Danish term or phrase: Inventar
The text concerns sliding doors and "inventar" refers to the rest of the furniture (apart from the sliding doors), i.e. the sides and backs. I have found the term to be called "interior modules" or "interiors" but these terms seem to have very limited application, mostly in Scandinavia.

Can then "inventar" be translated generically as "furniture" or "furnishing" and is there a separate term for this in English?

Examples:
Uanset hvilket inventar, der vælges, får dine kunder et skydedørsskab i ubestridelig kvalitet.
Inventar fås i 5 forskellige farver!

furniture, fittings, furnishings, equipment, fixtures can all be used to translate inventar, depending on the context. From what you write, I would probably choose fixtures.
