The word sensible is usually used to modify a person. H ere I think sensible may be used to describe the furniture, means the furniture is well placed in the house, am I right?

No, it can equally well be used to modify things, concrete or abstract. A sensible hat, a sensible car, a sensible choice, a sensible plan, a sensible approach to a situation. It just means pragmatic, level-headed, etc, but it has a particular meaning when applied to objects, especially things that are bought or chosen such as clothes, furniture, cars, houses, etc (see (2) below)

Depending on context, one might interpret "sensible" furniture as being dull, ugly, unfashionable, unexciting, boring, etc.
