Explanation

We use position phrases to say where things are in a room. Useful phrases are on the left, on the right, in the middle and on the wall. We also say next to: The desk is next to the window. Look at the picture from the front. The bed is on the left. The desk is on the right. The chair is in the middle of the room. The mirror is on the wall. We say: On the left, there is a bed.
