How to use it

Amueblado means 'furnished' — used as an adjective to describe a property that already has furniture. It is the past participle of amueblar used attributively. The opposite is sin amueblar (unfurnished) or vacío (empty). At B1 amueblado is a key term in rental listings and conversations: busco piso amueblado, alquilo piso amueblado. In Latin American Spanish, the same form is used pan-Hispanically.

Common mistake

Note the ser vs estar question: a flat can be described as un piso amueblado (ser + adjective) in a permanent description, but the state-based use is estar amueblado (the flat is furnished right now). In rental listings, piso amueblado (with ser implied) is the standard. For the physical state, use 'el piso está amueblado'.
