    The issue is more that the ratio of items to space is wrong.

    A small house is (almost) the same size as two apartments - so, it gets two apartments worth of items, at 200.

    But a medium house is not the same as three apartments, it's closer to four apartments, yet only gets 300 items.

    And a large is most definitely not the same as four apartments, it's more like six (even larger than that really) but only gets 400.

    I would like apartments and smalls to get a boost as well, but mediums and larges definitely need a lot more. I'd propose something along the lines of:

    Apartments/Private Chambers: 125
    Small: 250
    Medium: 500
    Large: 750

    This would keep the item ratio fairly even with the amount of space across the different sizes.

    As for why an item boost would be nice, well, there's a reason most of the popular house designers in this game are blocking off large amounts of space, the item limits are just not realistic! If you don't block off any space and lay out your furniture, you're going to end up with huge amounts of empty space and very little detail, making your house feel more like a museum. When you walk around your own home, do you have huge amounts of space between every piece of furniture? Probably not.

    I'd round that apartment one up to 150, and the smalls to 300 as a result, purely for the sake of the round numbers Square seems to prefer. Otherwise I like your logic quite a bit.
