Importing Furnitures.
Download your furniture models online.

Choose import.

Select the downloaded models.

Merge it with your file.

To be on the safe side, group your downloaded model together so that you can move it easily.

Rescale it to an appropriate size.

Arrange it in the space you want.

You can import as many furnitures as you like into your model but take note that it will increase your rendering time as well as increase your file size.

Making Windows
Using Boolean.

First, you choose the place where you want your window to be.

Make a box on that specific position with the correct width.

Then you drag it out or isolate it to ease your work.

Hold shift while you rescale the box slightly smaller than the original one and choose copy instead of ins

After that scale it out to have a bigger width than the original one.

Select the original box and go to compound object and select Boolean. Click on "pick operand B" and select the smaller box in the middle.

Then, you get your frame. For the glass, choose plane and place it in the middle of the frame.

Assign your material to the frame and the glass.

Group them together to ease your work.

Move it back to its space.

There you get your windows.
