Tibetan people are generally used to not using beds and chairs and stools. Generally, families put a circle of card mats along the wall by the window to form a horseshoe-shaped surrounding form, or put them at right angles along the two walls, and put a Tibetan table at the corner or in the middle of the horseshoe shape for family members or guests to sit around for tea and dinner. The card pad is covered with a beautiful colored punching card pad. The whole family use card mats when they lie down and sit up. The card pad is generally 31 cm high and about 1 m wide. It is made of thin canvas and filled with roebuck hair or dried soft grass. The card pad is soft and firm, and it is moisture-proof and warm. The punching mat is made of wool yarn or cotton yarn, which has the characteristics of precise knitting, bright color, rich national characteristics and durability.

Tibetan indoor furniture mainly includes cabinets and tables. The storage cabinet has a post for books, about 1.1 meters high, and the glass above is opposite to the door. Generally placed in the corner of the cushion. Qiagang (meaning double cabinets) must be paired, slightly higher than Bigang, and placed in the front of the house along the wall, with Buddhist niches placed on it.

Tibetan table is about 61 cm high, and it is a square with a width of 81 cm, with panels on three sides. There are two doors on one side, and the legs of the table are shaped like dog legs. Whether it is a cabinet or a table, the surface is painted with various patterns, animals, cranes, birthday stars and eight auspicious pictures, surrounded by patterns such as palindromes and bamboo knots, which are bright and moving and look very rich.
