The current housing decor & item placing is very shallow, limited, frustrating & constantly requires ingenuity to get around the current item placement system.
Games like Wildstar & ESO allow you to place items within your home pretty much anywhere without a need to pull your hair out. You could also resize the decor & dye everything. Literally everything. Not in FFXIV, though.
Want to dye some brick? Sorry, it only comes in red & that paintbrush is only meant for looks.

Right now, I have a set of stairs I want to place one way but the stairs cannot be flipped to go the direction I'd prefer. I repeat, an item cannot be flipped.. or maybe it can? By glitching & bugging out the current placement system in Housing!. That doesn't seem weird to you guys?
Players actually have to bug out & glitch the current item placement system due to it's lackluster limitations. We should be able to place whatever we want wherever we want. Want to rotate a wall at an acute angle? You can't. Want to place a window on a partition? You can't. Want to place items in the air? You can't. Not without glitching the current system & it's incredibly frustrating like this.

Make all items flippable, limitless rotations, everything dyable, fix the item placement restrictions.

Please, Enix - fix the item decor placement & allow more placements!
