I have a whole thread about this. In short, because of IRL stuff (among things that happened: lost job and computer went putz) I was not able to log in but still paid my subscription keeping my account active.

Option to go straight from FC house front door to main hall/workshop/private room would be nice. Cut out a loading screen.

Option to set items/NPCs as usable for everyone who enters my house/apartment/room would be cool too.

Now, we have relocation option for housing. I suggest we should have this option for Apartment too.

I'll be honest, I forget I have an apartment most days. I meant to make it more of an office/study area but my house takes up a lot of my time and gil.

But anyway, yeah, not sure why there isn't a system like that in place already. Apartments would probably be even less of a strain on the servers to relocate. This has my full support simply because I like more options. Wouldn't mind maybe putting my apartment in Shirogane either. Currently it is in Mist.

I want a box of Spriggan chocolates (no mat) and a spriggan cake (no mat). And make this plea once more, please stop with the placemats under food, they're too big for a lot of surfaces and don't always go with our color schemes!

I second the no mat option. Those placemats can be obnoxious, especially the large ones.

I'm sure this has been requested a few times, but:
-A chest for the house that can be shared account-wide. It'd be nice to share equips/glams between characters, since we can't friend ourselves. Keep it at a limited amount so retainers will still be a thing, (and they always, always will be.) but it would be nice to not have to ask someone to hold onto something while I switch characters.

-The ability to share housing with our other characters! Want to help solve housing? Say I have 3 characters on Tonberry with a house in Mist whichever ward. Let the character who bought the house share the main settings with the householder. That way, if I'm set up to play an alt for a time, I won't lose my housing.

-More indoor plants, please! I love flowers and colors!

-Small fountains for indoor and outdoors would be very nice, please.

-Rubber chocobos for the baths. Because. Reasons.

I would love a thin partition that's angled at the top to fit under the staircases and can be dyed like the white partition. Right now I've got a bathroom in my stairwell and I ended up using 9 Hingan Scrolls to make a wall without clipping into the stairs above.

I like some of the placemats but some are much too big.

I'd rather they make decorative versions of the food items and let us dye the placements.

I would like the Pazuzu altar to be toggleable off or on permanently.

Not sure if it's been stated yet, but could we get the ability to angle paintings on the wall to not be level. It'd be a nice touch to have the option to make them just a little off center and uneven.

not sure if anyone said this cause there's now over 200 pages of posters but...

I'd love if they just added a new indoor housing option called "Minion setting" that allows you to set a Minion (either a set one from your collection or whatever you currently have out) to wander around your home whenever you enter and maybe have a "minion Station" where the Minion will occasionally jump onto and stay there if its close enough so it looks like its interacting with the things around it.

also some generic weapon displays and racks, like what we see in some of the GC related areas

After decorating my house there are a few things i'd like to see either changed or put into the game, i suggest the following.

* Lockable interactive walls (the arrow is annoying)
* lockable food items - the abilitity to take off the interactive mode (just to have them as a item, not to be used)
* add drinking glasses / cups to use a table top item
* being able to dye house walls!!!!!!
* add levels into a house to make it bigger
* lock housing plants - turn off the interactive option

By giving the option to turn on/off inetractive features on housing items will help towards the glitch that makes things vanish due to the limit being reached.
I like alot of people use food/wine/plants to make my house seem more lifelike and not to use them, but the interactive glitch makes it annoying when things just vanish.

Agreed, also Beer mug/steins to complete my bar.

Also the ability to pose housing NPCs, such as put them in a sitting position.

Doors. Literally one door that isn't paper and it clashes with every style of partition of which there is one for each style of house from the first three wards, but for doors there is only mahogany.

Mahogany is nice, but it looks horrible with the glade, oasis, or any partition.

Also a preview feature for housing items like how you can try on gear. Much more convenient than having to search through the housing site or simply taking a risk if it's something I'm making and realize it just doesn't fit anywhere.

This isnt so much a request for a specific item but more a general appeal:

If you create furniture with a certain theme, please include the full set!
What do I mean by that?
Basically what we've got with the Oasis, Rivera and Glade (and to an extend Hingashi) styled furniture - bed, chair, armchair, sofa, table, desk, several type of wardrobes/cupboards... if you want you can decorate your whole house in one of those styles.

And then there are furnitures that are almost there - we got an aweful lot of Carbuncle stuff, certain Slyph-themed pieces and some Tonberry furniture. But non of those allows you to fully decorate your home in that one style!
Biggest offender being the missing Tonberry chairs - we've got a table, but no chairs (and sure, you can put the armchair and the sofa next to it, but...)
So please... I'd love to see more types of themed furniture - some silly, creature inspired things, some more elegant or down to earth (I'd really like to see some Ishgardian furniture) - but please: Full sets only!

