Furniture is the mass noun for the movable objects ('mobile' in Latin languages) intended to support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, to hold objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or to store things. Storage furniture such as a nightstand often makes use of doors, drawers, shelves and locks to contain, organize or secure smaller objects such as clothes, tools, books, and household goods. (See List of furniture types.)

Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose. Domestic furniture works to create, in conjunction with furnishings such as clocks and lighting, comfortable and convenient interior spaces. Furniture can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be made using a variety of woodworking joints which often reflect the local culture.

What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair?
Q. What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair? I have an Australian shepherd and two cats. I want to get microfiber furniture (the cats are not declawed). I want to know is this the most durable fabric for my money? Also, what color should I pick so pet hair won't really be too noticeable? I can't really prevent the animals from getting on the couches because they sleep on it at night and during the day when I am at work. So: Best fabric? Best color? Cleaning suggestions? Also, I do not want to put a furniture cover over the couches. Thanks.

A. One good hint of advice---Get a pet throw (couch blanket) for the areas they sleep on, it'll save the furniture. Also a miracle brush to get fur off easily. The blanket can be washed as needed, and a second blanket may be needed to cover all the couch if the dog is up there too. I'd rather get fur on the blanket which is replaceable, than woven into the furniture cushions. Best color? I'll say gray. I've got a medium brown and things show up on it. Black or white would show fur like crazy. Plaid is ugly, but will disguise the fact some fur is on it. A loose weave is the worst for cats, it encourages them to dig claws in. A tight weave like most 'furry' upholstery fabrics is pretty good.

A. Go into a furniture store with a cameraman so that it looks like you are making a television programme. Tell them you are decorating a business premises for someone who has recently had a lot of health problems or make up some other hard-luck story, and they may lose their business due to the stress. They will be willing to donate to a 'good cause' on 'television', and you'll be happy knowing that they are feeling good because they think they're helping this person. This may be fraud, i'm not sure, I wouldn't do it, but it will work if you play it well.
