Hello, I have downloaded furniture files and want to put them into my scene. However, im not sure what the best way is.... Do I references them in, or use the merge command. I will be accessing the file from different computers rather than one if that helps, and would rather keep the file size down.
cheers

I would recommend merging the furniture in.  You may find you want to adjust the geometry or materials later, and it would be easier to do that in the file you are working with.
