(furnishing) accessories
The complete term is "complementi d'arredo", meaning all the accessories which are not floors, walls, wallpapers, coatings etc.
For example, bathroom accessories, like soap holder, paper holder and the like..., but also other stuff...
I leave it medium because I'm sure you'll find out something better...
