Home Furnishing
Home furnishing are furniture, fittings and decorative accessories that make our homes comfortable and beautiful. For example, wooden items like ;
- Chair – A common piece of furniture used for sitting.
- Table – Used for dining, studying, or as a place to keep other items.
- Bed Frame – The part of the bed that holds the mattress. Usually, the bed frame is wooden and can be found in the bedroom.
- Shelf – Used for storing or displaying items such as books, toys, or kitchenware. Shelves can be mounted on walls or stand alone in various rooms.
- Toy Box – Often used in children’s rooms to store toys, keeping the area neat and tidy. Wooden toy boxes are durable and can handle rough use.
In different rooms, we find specific furniture; such as;
Furnitures in the Bedroom:
- Bed – where we sleep.
- Wardrobe – where we store our clothes.
- Dresser – where we keep smaller clothing items and often a mirror on top for grooming.
