I don't have even close to 1400 furnishings. My bank isn't even halfway filled and most of the furnishings I keep in it are bound so I can't sell them. Although I did destroy a bunch of bound torture furnishings because I will never have a use for those, and plan to destroy a stack of Jester banners and a few other such items that I will never use.

I make and purchase furnishings as I have a use for them. If I don't use a piece after all I sell it.

@Zodiarkslayer I still don't understand how we bind a furnishing to our account. The only furnishings I have that are bound are from events, like the Jester banners, or items from an achievement vendor, or antiquities, or pieces I purchased with crowns or seals. I've placed furnishings then later removed them and placed them in my bank and they didn't bind to my account, and I was able to sell them later.

oh. i understand the idea behind the "binding" it could be done at the moment of first "deploying" a unit in a players' house,
but before that crafted and luxury furnishings are "unbound". Still this approach cause a problem with purchasing already furnished houses for Crowns.
Players tend to sell "Firelogs, Flaming" (current price at PC EU is about 300K+ ), paintings from Vampiric manor, and such - for quite a lot of gold, making these furnishings bound will completely stop supply to the market. And they can not be "unbound" as already deployed.
What to do with furnishings you no longer want? They are non-deconstructable and NPC vendors pay too little (compared with materials prices if we speak about crafted things)
So i am not sure binding furnishings is a good thing for the ingame market.

What i am about is a convenient system allowing previews (for example i would like to fetch a chandelier, or a sconce - and i would like to try different ones before retrieving, crafting, or buying (as they have different brightness, color and look)), and quick access - but contemporary system does not allow anything like this.
FurnitureCatalogue addon author refers that ZOS is against previewing items player does not already have, but, in my understanding, allowing preview from the list in a house you are decorating (not in a chat link) cannot harm.
Preview, retrieving, grouping, quick replacement, storing removed furnishings, - all together requires an entire system: furnishing bag, catalogue (what is what, and where to get it), and quick deployment/replacement/removing design system.
This hardly may be done without some centralized storage hub, due the the huge numbers of different furnishings.

And about "hoarding" - the Luxury Furnisher is on one year cycle. Of course i bough 5-6 of each gorgeous tree he offers this weekend, as there is no 100% certainty i will be able to purchase exactly these trees from the Guild Traders (for higher price and in necessary quantities) later. Right now I do not have a certain project to deploy them trees, but i prefer to hoard them for "just in case" - not to wait a year or query TTC if this "case" happens. You never know.

I have placed crafted and luxury furnishings at my houses then taken them back out and sold them. Just placing these does not bind them, nor does putting them in my bank.

Getting back to the general storage topic...

I think what options we have in game right now is enough storage capacity. Considering ESO+ and the various free trial exploits, I would even say we have more than enough.

However, one has to note that having more than six/seven characters significantly increases the amount of organisation required. And that is the point isn't it? The willingness to put up effort for organisation is the problem. After all, who wants to do the same stuff in his recreational activities, that you have to do in your real and work lifes? It's supposed to be fun, right? Not work.

But ultimately, there is just no easy "dump and forget" storage. I would be totally fine with an expansion of the ESO+ storage addition, by the way. Triple or quadruple would be fine, I guess.
But that doesn't erase the need for organisation from a certain size on.

The main thing I'd like to see added is a siege equivalent of the craft bag with its own quick cast wheel. It's really frustrating that none of them stack up, except the camps (even the sieges that have matching durability don't stack), it takes up so much room in the inventory.

Another suggestion I've heard in the past, that has some potential, is for the ability to save gold gear into the sticker book so it can be remade at gold quality for free (it would only apply to gold quality gear, lower quality would still have to be reconstructed with transmutes still).

Others have also asked for a treasure map/survey bag, which would be nice too.

As an easy QoL I'd welcome that all storage chests are actually linked and I don't have to go through the 8 (?) of them bc I can't remember in which box I put something.

Instead of 4 boxes of each, just 1 small chest and 1 large chest but gets upgraded 4 times (well 1 acquires, 3 upgrades).

That would also lower the housing item limit burden by 6.

Furniture bag please.

(Have big homes as warehouses. Grotto is a plant nursery at the moment; doomchar is for everything else. Overflow at psijic.)

Or pvp bag for siege stuff.

The ability to decon furnishings for parts might be a nice way to let players free up space and de-clutter their furnishing hold-all.

I've brought this up before. What would be great for furnishing storage is a Furnishing Bag (similar to the craft bag). All your furnishings go straight to your bag with category tabs and a search function. Everything would be in ONE PLACE. They can't say it cannot be done, because it already has (craft bag). It would just be copy and paste code, and instead of looking for craft materials it would store anything already tagged as a furnishing.

@ZOS_Kevin

There are a lot of furnishings but we don't need to craft and store all of them.

Pretty much de-con everything now except gold jewelry. Mats are too expensive and hard to come by just in case I ever want to use that set again. Would like additional space as well. Don't use any of my characters as mules because I do like to play them and not want to mess with inventory while playing.

Ideas
1. Add surveys to the crafting bag and available to all characters all the time.
2. Potions, poisons and food should stack to 1000.
3. Siege bag with 200 slots would help a lot also.
4. Furniture bag of 200 spaces would be nice too.
5. Armory system with 15 slots for each build.
6. Companion bag or at least let companion hold their stuff up to 30 spaces each.
7. More storage containers we can place in our homes.
8. Manikins we can display gear on.
9. Would love a jewelry box I could use to hold all my gold jewelry.

Stay safe

Either grant us the ability to decon furniture or give us a place to store it.

transmute geodes from PVP campaigns + turn all your unneeded stuff into gold. Gold is infinite, storage is limited.

Also - "turn all your unneeded stuff into gold"

This requires trade guilds, since many items sell slowly, esp. in bad trader spots. With limited guild slots it's not really an option to have multiple trade guilds if you have several social/trial/pvp guilds and are in a bank guild or few. I am in two non-trade guilds who have a trader, but 60 slots is not enough to sell all extra stuff, esp. when it's not a major spot. (Plus I sell stuff in general when I feel like it, I don't do it "professionally" like some who instantly go fill their slots once something sells. That feels too much like a chore to me.)

I feel that with ESO many common issues just come back to lack of inventory space one way or another.

One of the major reasons why I don't know if I'm going for D4 yet is its lack of inventory space. I already went crazy with it in D2 before the shared stash mod, and I didn't play D3 at all because of its lack of support for mods. I play for fun and if I don't like something I want to change it so the game is more fun to play. I already do enough organizing and management etc IRL. In my free time I want to relax.

The most common cheat I used in Skyrim was for inventory space, so I could loot pretty much everything. I just don't enjoy games where I am constantly limited in what I want to do by lack of space, having to do chores and run around selling stuff constantly. I like to play for fun and do the merchant stuff at once, not in the middle of exploring. e.g. during Mayhem I emptied my mail a few times during the event, but emptied about 500 mails at the end of it at once or in two installments, instead of doing it as a chore every day.

The only reason I'm still playing Pokemon Go casually is that it let me buy inventory space for items and pokemon to the thousands. If I had been limited to what it offers for free I would have quit in a couple of weeks. Because I don't want to deal with management and organizing all the time in my free time - I do enough of that at work.
