Blizzard recently released a blog post packed with in-engine videos that give us a sneak peek at how furniture can be positioned in their new system. These videos reveal how various pieces of furniture can be placed on a grid, with a feature that lets items snap perfectly into place. You can even take a larger item, like a dining table or bookshelf, and adorn it with smaller objects that move along with it. The blog makes it clear that this is just a sample of the interior decoration system, focusing solely on a single room. Plus, Blizzard reminds us that this is all a work in progress, so the user interface we see right now might still change.
For gamers who appreciate a quick setup, the Basic mode offers a straightforward way to organize your virtual space. But if you’re into experimenting and customization, the Advanced mode is where you can really get creative. This allows you to experiment with furniture clipping and adjust items across all three axes. It’s perfect for those who have a knack for creating unique player housing by cleverly positioning and rotating objects.
Players can also look forward to resizing objects, which is a smart addition given the variety of player models. After all, a smaller character like a gnome would probably prefer cozier accommodations compared to a larger Tauren. Blizzard is also introducing an option to recolor some furniture, especially those designed for player housing. However, it seems that older models might not have this functionality.
Although this blog primarily covers interior aspects, Blizzard points out that the exterior design of your home doesn’t limit its interior possibilities. Want a sprawling mansion exterior but a single cozy room inside? Go for it. Prefer a tiny shack outside with a surprise of multiple rooms within? The choice is yours. There’s still much more to explore, and Blizzard expressed their excitement to share more details soon.
Currently, World of Warcraft players are immersed in patch 11.3, dubbed Undermine(d), which is set in the vibrant hub of the goblin cartels’ cultural and financial scenes. While we still have a few patches to go before Midnight is released, Blizzard is keeping us engaged with sneak peeks of upcoming content. Anticipation is particularly high for BlizzCon, which is making its comeback in 2026 after a break. Personally, I’m thrilled about the potential this player housing system has to offer; a cozy spot in Grizzly Hills sounds like the perfect escape to me.
