I've created a house-rule spell for animating objects such as furniture, etc.

ANIMATE OBJECT (T): The caster gives temporary life to weapons, chairs, and other dead or inanimate objects. The objects animated can move about under the wizard’s direct control or can mindlessly follow “preprogrammed” instructions (e.g. stand by a doorway and attack anything that tries to go through). The DX of the animated object is 2 points less than the wizard’s own DX – unless the Game Master rules that the object is incapable of having a DX that high. The ST of the object depends on the amount of ST the caster invests in the spell (1 per 5 ST given to the object).

p.s., the animation can be made permanent by using in the application of a Lesser Enchantment.
