details in sherlock& #39;s room, a thread
above sherlock& #39;s bed there& #39;s a judo certificate (the photo is not an exact copy). this is a reference to the books, in which he does bartitsu (another martial art)
on the wall there is an anatomical drawing of a bee, from "Leben und Zucht der Honigbiene" (the life and breeding of the honeybee) by Oskar Krancher, which suggests that sherlock can speak german, and likes bees (in the original books he becomes a bee keeper once he retires)
above the bookshelf you can see a cd player, most likely a BeoSound 9000, usually retailed for about £1200, which you can see in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oeRMiK8sNg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
there& #39;s a frame picture of Edgar Allan Poe above the drawers. he influenced the creation of the original books, with ACD stating "Where was the detective story until Poe breathed the breath of life into it?". It could also refer to his poems, suggesting sherlock enjoys poetry.
another item suggesting sherlock reads poetry is the bust on his shelf, which is most likely of Goethe, who wrote poems, novels, memoirs and other forms of literature. he also wrote about anatomy, which would further imply sherlock reads his work.
also on the wall is both a photo of Mendeleev, who invented the periodic table, and an early version of the periodic table that he designed. this is reference to the fact that sherlock is a graduate chemist (which we learned in a sign of three) and enjoys chemistry
also reference to sherlock& #39;s interest in chemistry is a modern day periodic table on the wall near his door
sherlock& #39;s room also joins onto the (only known) bathroom in 221b, which has a glass door (so much for privacy...)
we briefly see sherlock& #39;s other set of drawers, which has a fencing sword above it, along with a lamp, figures of what seem to be dogs, a small golden structure that could likely be a telescope, and other unidentifiable objects (if you know what they are please let me know lmao)
sherlock& #39;s bedside lamp is most likely from Alfred Müller
sherlock has a similar frame of bugs and other creatures and animals to the one seen in the living room above the fire place
sherlock& #39;s alarm clock is from audiovox
and that& #39;s it for now! if find any more details i& #39;ll add them on here, and feel free to correct me or add anything on yourself :)

in conclusion: sherlock loves bees, dogs and poetry, listens to music in his room and reads detective stories <3
