Question to everyone proficient in both Danish and English: How would you translate the Danish word "inventar"?

Pretty fluent myself, in all modesty, but I'm finding it hard to get any better than things like "decor" or "furnishings", neither of which feel entirely right (not to mention Google Translate's "inventory", which seems outright wrong)...
