The floor in my room is covered with wall-to-wall carpeting. I love my bedroom, it's very cozy and warm. Probably my flat isn't ideal to someone's mind.

My room is not just a place where I can relax, it is also a place where I can work! There are many large and exotic plants. It creates a special atmosphere here. I love traveling and soccer, so on the walls in my room there are a lot of pictures and posters of footballers or different countries.
