Usage tips
Only in the singular
'Das Mobiliar' (the furnishings) is a collective term for all the pieces of furniture in a building. The word is used only in the singular and has no plural form.
EXAMPLE
Das gesamte Mobiliar der alten Villa wurde verkauft.
All the furnishings of the old villa were sold.
Verb in the singular
Although 'Mobiliar' (furnishings) refers to many individual objects, grammatically it is a singular noun. The associated verb is therefore also singular.
EXAMPLE
Das Mobiliar in diesem Hotel ist sehr altmodisch.
The furnishings in this hotel are very old-fashioned.
Register and style
The word 'Mobiliar' (furnishings) is more formal than the plural 'die Möbel' (furniture). It is often used in official contexts such as rental contracts, insurance, or real estate.

Compare with
Mobiliar vs Einrichtung
furnishings / institution / setup
'die Einrichtung' and 'das Mobiliar' both have to do with the objects in a room. 'Einrichtung' is a bit broader and often refers to the whole style of a room: furniture, lamps, rugs, and other things together. 'Mobiliar' mainly refers to the furniture and furnishings themselves. It sounds somewhat more formal and is often used when talking about the furniture present in a building. If you are describing the style of a home, 'Einrichtung' fits better. If you mean the furniture as inventory or property, 'Mobiliar' is more precise.
