    What search words for a very "Samurai" interior?

    After visiting some people's apartments, it's been made clear to me that there can be much more to a small interior space than "this is where I put my cutscene console so I don't have to listen to the baby crib inn music," which is my current apartment.

    It's time to decorate... but with what?

    With years of options and multiple terms defining the various aesthetics, someone like me who wants like the most weebishly samurai interior I can imagine, I have no idea what to even start looking for. I do find that in situations like this it's often easy to assemble a consistent aesthetic using a similar term that groups items together, so I guess I'm asking for recommendations not just of items but of terms. Like I don't care if it's all kinda same-y, I'd like it all to fit together, you know?

    So I guess here's what I'm looking for:

    -Above all, I love "the Kugane aesthetic," and all the east-asian vibes from stormblood.
    -Main class is samurai, and I tend to angle my other job weapons toward that (very "naginata" dragoon spear, for example), so I'd like to keep that aesthetic
    -Leaning toward red and/or black hues
    -Also dragons. I love dragons.
    -I'd like to not break the bank here haha

    So within those parameters, are there like established "sets" of items or big must-have specific items you can recommend if you're a housing expert?

    Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies!

    Maybe start with Far Eastern, Doman, or Hingan items? Anything related to the Four Lords might work too.

    The word Hingan will capture alot of Far Eastern themed pieces, and most can be dyed to whatever colour you wish, there's also a replica kotetsu samurai sword ornament and some Samurai armour called hingan armor display

    This site has all the possible housing items its great https://en.ff14housing.com

    You can also preview all furniture items through the housing menu – go inside your house (or stand in the yard for external decorating) and open the menu: Social - Housing - Preview Indoor Furnishings. Then you can browse everything and even move the items around or preview paint colours so you can get a good idea of how they look and whether you can place them where you want them.

    At a quick skim through the furniture list, "Hingan", "Eastern" and "Oriental" are your best key words to get most of the items – along with the less predictable "Otter", specifically of the Odder variety, which has some oriental-style furniture. But you're best to browse through everything because there are also items without a grouped naming scheme to search by.
