"The Bedroom"

The bedroom is my favorite room. The wall color is blue, which is my favorite color. it’s one snug bed that faces the window. Every morning, the sun shines through my window and wakes me up. 

I put my table for study and do my prep at the corner. Beside that table, there is a massive wardrobe wherever I place all of my garments. 

My father created the wardrobe on behalf of me as my birthday present. On the left aspect of the table, there’s a shelf wherever I place all of my favorite books. On the table, there’s a lamp, laptop, stationery, and notebook. although my room is tiny and straightforward, I notice it is terribly cozy.
