Handle furniture and fixtures in Spanish confidently: la mesa ("table"), la silla ("chair"), el sofá ("sofa"), etc.
Note regional variants and synonyms to avoid confusion: el piso vs. el apartamento/el departamento; el frigorífico vs. la nevera/el refrigerador/la heladera.

As the popular Spanish expression of hospitality goes, mi casa es tu casa (“my house is your house”). This is a good phrase to keep in your back pocket if you’re planning on entertaining guests anytime soon, but why stop there? At some point, your visitors might ask if you have an extra chair available, or which room they can leave their coat in. You can also say hogar for home. You should probably learn how to accurately refer to various parts of the home in Spanish.
Below, you’ll find some of the most common Spanish casa words you’re likely to run into, together with audio pronunciation voiced by a native speaker.
Note: The asterisked words below are regional to Spain. In Latin America, the word for “apartment” is often el apartamento, and occasionally el departamento. Likewise, the word for “floor” in Latin America is el piso, and there are many other alternative words for “refrigerator” in Spanish-speaking countries, including la nevera (Spain), el refrigerador/la refrigeradora (Mexico/Latin America), and la heladera (Argentina and Uruguay).
