Home and Furniture Vocabulary
Home and furniture vocabulary is the lexical foundation for talking about where you live: kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, study, hallway for rooms; sofa, armchair, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bookshelf, fridge, cooker for furniture and appliances. The collection also covers high-frequency prepositions (on the floor, in the corner, next to the window, opposite the door) needed for describing position. Together, these form the vocabulary every A1–A2 learner needs to describe their home — and to handle the rental, hotel, and accommodation conversations real life demands.
This worksheet builds A1–A2 fluency with home-and-furniture vocabulary in describing-and-comparing contexts.

Common challenges: British/American splits trip up learners — flat (UK) vs apartment (US), wardrobe (UK) vs closet (US), cooker (UK) vs stove (US). False friends from German: Garderobe is cloakroom or hallstand, not wardrobe. Plural-vs-singular: furniture is uncountable (no a furniture, two furnitures).
For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR A1 to A2, in beginner and pre-intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. Home vocabulary is heavily tested in Cambridge A2 Key (KET) Speaking Part 1 and informal-email Writing. Part of the Everyday Life & People collection — the natural next step is Daily Routines Vocabulary, which extends the home setting into action-based language.
