Option A (Easier)
The easier seeming of the two would be simply making it so players can quest for having multiple Mog House locations. You'd upgrade from having a Rent-a-Room in other cities, meaning that perhaps if you lived in Bastok, you could have another Mog House in Windurst, San d'Oria, Jeuno, Whitegate, and maybe any future cities with Mog Houses we visit in the future.
The way this would happen is by starting with a quest that "moves" you into Jeuno permanently (your home nation would remain the same, but it would now have a rent a room - this would be so you can change nations without worrying about furniture moving or whatever). This quest would probably require having a fully upgraded Mog Safe for progression. After this you'd have to quest a Mog House in each nation separately.
When you get a new Mog House, it has a brand new Mog Safe, and its own Mog Storage (which hopefully by the time this is implemented would be accessible from anywhere) dependent on furniture in your new house, that would be labeled with the city they are in (although you can only change furniture of the city you are in).
Now, for the Moghancements, you'd either get them all (no duplicates) from each of your Mog Houses, or, more likely, you'd have to select a Mog House to provide you with your Moghancement (something you'd probably be able to do inside the Mog House, or have to ask the Mog House NPCs outside your Mog House to do).
I feel this would solve many of the problems Mog Houses have, but you sadly would not be able to have multiple rooms in one house still...
Option B (Harder)
The harder of the two would be making it so players can upgrade their Mog Houses to have multiple rooms. You'd upgrade from having one room in your house, meaning that perhaps players would have to move somewhere if current Mog Houses aren't upgradeable. The Chocobo Circuit or perhaps somewhere with the new Seekers of Aldouin expansion could possibly be reasonable places for these new Mog Houses to be, although all storage and such would be accessible from old locations.
The way that would happen is by having a quest that upgrades your Mog House from having just one room, with more quests depending on how many rooms you expand to, or alternatively just upgrading the whole thing in one step. The quest would probably require a fully upgraded Mog Safe for progression.
When you get a new room, it would have a new Mog Safe with its own Mog Storage labeled by which room it is. For layout purposes, you'd have to pick which room you want to adjust before adjusting furniture.
For Moghancements, if getting all of them (no duplicates) wouldn't be feasible, you'd pick a room for your Moogle to hang out in, and this would be the room you get the Moghancement from.
Now, this idea still comes with the idea that there would be the no furniture carpeted areas in the center of each room with walls on each side (the House would be in a + pattern, with an intersection in the middle, and the fountain/fireplace/smoke/whatever fixtures at each end), but SE could conceivably go all out with a large room (although this would possibly ignore fixing the Mog Safe/Moghancement problems) or some other layout choice.
