I would like to see loft variants, please:

- different sizes:
quarter and half lofts, the former matching the steps, so you can make landings without a hassle

- less heigth: would love lofts
lofts that aren't this thick, half of it would be nice, more like the factory grate. Maybe something as simple as the white rectangular partition.

transparent/semi-transparent glass lofts
just a dream, probably, but my, would those be nice...

Ishgard/ Empyreum Yard/ Exterior snow covered garden decor: Snow covered plants, trees, decorations, fences
A huge complaint I have towards garden/ yard items is hardly any are winter/ cold related without it being winter holiday related. Many items we have are spring/ warm or temperate forest related.

I feel like I want to start an entire thread called “Rugs of the Realm” for all the in-game rugs we still don’t have as furnishing items! Such a lack of good rugs, and even fewer are dyeable… or if they could just get that starry rug that won in the latest contest!

I love your idea of the rounded doorways too! Such a shame you can’t jump through the Hingan windowed partition, or that could kinda act as a doorway…

Just a few things I've been thinking of since forever, listed in no specific order ...

- Flowerpot print canvases, similar to what already exists for fish. It's a shame to let the prints go to waste, so why not use them for pretty framed pictures for walls?

- Miniature model aetherytes of various types, such as but not limited to expansion-specific aetheryte as in the First aetherytes, tribal-specific like Vanu Vanu, and area-specifics like World Unsundered and Sea of Stars.

- More message book stands; additonal ones themed by city-states and or creature-themed options like chocobo, mandragora, paissa etc.

- Interactive table lamps and updates to current lamps to be interactable.

- Single pillow or shorter mat (futon-like) furnishings that function like beds. These could possibly be hidden under platforms to make unique '/doze'able areas inside houses for custom beds.

- Modular simple couches, benches of varying shapes for custom seating. Shapes could include a left arm piece, a center piece, a right arm piece, an angled corner piece, a rounded corner piece, a left chaise (with or without arms), a right chaise (with or without arms), and so on. The pre-existing 'Leather Sofa' furnishing can definitely be used for this as a base.

Adding to my previous wish list… lol

- Arches/doorways/partitions that are about half height and don’t go all the way up to the ceiling. I’d like to have a way to separate areas without cutting off my chandelier.

- Curtains that drape on both sides that could be used as dividers much like doorway partitions are… currently the only option is to glitch 2 stage panels into place to achieve the same look, and they’re a pain to line up perfectly because they act like magnets repelling each other when you try to put them together! Again either half height or allow them to sink into the floor a bit like the stage curtains do. Also make them snap to the short sides of other partitions and not just the wide side.

- Half partitions that are a little lower and thinner. Don’t have to be “tables,” just need more room divider options.

- Just. Let. Us. Dye. Everything!!! So many great furnishings already in game that would be perfect for some ideas I have, except for their color ruining it.

- Window seats as a wall or partition mountable item… I think there was a contest winner for this already, but the more options, the merrier! I really want a window seat. I also really don’t want to spend the slots it would take to create one.

- All the good stuff from the past 2 furnishing design contests that still aren’t in game yet! Really so many good things that are much needed in game!

Mirrors or something that looks like one (maybe same way they do it in cartoons). Pereferably bigger ones you can place on walls so that i could create a dance studio for my dancer.
