We brought many things with us even after downsizing our possessions. Had our house for a bit and knew the dimensions of each room so we knew what was going to fit, what wasn't needed. Many of the furniture pieces we brought were fairly new and the style we enjoy.

Once here, we bought a few new pieces to fill in the empty spaces. We have also replaced a few things since moving, but our "discards" were eagerly accepted by our son and his family.

If you know what size house you have and think you like the "style" of furniture you have, then bring what you want. If you want to start over, buy new, but do realize that some things might take a little while to be delivered. Either way, setting up a new household is lots of work, but it's FUN!
