This is my bedroom.
The door is white and the walls are blue. Right next to the window stands my bed, small but clean. Above the bed, there hangs a white lamp. On the other side of my bed, there is a bedside table and a desk. The computer on the desk is new. On the shelves above the desk are my books and some other stuff. In front of the desk is a blue chair. Against the wall opposite the window is a wardrobe, where I keep my clothes.
