Answer 1

I cannot do your work for you but I can give  you some tips. Close your eyes and describe the room to yourself, then type it in word. There you can use a thesaurus to give you the adjectives you are looking for. Good luck!

Answer 2

I call BS!! You type English just fine. Do your own homework.

Answer 3

When describing something, try to avoid words that are just synonyms of "good" or "bad".  eg Instead of "delicious", do not use "scrumptuous" or "delightful" but actually describe the flavour.  eg was it spicy, salty, bittersweet etc..

Now with your room, only you can do that because only you are there.  Go through the senses one by one.  Sight - an overall impression of it (is it messy, neat etc?), then pick out the most notable features (eg the piano) and describe them.  You don't need to go into detail of every little thing, only the ones that dominate the scene.

Sound - Is it noisy or quiet?  What kind of sounds do you often hear there?  Can you hear a TV, or music, or the sound of kids, or neighbours doing the lawn?  Does anyone ever play that piano or does it sit silent?

Smell / Taste - Obviously the living room doesn't taste of anything, so don't worry about that one.  Smell is probably the most important one for capturing the feel of a place though.  A hint - you don't need to actually be able to smell something to use that smell in your description.  Saying a room smells of dust conveys a certain feel, regardless of whether you actually smell dust.  Do people eat there often?  Then perhaps it smells of TV dinners.  Do animals run through the house?  It smells of cat hair.  Does your mother clean it every day?  It smells of disinfectant.  You can put what you see or know about the space into a description of a smell.

Touch - think in terms of textures of individual objects.  What kind of floor covering is there?  Carpet (rough, fluffy, scratchy etc), or wooden boards (hard, smooth, cold).  Your sofa would also be a good thing to describe in terms of texture.
