This study investigates the possible influence of ethnicity on U.S. consumer unit (CU) home furnishings expenditures. Using detailed CU expenditure data from the 2001 Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX), annual and quarterly data were analyzed through profile analysis and Tukey post hoc comparisons to determine ethnicity effects and mean expenditure differences on durable and nondurable home furnishings expenditures among African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Native American CUs. Study results suggest that there is an ethnicity effect associated with aggregate home furnishings expenditures for both durables and nondurables as well as for 11 out of 13 categories of home furnishings. Findings further suggest that the flux in ethnic composition of the U.S. population and a variety of consumer motivations, perhaps including a new emphasis on fashion, may be influencing consumer expenditures on home furnishings
