Furniture & Decoration - Living Room / Dining Room
In a typical home, the 'sala de estar' (living room) is a cosy space for relaxation and socialising. Here are some common elements found in this room:
- O sofá (the sofa)
- 🪑 A mesa de centro (the coffee table)
- A poltrona (the armchair)
- 📖 A estante de livros (the bookshelf)
- 🪑 A mesa de apoio (the console table)
- O tapete (the rug)
- O candeeiro de pé (the floor lamp)
- Os quadros (the paintings)
- As cortinas (the curtains)
- As almofadas (the cushions)
- As plantas de interior (the indoor plants)
In Portuguese homes, the 'sala de jantar' (dining room) is typically used for meals, often sharing space with the living room and being simply called ‘a sala.’ Some furniture in a dining room may include:
- 🪑 A mesa de jantar (the dining table)
- As cadeiras (the chairs)
- O aparador (the sideboard or buffet)
- A cristaleira (the china cabinet)
- O espelho (the mirror)
- O candeeiro de teto (the chandelier or pendant light)
Learn the vocabulary and use it to share details about your space. Identify which items you have, and see whether you can name anything in your own room that is not on the list.
