Blizzard recently posted an intriguing update on their blog, showcasing a series of in-engine videos that demonstrate how players can arrange furniture within the game environment. These clips reveal how items can be placed on a grid system, with an option to have items neatly snap into place for a more polished look. The system offers a unique twist by allowing larger pieces like bookshelves or dining tables to be adorned with smaller decorations that move as a single unit with their parent piece. However, Blizzard makes it clear that the current focus is solely on interior decoration systems for a single room, so there’s much more to explore in the future. Plus, they remind us that everything is still a work in progress, meaning what we see now could change before the final release.
For those eager to dive deeper into home customization, there’s an Advanced mode that lets players get creative with furniture positioning. This mode includes features for experimenting with item clipping and rotating things on all three axes, paving the way for inventive and unique home layouts. Talented players might even devise intricate designs by cleverly arranging and manipulating objects.
An exciting aspect of this system is the ability to resize objects, offering a tailored experience that considers the diverse range of player models. So, whether you’re a tiny gnome or a towering Tauren, you can make your space feel just right. Additionally, Blizzard introduced some customization options like recoloring certain furniture models specifically designed for player housing. However, it’s important to know that not all models will have this feature, especially those derived from older assets.
This blog concentrates on interior aesthetics, yet Blizzard emphasizes that the exterior of your house won’t impact the internal space. In their words, “Feel free to have a massive mansion outside with a single-room interior, or a modest shack hiding dozens of rooms inside—make it your own.” Although there’s much more to unravel, the team is eager to share additional insights as development proceeds.
Meanwhile, World of Warcraft enthusiasts are navigating their way through the 11.3 patch, Undermine(d), which explores the bustling cultural hub of the goblin cartels. We’re still a few major patches away from the big Midnight release, but Blizzard has been steadily trickling out new details. With BlizzCon making a comeback in 2026, there’s plenty to anticipate. Personally, I’m thrilled by these sneak peeks at the player housing features and am already eyeing a tranquil spot in Grizzly Hills to call my own.
