It lacks the option of choosing own house style as per-existing models are used (unlike in SWG) and you're also limited to specific locations (unlike in SWG, which means no player cities) but on the inside, everything is so far very good. You don't have some silly "hooks" which per-determine the location of any and all items you can place, instead houses have item limit (which can also be upgraded, to a point) and you can place items anywhere (though some items may go to a specific general area like paintings on walls, etc, though that can also be adjusted with specific tools). House items can be crafted with Carpentry (so woodworking would work well, with some additions from smithing and cloth making, some alchemy and enchantment things for "bling" and "shiny" things perhaps), many quests also give unique looking house items as rewards, or trophies what can be added.
I'd say that the Hearthfire system as it was used in Skyrim would work well, just that don't add "hooks" or "spots" or some such fixed item locations nonsense, rather give different max item limit per different house type/size and let players place anything anywhere, as they want. And make so that items used in the game can also be used as decorations, for example if I want to add my first weapon or first ever self made armor set on some stand or plaque, it should be possible.

Yes, we should be able to furnish/build our own houses.
