Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Could we have rug-like objects that aren't actually rugs? Basically, things like steel plates or wooden planks so we can have different types of floor surfaces on the same floor. This seems like it'd be a simpler way to deal with it than having to change how flooring works.

I would love if they would allow us to add additions even for small houses, like say a loft above

Hey can we get some haukke manor torture devices for Furnishings?

I'd like some taller trees -- so far nothing is as tall as the palms, but it'd be nice to have some Uldah or deciduous Gridania-style trees that are also that height.

Also, some garden cactuses.

while kinda said before but some of the seasonal decorations spread around the cites would be an excellent addition to the crafting logs permanently or even if only through that time frame to add a little more rarity to them .. and please let us clothe our merchants menders etc they look like hobos sure if you going for the crawled out of the ditch look inside... but not with such nice furniture

I'd like to be able to use specific pieces of furniture both inside and outside.

For example, the most of the good looking flowers are indoor-only. Outside furnishings only have tiny little pots or the bizarre dungeon drop items that aren't really ideal.

There's also some outdoor tables and chairs that would look nice indoors and vice-versa.

It's probably a stretch but couldn't hurt. What about say you get X amount of blocks and you can shape your house differently with that limit depending the plot size obviously. Say someone wanted a larger main floor and basement instead of an upstairs in a med/large. Or a second floor instead of basement in a large. They could just move those "blocks" around and make one floor larger at the cost of making another floor smaller when first setting up the house before anything goes inside of it. Or in your case you remove part of one of the floors to add the loft.

^ Very good ideas Mandudez, i feel like housing should have expansion abilities if need be. I would gladly pay out of my own gil to expand our FC house

Hello, everyone.

If the nameplates on interactive furnishings have been getting in the way when arranging your house, rest assured knowing that the development team is looking into adjustments. They plan to add a furnishing-specific category for nameplate settings and would like to implement this sometime after patch 2.3.
