Reading Passage
Rooms have a significant impact on how we feel. A bright and spacious room can make you feel energized and happy, while a dark or cluttered room might feel uninviting. For example, living rooms with warm lighting and comfortable furniture often feel cozy and welcoming.
Natural light is one of the most important features of a good room. Rooms with large windows are often more popular because they feel open and cheerful. The colors of the walls and furniture also play a role. Neutral tones create a calm and relaxing atmosphere, while bold colors can make the space lively and fun.
However, preferences vary from person to person. Some people love minimalist spaces with very little furniture, while others prefer rooms filled with decorations and personal items. When designing a room, it’s essential to consider both functionality and style to create a space that feels just right.
