Alpha-1 housing decorations.^[1]

Alpha-2 freehold homestead with furnishing and decorations.^[2]

Players may decorate their player housing and other types of buildings.^[3]

Houses will be empty when purchased.^[4]
- Players may be able to upgrade to pre-furnished sets when they purchase their home.^[5]
- Pre-furnished sets will be almost entirely visual and aesthetic. Only items crafted by the Carpentry profession will have in-game functionality.^[5]

Players may place furniture, artwork/paintings and other decor items in their player housing.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]
- Items may only be placed in locations that are suitable for that item. For example: Statues, may only be placed in exterior locations (of Freeholds and Static housing).^[5]

Each size, grade, and type of player-owned housing determines the number and type of items that can be placed in it.^[6]^[11]^[12] For example: You can place only the best furniture in mansion grade in-node housing.^[6]
- Building skins may change the shape of a homestead but the space available for furnishings should remain consistent.^[11]
When it comes to if you put a cosmetic house on top of your normal house, those cosmetics should be similar in size. The shape will change, so maybe the room layout will be different, but it'll still be like a one-story building.^[11] – Margaret Krohn

Characters will be able to interact with furniture items such as sit in chairs and lay in beds.^[13]
Players will not be able to alter structural aspects such as windows and walls.^[5]
There may be decor items that are representative of unique weapons that are available in the game.^[14]

Quality furniture can be crafted in-game based on the skill of the craftsperson and availability of recipes, components and workbenches suitable to craft them.^[6]^[15]

Furnishing items with in-game functionality will be restricted entirely to those created by the Carpentry profession.^[5]

Your ability to craft more luxurious furniture comes with how much of a master craftsman you've become in the furnishing profession... This isn't like , I want my house to look good, I got to fork over 50 bucks in cosmetics... Players can craft in-game based on their dedication and focus in that aspect the artisan tree.^[15] – Steven Sharif

Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.

Prized items such as achievements and trophies may be displayed.^[16]

Household security

A permissions system will enable an owner/primary tenant to grant access to specific parts of their housing.^[17]^[18]^[19]^[20]

Ability to open the door and enter the home.^[21]^[19]^[20]
Access to crops.^[22]^[19]
Ability to deposit or withdraw items from storage containers.^[23]^[21]^[19]^[24]^[25]
Permission to use furniture or crafting stations.^[21]

A property has a single owner/primary tenant.^[17]^[26]^[18]

Marriage enables family size to increase by one so that housing access can be shared.^[26]^[27]
Access lists can be used to mimic co-ownership.^[20]
Payment of taxes may be via a "gentleman's agreement".^[28]

It'll be a single owner based system for those types of properties- for properties in general, but it doesn't prevent players obviously from collaborating and pooling resources in order to achieve certain achievements in the game.^[18] – Steven Sharif

Paintings/artwork

Painting 3D renders.^[29]

Players will be able to upload custom images to use as artwork/paintings within their player housing.^[30]^[10]

Housing designs

Player housing designs and decorations are retained and can be placed again later if the housing is destroyed during a node siege.^[31]^[32]^[33]

Blueprints for homestead, business, and artisan freehold buildings, including progression and upgrades, are returned to the player.^[31]^[34]^[32]^[33]
A possible design idea is for items such as furnishings to be boxed in crates that are accessible inside the new home.^[35]
