Housing Items Preview & Scaling

Dear ZOS,

Would it be possible when previewing housing items to be able to see the scale of the object? Perhaps show our character next to the item? There are SO MANY items that are much smaller/larger than they appear in preview. For example: Alinor furniture; my Altmer is as small as I could make her and all the Alinor furniture looks like a children's play set it's so small. Plants are another issue that need to be addressed as well. When previewing flowers and plants they seem large but in actuality they are usually so small they disappear into local grasses and what-not. Please provide a way to show the scale of housing items. Would be nice is ESO Plus members got a housing bag to store unlimited furnishings like the crafting bag (hint, hint). Thank you.

    The ESO fashion website does a good job showing furnishings next to a character for reference.

    But personally I've never had any trouble using the preview's floor tiles to calculate scale.

    Yup, floor tiles give a fairly good estimate on size.

    I would love this idea.

    I do rely heavily on ESO Fasion furniture preview because they put a nice image of the character next to the item for scale.

    I would like to see this feature in-game.
    TANK - that's all I do.

    Normally, I don't consider it that hard to figure out sizes. But I did once buy two anchors that were about the same size as the fishing boat. (To be fair, I probably didn't pay close attention to the preview because i just assumed they would be in scale with the fishing boat, not a bloody aircraft carrier.)
