Ideas for small apartments

Athan1

Recently went on a shopping spree and bought many cheap houses (single rooms in central cities). These apartments are too small to properly decorate. Can you guys give me any ideas or themes? Like one apartment could be a study room, or a little library... I even saw a single room transformed into a small greenhouse (there were only plans). Any ideas welcome.

I spent some time sorting out screenshots by @jhartellis for his site, including small spaces:

I have to admit, these aren't exceedingly creative, but they do make decent places to stay overnight...

So... This is where my main lived when housing was just introduced



He didn't even have a bed, just a rug on the floor for sleeping and reading.

Things have improved since then... He now lives in The Flaming Nix, at least from time to time:



Sleeping area (yes, he loves pillows) -



Dining area:



And no, it's not blasphemous to get drunk in front of a Tribunal icon Also, it was a really important meeting last night.

You can do a lot with the small inn rooms. These are the smallest in the game but I managed to get a bed, bathtub, food, places to sit and chill, in them all.

I'm a big fan of the inn rooms and apartments... they are so inexpensive, and most of them have exactly the right slots-to-space ratio. I do try to decorate in a lore-friendly, immersive fashion, so these are probably too boring to be of interest:

• Rosy Lion Inn Room
• Barbed Hook Private Room
• Mara’s Kiss Inn Room
• Flaming Nix Deeeee-luxe Garret
• Ebony Flask Inn Room
• Sisters of the Sands Apartment
• Golden Gryphon Garret (really needs double the slots to decorate properly, bah!)
• Saint Delyn Penthouse

I don't think they're boring. Not everything has to be glittery and fancy, sometimes a tavern room is just a tavern room.

I think the golden gryphon inn and st. delyn penthouse are too large for their item limits. I was barely able to fit a bed, table, floor covering, table/chairs and some lights before running out of item slots. This left them looking very sparse and un-homey to me. I'm not creative. When I decorate a player home, I generally make traditional rooms that you'd find in an actual house.

I am toying with the idea of trying to build a "cat cafe," but it would need to be a room inside one of the dwellings with the largest collectible/pet limit. No sense in building cat trees and beds in an inn room only to be able to put two actual cats in the space. Maybe inside hall of the lunar champion or one of the wings. Like the Khajiit house, for example. But then I'd have to hide all of my beautiful cats in a wing instead of having them in the main house. With this new pathing I'm hearing about, it might be fun to try.

I completely agree. I'm currently trying to build something like an "office" and workshop in Clockwork style for my main in St Delyn, but the limit is a real problem. I'd like to have more tools lyring around (there are so many items in that style that would fit perfectly), but then I'd have to remove his desk and bookshelves - or just the other way round, if I want to place some more books around his reading/writing area, then I would probably have to remove the workshop part. The room itself would be big enough for both. Oh, and actually I wanted to add some tapestry too, but that would exceed the limit by far
