Deco thread

Yes, I know housingsnap already exists — I want to see and share deco stuff with the forum community! Apartments, fc rooms, houses are all welcome. One-floors, three-floors. There's only one rule: please don't salt. We're here to show off our deco skills and houses, maybe even ask for some tips, not argue about how to fix housing.

Here are some shots from the Lala bakery my SO and I made which lasted about 5 minutes before I hated it and ripped it down:

And here's my girlfriend and I being very upset about how nothing is lala friendly:

My Ishgardian RP char's house loosely inspired from some Victorian country hunt houses w/e they're called:

And the current project, my SO's house, which is straight up 95% her ideas and stuff and 5% my placements lol:

Tbh same, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house for my family and I. My irl apartment's kitchen is awful, so I just make the kitchens I want in video games lol.

Both of the builds with the kitchens have been torn down but I could probably whip up a model kitchen in a short amount of time and just stick it in an apartment — which one do you want to see?

They're both actually quite easy to make. For the Ishgardian one, what matters most is the lowered ceiling (mine have floated beds in them to stop camera clipping) because it's what facilitates the cabinets which are floated Bread Racks, and the hanging lights over the table are floated manor candelabras with the candle bit totally hidden: the Eorzean Lantern is then aligned to the wide bottom of the manor candelabra because the size is roughly the same. Other than that, the counters are just hingan sideboards flipped around and the antique stove on the left is from this guide.

My personal has a clinic on Mateus, LB, ward 17, p51 that has a personal living area with a kitchen upstairs but it isn't anything special. Our FC is at Shiro ward 21 p43 though if you want to take a look. The FC house is a bit sparse upstairs; haven't really decided what to do with it yet but the open FC rooms are all different styles of yurts if you're into that.

i fear, i can not explain how to do it, but the used items are as follow:
Riviera Chair (3), door rivets
Glade Wardrobe (3), doorframe
Cask Rack (2), wooden door
Towel Hanger (1), door handle
Staggered Shelf (1), door handle

but i am more proud about the window *shrug*

This was my FC room back when I was on Tonberry. Unfortunately my Captain's Cabin no longer exists, but I still have many photos (and tried to parse this collection down to only the clearest ones).

It has a little sitting area near the door where I entertained many guests with wine and Triple Triad, a study just behind, and a partitioned off personal room.
Sometimes the room felt a little plain, but I was at the item cap so not much I could do there lol.
I like trying to give my rooms a unique shape, I hope you enjoy it.

Love your FC room! It's totally my to my taste and a very nice use of the moon phasmascape! Coincidentally I also decided to decorate my FC room using a phasmascape!

Here's what I did... sorta made it into an apartment-ish kind of space.

Understandable. My room is "efficient" but not especially roomy he he.

I'm curious what you used to skirt the bed to make it look like a platform bed!

I really like how you've arranged the space and used the decorations/items to best effect.

The bed is made of
4 white rectangular partitions (one behind and 3 around)
2 Double Feather beds
2 futon mattresses

the red lights are hingan lamps.

When you said FC room I assumed it was "private chambers". But if these are private chambers, I have to ask, how did you sink the rectangular partitions? If it's not private chambers then I would assume you floated it through the basement.

it is a private chamber in an FC house.
Using an addon that allows for placing items via coordinates, the room has no basement, most "glitch houses" are using an addon nowadays or certain things wouldn't even be possible.

you can also use "Mahogany Aqueduct" to wall of a bed, but doesn't look as smooth unless you go for the wooden texture.

Ah ty for the explanation. I didn't know such an addon existed!

considering that said 'addons' are illegal third party tools I strongly recommend removing mentions that you've used them lol

i'm aware of that, i have also spend enough hours glitching walls around the old fashioned way, its so cluncky and time consuming.
Too bad we can't have the good way to move furniture verticaly around by default, the game can do it, it's just not implemented, instead of spending two hours on some simple glitching it can be done in 2 minutes, also by using number inputs it allows for perfectly smooth and pixel perfect placement to look as good a possible, you're still limited by objects hitboxes however.
But even the best tool does not automaticaly mean you can build an amazing house, there is still a lot to learn regardless.

Revamped my fc room today to make an airship captain's private quarters. Was worried it would be too claustrophobic camera-wise since I lowered the ceiling by almost half, but it isn't too bad at all.
