home furnishings

Interior design items

Home furnishings are the items that make a living space functional and comfortable—furniture, curtains, rugs, bedding, lamps, and decorative objects.

The term appears most often in retail contexts: the home furnishings department, a home furnishings store.

It encompasses both practical necessities and decorative touches, everything beyond the bare walls and floors.
