household goods

Domestic wares collectively

Household goods are the furnishings, appliances, and other movable items that fill a home—furniture, kitchenware, linens, electronics.

The term appears most often in contexts involving relocation or insurance: The movers packed all our household goods.

In legal and commercial contexts, it distinguishes personal property inside a dwelling from the structure itself.
