One of the most fascinating things about MMO's are the little things people will do within the game to make it more of 'their own.' Take housing, for example; many use their house as simple vaults and never put much effort into the decorations. There are those select few though, who go beyond the basics and spend hours designing their homes to fit a certain theme. In today's spotlight, we stop to take a look at a few designs, and share some inspiration for us all to roll up our sleeves and start rearranging our own furniture.

The actual range of options a person has when it comes to interior design in EQ2 can be a bit overwhelming. Where to start? What to do? What do I need? All kinds of questions can quickly spring to mind and make the project look bigger than it is. By way of example, the people who share images of their design in the Norrathian Homeshow forum show us all how easy it can be to achieve pleasing and dramatic results in our own homes.

A Barbarians Frostfell Decoration

Even though Frostfell is over, its legacy can be found in the Homeshow. A little bit of digging through the last month of posts and you can find all kinds of gems related to the holiday. Like this thread from msgnomer, demonstrating that yes, there is more to a barbarian Frostfell celebration than lots of 'nog! Through the use of a few simple decorations, any home can take on a festive mood. Great work msgnomer!

Hiding Rooms in an Acorn.

Even without the holidays, it's very possible to do a very cool house and add in a few perks. Lola834618 put a lot of effort into her acorn house in Kelethin, and even managed to sneak in a hidden room. With results like this, it's easy to see why people put so much effort into decoration – the rewards are pleasing to the eye.

Founstrosity

Going beyond the simple or casual in design, Sayne put up a few quick images of the 'Founstrosity' design plan. Taking a few items and mixing them up in a good theme can provide dramatic results, including a rather large fountain.

You Can Do It!

With a little bit of inspiration, and a willingness to try different ideas, all of us can have a home that reflects our characters and showcases some of our trophies. Sure, we can't all design masterpieces, but that's no excuse for letting cobweb's gather in your home! If these designs haven't inspired you, be sure to dig through all the other great examples found in the Norrathian Homeshow, and then share your own!
