German Vocabulary: Talk About The Home & Furniture

This world is a world full of home-sweet-homes. These are the places where you keep memories alive and burning. No matter where or what the place you call home is, there is something about it that makes it special.

Maybe it’s that corner spot on the couch that’s always perfectly comfortable for binge-watching movies. Or maybe it’s that cozy kitchen that always makes freshly baked cinnamon rolls smell like a magical holiday morning. You know best what makes your home feel right.

On a separate note, do you happen to know how to talk about the home in German? Just the basics—nothing fancy—like how to say the kitchen, the living room, or even the refrigerator.
