Certain items can fall into both categories depending on how they are used. “Fixtures” are items that can be moved but have been attached to a house. Examples of fixtures include appliances, ceiling lights, and window dressing. With other items, it can be even less clear, such as the ones you mentioned. When you buy a house, you also get the fixtures, but determining what is a fixture can be tricky. A bathroom mirror that is glued to the wall is clearly a fixture, but a framed mirror hanging from hooks is questionable. When a dispute occurs, the court will look at the specifics of each situation, along with the intent of the buyer and seller, to decide whether something is a fixture.
