Furniture includes movable objects like chairs, tables, beds, and cabinets that make a room useful and comfortable. It helps people sit, sleep, store things, and work.
“Furniture” comes from French “fourniture,” meaning “equipment or supplies,” from “fournir,” meaning “to furnish or provide.” It originally referred to all kinds of equipment, not just household items.
The furniture in a room silently controls how people move, talk, and even feel—soft couches invite relaxing, while hard chairs push people to stay alert. Designers sometimes call furniture “the architecture you can move.”
