I just got my small, I am happy with a small, but there are certain things that could make them far better, Garden item slots, 20 is just not enough I scraped by to make a garden that fit my taste (no aetheryte or stable though not enough slots, but I have my neighbour on friend's list so I use theirs ) The interior, I do like what someone else mentioned about adding an upstairs instead of basement or how about a paid upgrade (gil) for a room upstairs, would still be smaller than a med, but an extra room is an extra room. This is the reason when I first started playing last year and saw the housing crisis I knew what would suit me was an FC house, that way I could add rooms to the house by levelling alts and each would give me an extra room which in total would mean a small house with an entry/shop area, a basement (tbh decided was going to be a bathhouse but I live right next to the spa in Ishgard so that idea is redundant) and then 8 rooms through the door in the shop so 10 room small house. For me it was honestly a stroke of luck that the lottery split the housing the way it did as small FC plots for the most-part had only one bidder. This is what 20 garden items looks like, it isn't much.
