Blizzard recently unveiled a blog post packed with in-engine videos showcasing their latest feature: customizable furniture placement. The clips demonstrate how items can be neatly set on a grid with a handy snap-to-place option. You also have the flexibility to adorn larger pieces like bookshelves or dining tables with assorted decorations, which conveniently move together with the main item. It’s important to note that this sneak peek is centered solely on interior decoration within a single room, giving us merely a taste of what’s to come. Blizzard emphasized that this is a work in progress, so the user interface might see some changes down the line.
For those seeking a quick fix in arranging their space, the Basic mode offers a simple and efficient way to get the job done. But if you’re itching for some creativity, the Advanced mode lets you dive into more complex decorating techniques. It allows you to clip and rotate furniture on all three axes, offering room for some truly unique player housing designs. This feature invites clever minds to craft intricate scenes through strategic placement and rotation of objects.
Additionally, the capability to resize objects is tailored to accommodate the wide array of player models. For example, a gnome might prefer cozier fittings compared to a larger Tauren. Blizzard also highlighted the option to recolor specific furniture pieces designed for player housing, although some models drawn from existing assets might not have this feature.
Interestingly, while this post spotlighted interior design, Blizzard reassures players that external appearances won’t dictate the interior layout. Whether you desire a sprawling mansion with a single room or a compact cottage with multiple rooms, the choice is yours. The blog hints at more exciting updates on the horizon, although details are still under wraps.
Meanwhile, World of Warcraft enthusiasts continue to explore the 11.3 patch, “Undermine(d),” set amidst the bustling heart of goblin commerce and culture. We have a few major updates to anticipate before reaching the Midnight patch, but Blizzard keeps us intrigued with glimpses of forthcoming content. With BlizzCon making a comeback in 2026 after a break, I’m definitely excited for deeper dives into these features. Personally, I’m dreaming of a homestead in the Grizzly Hills, surrounded by nature’s tranquility.
