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. Description of the room on English will also help you not only show your creative skills, but also significantly enrich your vocabulary and develop communication skills English speech. 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 text 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.

Rules for describing the interior

We teach parts of the interior on English Problem 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 what type of housing ( apartment building, private house, ranch)
  • Secondly, it is necessary to illustrate some general information about the room as a whole (large 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 impression (bright, 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 functional purpose(There is a folding sofa upholstered in velvet against the right wall. We use it when we have guests staying overnight)
  • Tell us about household appliances, which are also part of the interior - computer, video player, TV, washing machine
  • Also don’t forget to mention textile decoration - 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 there are different 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 general characteristics: There is a big window in the living room, so it’s very light. (The living room has a large window, so it is very bright). And we talk about the 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 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 ones English words and phrases.

I also recommend watching a short video lesson on the topic “My room”

P.S. You can also find the text of this video lesson in the proposed PDF file under No. 1.

Good luck in all your endeavors! See you soon!

Each of us has our own idea of ​​the atmosphere, of the ideal home. We often brag to our friends about new and modern home acquisitions, talk about plans and dreams. Learning to write a description of a house in English is simply necessary, because this is one of the key points our life.

Some live alone, others with their parents or their own family. Some people like small apartments, where everything is in sight and at hand, while others prefer space. Based on this, we choose a place to live. Writing a house description in English is quite easy. First of all, you need to use introductory phrases about what home means to you. You can use proverbs, of which there are many on this topic, and express your point of view on them. Then gradually move on to the details: number of floors, rooms, location. If you want to create a topic “My dream house”, then use the same principle. You can add a few exotic details. For example, glass walls, a roof, whatever your imagination allows.

We invite you to study the description of the house, and then use this example to compose your own story.

First of all I must say that I am most concerned about the place where I live. It doesn't matter wheather my house is small or large, modern or old. The atmosphere is more important. It should be a place you want to stay and want to return to. I agree with the proverb: " East or West home is best". Your house must be a place where you can relax, come back with pleasure.

Now I’d like to say a few words about my house. So, I live on the outskirts of the town. It is rather far from the center of the city and what is more important it is far from traffic.

It is a terrace. There are 4 rooms on the ground floor. It is a living room, two bedrooms and a study-room. Also there is a large kitchen, a bathroom and a small enterance hall. We have all modern conveniences, such as heating, electricity, gas, hot and cold running water and a telephone. Of course we don’t have a chute.

Our living room is the largest one. There is a large window, a window-door, a TV set, a sofa, two armchairs and a fireplace. We like to gather together in winter here watching the fire and talking about everything. The kitchen is rather small. But there is everything that is necessary: ​​a round table, a cupboard, a refrigerator, a cooker. Also there is a big aquarium. I like to spend time in my bedroom. It is a big room where you can find a large bed, a wardrobe, a mirror and an armchair. Other bedroom is smaller. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a table and a chair. The computer and bookshelves are in the study. My bathroom provides me with convenience. There is a nice mirror, a rack for towels, a bath-tab and a basin. The entrance hall is small. There is a hall-stand and a mirror. The telephone is on a special table under the mirror. I try to keep my flat clean.

Of course, I am looking forward to improving my household conditions. I hope it is not in a distant future. I like my house. It is comfortable and cozy. Everything here is dear and precious to me. Many pleasant and happy moments of my life are connected with my home. I believe that the house starts to be the home when it is warmed by the people who live in it, isn't it?
