Also, some new Phantasmascapes (preferably without the weird screen effect you have on most of them):
-The sky with different weather (clear and blue, cloudy, thunderstorm, starry night, etc)
-Beach/ocean scene
-Forest scenes from the Shroud, Lakeland, and Rik'tika
-Desert scenes from Thanalan and Amh Araeng

This +1
I don't use phasmascapes because of the weird screen/ lines and the smoke animations
Wonderful suggestions as well

I recently had a discussion with some serious house decorating-savvy friends and we agreed that having a phantasmascape with different weather conditions would be nice. However, it should be a single item that you can interact with and choose the weather you want displayed, so that way you have more control for the sake of immersive RPing on servers who actually care/want that kind of control. I hope they make something like this in the future for sure.

Apart from that, we did discuss some other furniture we wanted to see:

Interactive Picture Frame: This one lets you choose a photo from your own personal screenshot gallery compared to the landscape photos from sightseeing. To clarify, basically FFXIV should have a scrapbook item that allows you to save photos you take in game from the /gpose function and put it in that scrapbook. Those photos can later be made into ones that you can show off in the small/medium/large frames within your personal home. That way, your house feels more personal to yourself and you can have something to look back on for fond memories if you take those pictures with loved ones or friends. Obviously though, they will need to have a profanity filter added though to avoid inappropriate photos from being hung up.

Teacup/Mug tree rack holder
Interactive toilet: So most of us are currently getting creative when making toilets in our houses, but I think it would be entertaining to have a toilet that you can click on that flips the lid up and down, and when it closes it makes a little flushing noise. Just something a little fun for people.
More multi-layered shelving as a wall-mounted item and not part of a bigger piece of furniture.

I'm sure I'll think of more as time goes but these were some recent ones that popped into my head.

As much as I would love to have this, unfortunately it will never happen, for reasons SE has already stated in the past about something related. Specifically, why implementing an ability to add personalized FC crests is also not possible, and sadly it's because of human nature.

Because it is inevitable some smart alec would think it funny to add an insulting, pornographic, offensive or harrassing image to the frame (the screenshot folder is not locked and you can move and add files into and out of it). Given the inevitable blowback to SE that would result, SE would have to therefore police that function, and it's just not worth the sheer effort required, especially as it would result in development resources being divered to such policing of it (this was the official reason for not having personalized FC crests given by SE back during the Beta test). As filters are not very reliable, they sadly they have to be pragmatic about this.

So alas, it's something SE will never implement I'm afraid, as much as I would love to have a personalized picture frame myself.
