Blizzard recently shared a detailed blog post, complete with a slew of in-engine videos demonstrating their new furniture placement system. These clips reveal furniture being neatly positioned on a grid, featuring a handy snapping option for ease. The setup also allows players to decorate larger items like bookshelves or dining tables with smaller objects that can move along with them. While the post emphasizes that it only covers interior decoration in a single room, it’s clear this is just a glimpse into a much larger system. Blizzard is still fine-tuning this feature, and they remind readers that the user interface is subject to change.
For those looking for a quick and straightforward way to set up their space, the Basic mode is perfect. However, if you’re eager to get more creative, the Advanced mode opens up a world of possibilities. It allows for intricate customization, letting players experiment with furniture clipping and rotating items on all three axes. This mode is a playground for imaginative architects who want to craft unique and complex scenes.
Players will also have the option to resize their objects, which is a thoughtful addition considering the diverse range of player models. For instance, a gnome might prefer cozier furnishings than a towering Tauren. Blizzard has also given a sneak peek into the option of recoloring furniture, although this feature appears to be limited to items designed specifically for player housing. Older, pre-existing models might not have this capability.
Though this post focused solely on interiors, Blizzard clarifies that the exterior of a house doesn’t dictate its interior. Whether you want a sprawling mansion with just one room inside or a modest shack with numerous nooks and crannies, the choice is yours. The team hints more exciting news is on the horizon, stating they “can’t wait to share more.”
Meanwhile, World of Warcraft fans are currently navigating the 11.3 patch, Undermine(d), set against the vibrant backdrop of the goblin cartel’s cultural and economic hub. Even though we’re still a few major updates away from the highly anticipated Midnight expansion, Blizzard is dutifully dropping hints about future content. With BlizzCon making its comeback in 2026, after a brief break, I’m eagerly anticipating more revelations. Personally, I’m looking forward to the possibility of choosing my own piece of land—settling down in Grizzly Hills sounds like a peaceful retreat.
