'die Einrichtung' and 'das Interior' can both describe how interior spaces are designed or furnished. 'Einrichtung' is the normal German word and fits almost all everyday situations when talking about furniture and objects in a room. 'Interior' is an English loanword and sounds more strongly connected to design, architecture, or modern home magazines. The words can be confused because they often refer to the same rooms. When talking about your own apartment, 'Einrichtung' usually sounds more natural; 'Interior' fits better when the style and design are being emphasized.
