refurnishes

Replaces home items

Refurnishes means to furnish again—replacing or updating the furniture and fixtures in a space.

Someone refurnishes a room, apartment, or office when the existing furnishings are worn, outdated, or no longer suit the purpose: She refurnishes the guest bedroom every few years.

The word implies more than rearranging; it suggests acquiring new pieces.
