Sorry to have missed your question earlier.

Typically, if you update by installing a newer version without removing the older one, your complete furniture libraries will be left unchanged.*

If you are moving to a new system or OS, or if you have some other need to uninstall the older version first, you can save all of your non-default furniture models in a Sweet Home 3D furniture library file (a .SH3F file) by using

Furniture > Export imported furniture to SH3F.

You can then import this library into your updated install of SH3D.

If you wish to modify or delete any of the furniture objects from this library prior to import, you can do so using the Sweet Home 3D Furniture Library Editor.

Oops! That dangling asterisk in my previous post should have led to this footnote:

Imported furniture, textures and plug-ins are not removed when you install a new version and when you uninstall Sweet Home 3D (if you want to delete them, see How can I uninstall Sweet Home 3D? in the FAQ).
In the case of the portable version, imported stuff won't move automatically and you may have to copy or update some data as explained in the README.TXT of the portable version.
In the case you are under Mac OS X and moved from the free version to the Mac App Store version, the folder where imported stuff is stored may have to be copied.

In case you need to move the imported stuff to an other computer (or backup it), read also this thread .
