Why can't we place items on lofts?

[Jojoya]

I desperately wish this worked for me.. I feel so limited in my decorating.
I've read and watched every guide I can find. Finally I was able to float a bed.. but then when re-entering the room, it was on the floor again. I can't do anything to get them to stay.

I feel like my only option is for SE to give us a way to elevate items.

Different items have different height requirements they need to reach before they'll "stick" in place. It could be you didn't get the bed high enough.

But I think most of us would agree that it would be nice if SE would simply give us the ability to place items any where within the housing boundary like many of the other MMOs with housing have enabled for their players.
