The term ‘furniture’ refers to a moving object used to support human activity in a constructed environment. However, it can also be used more widely to refer to installed objects and equipment.
Furniture tends to be a type of craft-based design that can be functional, decorative, symbolic, ceremonial, and so on. Many different materials are used in the manufacture of furniture, the most common; wood, metal, plastic, fabric, leather, and so on.
Furniture is subject to frequent fashion changes, and tastes for furniture can vary from person to person.
Some of the main types of furniture include:
- Furniture for sitting
- Furniture for eating or working
- Furniture for sleeping
- Furniture for storage
- Garden Furniture
- Street furniture
Furniture can be grouped together with other components as furniture, appliances and fittings. Furniture, appliances and fittings may be acquired separately for major construction contracts (or their elements), primarily by customers who already have systems for obtaining fixed and loose furniture, fittings and equipment; for example a school, university, or hospital.
Interior designers are often associated with specific furniture, analyzing how space is used and the best way to design with the most appropriate object, given its functionality, aesthetics, space efficiency, distribution requirements, and so on. For more information, see Interior design
The Furniture and Decoration (Fire Safety) Regulations determine the need for fire resistance for home furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery. These Regulations are enforced by the Trade Standards.
