The ravens of Hogwarts rest their wings here in the Ravenclaw Tower, which is furnished in a light and airy manner. The couches are soft shades of blue and the curtains are made of silk. Like the Great Hall, the roof of the Ravenclaw tower is enchanted to match the sky outside. Bookshelves and bookcases are lined throughout the common room for students to read and sharpen their wits. After all, as their founder, Rowena, says: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure". And Ravenclaws need to have wit, or else they won't be able to enter their own common room which requires a riddle instead of a password. In some ways it makes it easier than other common rooms to infiltrate but at the same time harder.
