Hi, According to the "Oxford Advanced Learner's dictionary", fittings (BrE) are items in a house such as a cooker, lights or shelves that are usually fixed but that you can take with you when you move to a new house. Can objects such as table lamps, rugs, mirrors, etc be considered fittings ? I suppose you might argue that a big mirror can be fixed to the wall, but how can a table lamp or a rug be fixed to something?

That was precisely what I wanted to know. What you're saying is that only things that are fixed to something can be considered fittings, right?
So, what do you call these objects - rugs, table lamps, mirrors, pictures... ?
