furnishings
The entirety of the furniture, objects, textiles, and decorative elements with which a room or building is equipped.
Ihre neue Wohnung hat eine sehr stilvolle und moderne Inneneinrichtung.
Her new apartment has very stylish and modern furnishings.
The word is clearly composed of 'Innen-' (interior, referring to the inside of a building) and 'Einrichtung' (furnishing/design). 'Einrichtung' comes from the verb 'einrichten' (to furnish/set up/design), which means 'Möbel aufstellen' (to arrange furniture) or 'gestalten' (to design). 'Inneneinrichtung' (interior design/furnishings) is therefore everything that belongs to the design of interior spaces.
Die komplette Inneneinrichtung des Hotels wurde erneuert.
The complete interior furnishings of the hotel were renewed.
Whether the furniture or the activity is meant can often be recognized from the verb. Verbs like 'haben' (to have), 'gefallen' (to be pleasing/to like), or 'sein' (to be) refer to the furniture. Verbs like 'studieren' (to study), 'sich beschäftigen mit' (to deal with/be concerned with), or 'arbeiten als' (to work as) refer to the professional field.
Dieses Haus hat eine sehr teure Inneneinrichtung.
This house has very expensive furnishings.
When it is about the objects, 'Inneneinrichtung' (furnishings/interior design) is often combined with adjectives that describe the style. Typical examples are: 'eine moderne / klassische / gemütliche / minimalistische Inneneinrichtung' (modern / classic / cozy / minimalist furnishings).
Sie bevorzugt eine schlichte und minimalistische Inneneinrichtung.

'die Einrichtung' and 'die Inneneinrichtung' can both mean the furniture and other things in a room. 'Einrichtung' is more general and can simply say what an apartment or room is equipped with. 'Inneneinrichtung' sounds more specific when it is about the design of interior spaces, meaning furniture, colors, lighting, and decoration together. If you are only saying that an apartment has furniture, 'Einrichtung' fits. If the style or planning of a room is important, 'Inneneinrichtung' is more natural.
