginners is to describe the interior of their own room.
Writing essays on such a simple and uninteresting topic for many enriches the vocabulary and teaches one to draw parallels and connections between words, to speak not only correctly, but also in the right sequence.
The words learned will mostly be nouns and adjectives that people often use in everyday life. Studying and repeating them will help you better master a foreign language that is still unfamiliar, but so attractive. There are certain rules for describing the environment, thanks to which this can be done easily, quickly, and most importantly, correctly. Let's talk about them.
Rules for describing the interior
The purpose of creating a description of a room is to form in the reader the most complete idea about it, primarily in the form of visual images.
So as not to miss some important features, without which the description is not complete, it is necessary:
- start the description by indicating the place of residence (village/city, name of the locality, for example, Moscow, Saratov, Babushkino village);
- tell us what kind of house you are describing (private, apartment);
- describe your personal home as a whole (small/large, how many rooms).
After the introductory part of the description is completed, you need to describe each room separately, to do this indicate:
The description ends with one of the following phrases:
- I love my room, it is very bright and cozy.
I like my room, because it’s bright and cozy. - I always wanted to have just such a room.
I’ve always wanted to have a room like this. - My house is the most beautiful in the area.
My house is the most beautiful thereabouts. - My room is always clean and tidy, I often receive guests here.
My room is always cleaned and tidied, I receive guests here very often.
The phrase can be anything, the main thing is that it brightens up the general dryness of the text written above. A beautiful description must be creatively thought out. Simply listing what is in a room or house is not the best option. You need to try to convey your personal attitude to each thing in the description.
How to describe a room in English?
When describing a room, you will need prepositions of place, pronouns, nouns and verbs, and almost all vocabulary. On the one hand, this is good, your vocabulary will expand, but on the other hand, you will have to learn many new words and terms, remember how to build correctly English sentence. The tables and translations of words frequently used in the description will help make this process easier.
Prepositions
Describing the interior of a room in English is not complete without “prepositions of place.” For example, we need to say where the closet is. We say that it is located near the window, using English preposition"near". "The wardrobe is near the window."
You can use other prepositions of place, most of them are presented in the table below:
| above | above, above |
| across | through, across, on that side |
| against | on the contrary, about |
| among | between, among |
| at | at, near, in, around, on |
| before | before |
| behind | behind, behind |
| below | under, below |
| in front of | ahead, opposite |
| between | between |
| beside | next to, with, about, near |
| by | at, near, next to |
| in | in, on |
| inside | inside, in |
| near | nearby, near |
| on | on |
| outside | outside, beyond |
| over | above, above, on that side |
| round | around, all around |
| under | under, below |
The main prepositions of place in English are “in, at, on”:
- The preposition “at” is used when indicating the position of an object at a specific point:"The table is at the window."
- The preposition “on” is used when it is necessary to indicate the position of an object on any surface. For example: “There is a beautiful vase on the table.”
- The preposition “in” is used to define a place in a vast space. Example: “My house is located in Sochi.”
The same is true with the rest of the prepositions used to describe the interior.
Required structures
To beautifully talk about your home, describe it in English, you need to master the topic “My house\flat” and be able to correctly use the construction of words like “there is\are”. The latter literally translates as “there is or is present.” Using this design, you can simply describe both the entire house and individual rooms. It formally contains the subject “there” (there, here) and the verb “is/are” (there is). The constructions “there are” or “there is” are often found in sentences. Both of them have the same meaning, but the first is used when talking about many things, events, and the second, if we are talking about the singular. Example:
There is only 1 chair in our bedroom – There is one chair in our bedroom.
In my room there are chairs and armchairs - There are chairs and armchairs in my room.
To create a beautiful and competent description, you will need to use the maximum of the words given in the tables below, as well as skillfully operate with the presented constructions:
| in the center of | in the center (The sofa is located in rooms, houses, apartments - The sofa is in the center of the room, house, table) |
| in the corner of | in the corner (In the corner of the room there is an armchair - There is an armchair in the corner of the room) |
| to the right of | to the left (To the left of the table there is a bed - There is a bed to the right of the table) |
| to the left of | on the right (To the right of the window there is a shelf with toys - There is a shelf with the toys to the left of the window) |
We describe where we live
When writing a description of your own home, you need to determine its location, as mentioned above. To do this, we use the words from the table. So, “Where do you live?” or “Where do you live?”
| house | house |
| street | Street |
| apartment | apartment |
| city | city |
| village | village |
| multi-storey | multi-storey |
| one-story building/house | one-story |
| apartment house | apartment |
| spacious | spacious |
| big | new |
| new | big |
| cramped | close |
| light/dark | light dark |
| old | old |
| comfortable | comfortable, convenient |
| cozy | cosy |
| cold/warm | cold/warm |
| brick | brick |
| concrete | concrete |
| wooden | wood |
An essay using the presented words might look like this:
There may be many proposals similar to those that have already been used.
Name of rooms in the house
It is impossible to describe the interior of a house without knowing what individual rooms are called in English. It is worth correcting this omission or repeating already familiar words.
They begin listing the rooms in the house immediately after indicating where it is located, how many floors it has, whether the housing is cozy or not very descriptive.
An example of how to do such a description:
- Our apartment has two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. There is also a kitchen, bathroom, hallway.
Our apartment has two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. There is also a kitchen, a bathroom, a hallway. - I live in a one-room apartment. It is very cozy and bright, consists of a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
I live in a studio apartment. It is very cozy and bright, consists of a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. - My apartment is small and does not have a dining room or living room. My favorite place in the apartment is the cozy kitchen.
My apartment is small, it has no dining room and living room. My favorite place in the apartment is a cozy kitchen.
There may be several examples of the use of room names in the text.

Beginners can easily compose 5-7 coherent sentences, while a student with an average level of knowledge will have enough vocabulary for 12-15 sentences. The text should be interesting and literary. Do not contain colloquial or untranslatable expressions.
Before compiling it, you need to study the correct arrangement of individual parts of speech in the English language and learn frequently used words. The tables above will help with this. Don't worry if you get a short description the first time. Constantly expanding your vocabulary will solve this problem.
