Refurbishing topic to involve furniture item as a direct consequence (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

ipso facto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for ipso facto that I've seen before include "therefore" , "Self-evidently; thereby" , "By that very fact" , "as a result" , "By that truth (Latin)" .)