I know matching and mixing and coming up with combos can be fun! I enjoy it a great deal myself!
But its also frustrating having to come up with a replacment for something that should be there - like a table to fit the chairs or a bed to fit the rest of your homes style.
I'd really like to see more full furniture sets being released (and by that I mean: Being released as full sets from the start!)

Here is a list of items I feel are missing from the existing sets - with the plea to release full furniture-sets right away in the future!

Tonberry:
- Chairs
- Cupboard
- Desk

Slyph:
- Bed
- Sofa
- Armchair
- Rug
- Floor/Tabletop lamp

Manor:
- Bed
- (Dining) Table
- "Comfy" chairs (you can actually see those in the Manor)
...we've got an aweful lot of Manor-stuff already so the missing bed seems especially weird to me

Basically a full set of moogle-themed furniture - we're having a few pieces already (rug, plushie, lamp, sofa...) but are missing more or less everything.

I would like indoor swimming pools and glamour dressers for private and fc housing.

I love this idea! Mixing and matching is a lot of fun, but I agree it's very frustrating when you're following a general theme and just can't quite get it to work because the right pieces aren't there.

Oh my god yes please give us swimming pools inside! Or heck just a hot spring I can drop as a bath house! <3

Don't involve a horrific grind like getting manor varnish or fine wax and sign me up.

We don't have a full Alpine (Ishgard) set, either.

Clear/see through door/window partitions.

I suppose this would be a good area for a housing suggestion.

SE - Would we be able to utilize a screenshot feature to customize our own paintings? It's great if we could create our own vistas, clear party photos of raid groups etc., that mean a lot to each player, much like how people keep photos or print photos IRL. While of course if we left it up to any image, players would post both acceptable and not acceptable images, hence why I figure SE could limit it to in-game screenshots only, or a particular game folder. Some of us have great graphic options enabled, run at 4K, etc., and so it would be really cool to add this to personalize our individual or FC housing.

I really want to be able to place items on the troupe stages, and including fitting railing pieces and stairs would be very nice. It doesn't have to be all flat :)

Lighting for different floors. Try to have a different atmosphere on each floor, but adjusting lighting effects the whole house. Would it really be hard to have a slider for lightning for each floor, so you could have max brightness on one floor, minimal on another, none on another if you have a third floor or whatever?

I'm not sure if it's been suggested, but I would love to see more beast tribe housing NPCs in the future! Specifically moogles. We have moogle houses, SOMEONE is using those tiny side doors....

And Namazu, so we can put them in pots.

Make moogle houses even more cursed why don't you?

Instead of making them interactive-objects, could we get a separate system to apply wallpapers to Blank Partitions?
With only having a limit of 40 interactive-items before items start to disappear, using the partitions to make separate rooms and/or cover walls and pillars really adds up.
It could be like the Furniture Dying system where we select the Partition we want to apply wallpaper to, select which wallpaper in our inventory we want to apply, and boom, it's done.
(Also, please add the white wood planks on the Blank Partitions that don't have wallpaper on them as a wallpaper, I like the look. >w> )

Ability to choose the flooring by sections and not entire floor. i.e. One flooring type for the upper landing. Another for either side room.
More Craftable rugs that can be places side-by-side giving the impression that smaller rooms have different flooring than the area outside them.
Give wallpapers 20 charges (or whatever the default number of segments between wall pillars in a house is). Keep the materials to craft the same. Then--
--Wallpapers can be applied in bulk and consume all charges to fill a floor like it is now - but charges can also be spent individually allowing us to have full control on what outer wall face has what design. Allows for smaller side-rooms to display a different wallpaper than the area outside them. Also removes need to make the house "smaller" by placing partitions around the edge and applying wallpapers per partition. No more wasting item limits on needless partitions.
Ability to change the color of moulding/pillars.
Pillars are given their own "remodel interior" functionality allowing us to replace all the pillars with our desired theme.
Ability to remove default ceiling lights and/or ability to place ceiling lights where we want.
Ceiling lights turn off during the day.
Brightness controls split into options for each 6 hour slot.
Partitions that match the size of the upper rooms (instead of being 2.4 partitions wide)
More doors.
Toggle/craftable doors for the upper room entrances.
Imitation windows able to be places over (and hide) default windows.

I'd like to see the interior windows be it in your personal rooms/apartments or housing be changeable with the crafted windows or just other options like windows we see in the Inn rooms for example. The arched windows in the Carline Canopy inn rooms are gorgeous yet we can't even use them. Same goes with the builtin wall features like the wardrobes or just shelving we've seen in all inn rooms. I'd honestly like to have these little nooks that we saw in the inn in Kugane as one example or even the long shelf in the Canopy room where the pots sit. Also! Curtains! Please give us curtains that we can open and close.

