Frequently Asked Questions
Common office furniture vocabulary includes bookshelf or bookcase, table lamp, coat closet or coat rack, sideboard, office chair, writing desk and filing cabinet. These are everyday terms you will hear when describing a workspace or study area, so learning them early helps you talk about where you work and store documents and books.
A sofa bed and a sleeper sofa both fold out so a couch doubles as a place to sleep, which makes them useful for guests. A settee is a small upholstered seat for two or more people that stays a seat and does not unfold into a bed. A loveseat is a similar compact two-person sofa.
Window types include the circle window, hexagon window, half moon window and triangle window named by their shape. You also have the screen, single or double hung window, single and double casement windows, the large fixed picture window, and sliding patio doors that open onto a garden or balcony.
A cot or crib is a small bed with high sides for a baby or young child, and the words are often used interchangeably depending on the region. A cradle is a smaller rocking bed for a newborn.
