Etymology

The word 'refurnish' comes from the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back', combined with 'furnish', originating from the Old French 'furnir', meaning 'to supply' or 'to provide'. The concept of furnishing a space dates back centuries, as homes and public spaces have always been designed to accommodate human needs. Refurnishing implies not just the basic act of adding furniture but also an enhancement or a renewal of the living environment. The use of 'refurnish' dates back to at least the 19th century, during which time interior design began gaining recognition as a profession. Throughout the years, the practice of refurnishing has evolved, reflecting changes in design trends and lifestyles, ultimately leading to a more personalized approach to space management.
