ᐅ Take old/previous furniture to the new house or start completely fresh?

When I see photos of interior furnishings of houses here in the forum, I often get the impression, "Oh, everything looks so nice and new." Does anyone also bring old/previous furniture with them, or is almost everything replaced? My husband and I will be taking all our old/previous furniture with us. Is that still common nowadays, or is it considered strange in some way?

We took everything with us. Only a few new shelves were purchased for the library and the pantry. Otherwise, many of our furniture pieces have surrounded us for years, and we don’t want to be without these cherished items.

I don’t think so at all. We have a mix of old and new. We already had items that we still like and that are also high quality. Basically, we took everything except for a few small pieces of furniture and built-in units.

Since we now have significantly more space, we “had to” buy additional items.

When I moved to a larger apartment recently, I also replaced or added some furniture. Either because the old pieces didn’t fit the space or simply because there was more room available. I can also imagine that people might replace basic “starter” furniture from their first own apartment with higher-quality items when their budget allows.

We took almost everything with us. The new house is also significantly larger than the old one, so we still needed a few new items. The old living room cabinet was moved to the hobby room and provides storage space, and so on.
I also find it quite cozy. Being surrounded only by new furniture in a new house would probably have felt too unfamiliar for me after the move.

Of course, you keep what is still in good condition and fits in the new house. The rest will be newly purchased, especially since there is often more space available in the new house.