It would be nice if we could raise pets! I would raise loads and loads of cats and be that crazy cat lady neighbour in shirogane MUAHAAHAHA

Ooo what about being able to have your minions roam around your home? Like they can be hanging out around in different spots of your house/room. You can pick which minion it is from your menu rather than have them follow you around they'd just be doing their own thing in the house with you still being able to interact with them with feeding or petting them.

Can we get a icon next to interactable items when you are in the housing menu/list? Seeing as there is a limit to how many you can have in your home before things start vanishing, this would help to keep tabs on them easier.

-being able to pick your own window style and placement/height.
same with lights. chandaliers are static at the moment. we cant adjust positioning of chandaliers to say, fit under a loft made with troupe stages.
-Or give us the option to remove/overlap the standard windows so we can use the regular walls, instead of working around them with partitions to place the windows we want (again by glitching) saving us itemsslot. we all know even a few items can make a difference.
-Or just add Horizontal partitions. so we can make a loft easier without having to use glitches.
-Stairs, to reach our loft. it was a nightmare to make them with shelfs and cussions and get them to work....
-adjustable light setting per floor.
-being able to place piano/cello/musicstand on stages. see 3th link
-glamour dresser for private estate/fc

-also more styles of paths (outdoor furnishing) now we are very limited in what sort of path we have towards our houses. bricks/gravel
-replaceable awning, i want mine over the front door. theres not much u can place underneath it. and matching with wood/composite/stone buildings.

but this is my small house, omega - lavender beds - 11th ward plot 22

Just droping by to say the new Southern Kitchen is amazing. It was something I've been asking since the contest and I'm glad it was implemented.

- More styles of "deluxe" beds - and please, make the existing oasis / riviera / glade beds dyeable!
- a vanity w/ mirror (even if it isn't functional.)
- more clutter items! That new overflowing cabinet is amazing. Items that make a space look lived-in are great.
- "Workshop" items, tools, machinery parts, etc - items for various professions (DoL / DoH) and Jobs.
- The new interdimensional flowers are amazing. Can we have more non-interactive flowers like this? (more shapes / styles / colors of potted flowers! Ones that hang from the wall, dyeable ones, etc!)
- More sizes / shapes / styles of fake windows
- More placeable doors not attached to a particular style of partition. Pocket doors! (could would like the hingan / oriental doors)
- Tiffany-style glass lamps, delicate crystal chandeliers
- White-washed board wallpaper, greater variety of wallpaper shades / styles / patterns.
- More portraits! Scenes of life from around the realm, parodies of famous classical works of art, etc.

Miniatures for more bosses! I'd love to add Ravana and Thordan to my collection.

This has been suggested before, but why can't we change the garden terrain?
https://i.imgur.com/F9JvzlY.png
My house in Goblet with the Shirogane small castle style would love for this type of terrain..

Why does every single outdoor garden has to have the grass terrain? Considering these textures exist in the game, and they differ from the roads and such maps of the housing area, having it as an additional option for houses wouldn't be out of place to ask for.

(Maybe have this terrain for shirogane castle walls projects pleaaase?)

Akin to the blank partitions we can wallpaper, I would love to have large thin floor tiles that could be "papered" with the different floor coverings. It would help offset the lack of rug options and allow for creation of things like defined dance floors that aren't excessively raised off the ground like the stages are. Ideally they'd be about as thick as a Zabuton Cushion and come in a variety of shapes (square, round, rectangle, roughly 50% larger than the largest existing rugs in those sizes).

More rugs in general would also be nice, especially long narrow carpet runners.

I want to design and build my OWN furniture...my own everything.

Its time to evolve SE.
Please refer to Rift and countless other mmos to replicate this.

So, an idea I had was a restaurant and take out idea. Like go to a table with a menu for food - you buy it but it has a wait time to sit and interact. Or go to an NPC at a counter for a buy and go style. All of these are crafted so limited amount. The difference between buying at the restaurant and the Market Board is that it would have the FC "Meat and Mead" bonus on it...and it stacks with your own. The wait one has the better bonus. Maybe allow the Market Board to advertise it - like FC House items tab that you can reserve and it tells you where to go. Maybe even a "meal" purchase that has several crafted items to buy in one go for say a party.

I just really want some practical items in the house, like storage chests. We already have Company Chests, it would be nice to have some standard chests that I can store items into, wardrobes that I can put armor into, seed cabinets that I can store gardening seeds into, and shelves that I can store actual crafting materials into. 80% of my inventory is filled with crafting material and my Retainers are a UI mess of armor sets, materia and crafting materials. I wish I could use my house to organize this system. And it would be great if I were crafting in my house, that it would automatically link my stored crafting materials to the item I'm trying to craft. I know the Moogles at Bahrr Lehs have a in-game model of a shed with tons of materials stored under it, they could just re-use that asset.
It would also be great if beds had the same log-out function as the beds in the inns have.
