These are some of my favorite decoration ideas, taken from
the houses on this site or from elsewhere. They are organized by categories; links
to Famous Houses are provided where applicable.

If you really want a tree in you
house, well, you can have one :) (From the UO Cafeteria) |

A potted plant (from Harmony Halls) |

An arrangement of flowers livens
up this long dinner table. (from the Fishermen's
Roost) |

Well, Christmas is over but here
are two holiday trees nevertheless. (Both from the UO Cafeteria Winter Deco contest) |
 |
A flower made from pumpkinks and
nightshade(Umineko-ya) |
 |
Another DIY flower (the Jungle Tiger Inn) |
 |
These flowers are a good way to
soften the somewhat grim tower roof (see the
Jungle Tiger Inn to appreciate the full effect) |
|
10 points of you can tell me what
flowers are these! They look nice though... (Bayview Tavern) |
|
Nightshade, lanterns and quarter
staves make up this hedge. (House
of Whacks) |

Add a whispering rose to a potted
plant for this effect (the Drunken
Bard saloon) |
 |
Strings of dried flowers and
herbs. (the Secret Shop) |
 |
A garland of roses on the balcony
railing. (Springbank) |
 |
Roses! Stack nightshade and
dyed balls of yarn, and use a pitcher, keg or bowl as a vase. (Springbank) |
 |
A Bonzai tree, made from dyed
cotton and mandrake (Oceane's tower) |
 |
Interesting collage of
flowers (Oceane's Villa) |
 |
The simplest flower yet: a
pitcher and two nightshade. (Vic's country
house) |
  |
Small flowers amde from a bottle
and dyed cotton. (Temple of the
Thirty) |

Another simple but interesting
flower. (Lucinity) |
 |
A very good homemade fruit bowl
:) (Magic inc, from Wolffang's page, with a flash animation
explaining how to make one yourself!) |
 |
And another fruit bowl for those
who hate camping the Yew hut like me. (from Wolffang's page) |
 |
A blueberry bush made from a
potted plant and some black pearl. (from Wolffang's page) |
| Lighting |
 |
A lantern inside this flower makes a pleasant arrangement for
places where you want some light as well as a bit of color. (From ZARK) |
  |
Add a bit of nightshade on top of a hanging lantern. (From ZARK). Tip: You can hang a christmas bell
under the lamp as well (As Lady Rune demonstrates here) |
 |
Lanterns and heating stands combined into a new lighting fixture.
This one looks good hanging on a wall as well. (Skara Brae Wares) |
|
Lighting
fixture done with two round shields and a lantern (Syndicate Arms) |

| Furniture |
 |
A canopied bed. (From the
Space Between) |
 |
A full-size couch. Made
from benches and (folded) cloth. By putting benches inside the couch, you will be
able to actually sit on them. (From the
Kat House) |

The colors, together with the plant, torch and painting, liven up the grim look of
this tower. (From Witchblade
& St Ex Tower) |
 |
A piano! Hard to believe,
but there it is. (from Wolffang's page / Studio Milano).
Read the instructions
on how to build one. |
|
Chests with shelves. A good
idea is to put items on the shelves to indicate the contents of the chests. (Mondain's Tomb) |
 
|
Small tables made from a music
stand and a barrel lid / globe and a round shield. A nice variation if you need
something more elegant than the regular tables (Will's
Villa) |
|
A cupboard with scrolls. (Morlock's Lab) |
 |
A workbench with shelves for
storage, complete with lighting. (the

than the regular hard chairs! (Oceane's

shelves are a good idea. (Eric's Workshop) |
 |
A checkered table. (BAM Tower of darkness) |
 |
A cupboard with scrolls. (Maxim's workplace) |

well in fireplaces, but in this kitchen it is effectively used to create an oven/grill,
large enough to serve a household. (From the Clan of Crimson Ivory guildhall) |
 |
A wishing well. (From the Clan
of Crimson Ivory guildhall)

your own personal GM. (From the Dawn
museum of Dreams)

 |
A good use for the small space
next to the tower stairs: a privy! (From the Clan of Crimson Ivory
guildhall) |
 |
"When
i upgraded to a small tower I found that the space next to and under the stairs can't
really be used. So when I rearranged my bottom floor, I moved the cash pile i had under
the stairs on the middle floor. I don't know how I thought about it but i eventually made
this depositry". Designed by Kane |

good-looking one is by Boromir (from the Stratics forum) |

look! These vendors clearly show what they are selling, and the layout and
furnishings makes this shop very lifelike. (From Starry Nights) |
|
More puppets from the UO Cafeteria |

| Ensembles and Layouts |

An impressive waterfall.
This one requires object stacks higher than 17 items, a trick that has many other
uses, besides the one shown here. Kiral has experimented with this and written up
some notes of his
findings. |
 |
A novel use for the new polar bear trophy. (from the UO Cafeteria) |
 |
The entrance to this villa is overgrown with plants. Also note the
pretty lanterns and bells hanging from the balcony. (From Lucinity) |

apart from its neighbours. Tip: That particular corner of the villa is considered to

guildhall) |

proof that you do not need rares to make a cracking interior (or in this case, exterior.
From Emerald
spire to the Moon) |
 |
