Hi, would appreciate your help on term 'mueble auxiliar'. I know what 'auxiliary furniture' is but need a nice term to fit in with the promotional material of a carpentry/woodwork company which is saying
'we can do anything from providing you with a 'mueble auxiliar' to completely refurbishing your home' - more or less!
Thank you
Anne

a single piece of furniture
I think this would fit better in the context. I really not sure that the others could be used in your sentence there...and it gets the meaning across I think!

ancillary piece of furniture
or just "for untensils". (co)adjuvant is a bit bookish, subservient, helpful, user-friendly. (helpful and ancillary are used in furniture business internationally, I know it from my own experience for sure).
I hope that might help.
Good luck, AnneM!

a small piece....
I think your context is saying, although we can completely refurbish your house, no job is too small! Basically consider us for any woodwork/carpentry requirement you have.

so, I would suggest: a small piece/single piece of furniture to..
