underfurnished

Lacking adequate furniture

Underfurnished describes a space with too little furniture for its size or purpose.

An underfurnished apartment feels sparse or incomplete: The place was clean but underfurnished—just a mattress on the floor and a folding chair.

The term suggests inadequacy rather than deliberate minimalism.
