It seems to me and others I've discussed this with that the object counts for the houses seem very low. My furnished medium house came with almost 200 objects and a limit of 200 without ESO plus. It seems like we are being severely hampered by the current object count numbers. I'd like to see them doubled from what they are now. Let us actually build stuff with the furnishing system and setup our homes the way we want.

on top of all the money you spend on getting the house, this is yet one more way to squeeze every last drop of blood from you by getting you to sub to get a higher limit

I agree it'd be nice for it to be higher - both for subs and non-subs.

I completely understand they need to have a limit. I've crashed my (reasonably up to date, gaming) computer before now adding too many items to Sims houses and then trying to load it and switch floors right away. Or playing an old simulation game called Creatures and letting the population get a bit out of control. I even managed it in Minecraft once, but I think that was a bug rather than my colour-changing rainbow house.

So I'm fine with their being a limit but on some houses you can hit it quickly and still feel like there's a lot of empty space.

I think another 50% on all properties would be about right, rounded up/down to neat numbers. So for example inn rooms would allow 20 items without ESO plus, 40 with, medium houses would all 300 without ESO Plus, 600 with it. Manors would allow 500 without a sub, 1000 with.

There are 'tricks' you can use to make a house look more fully furnished than it is, like putting most stuff in the middle of the room and positioned so it takes up a lot of space - for example putting a rectangular table diagonally across a square space with chairs positioned as if they're pushed back instead of tucked in against it (and maybe one or two angled as if someone turned it to get up and just left it where it was). Or putting one 'group' object like a bunch of bananas in the middle of a cabinet shelf so it takes up a lot of space and it's not immediately noticeable that there's nothing else on there.

But it's annoying to have to do that in order to fit within the item limit.

I kind of second that. I always planned to buy crowns and administer the money I spend in this game that way (purchasing DLCs with crowns et cetera). I liked how you could decide how and when to spend your money instead of needing a subscription, but now it looks like I really have to purchase ESO+ if I want to furnish my houses decently, which is extremely upsetting.
If the cap was to be increased I'd definitely be happier, but I can see that the company prefers charging for this as it's a cosmetic, not an utility thing. For this reason, I'd at least propose to add for like 1000 crowns the chance to increase housing space in the crown store, in a fixed way, forever, without having to subscribe to eso+ any time I wish to apply changes to a house on which I went past the fixed non subscribed limit. Much like purchasing DLCs.
@ZOS_GinaBruno May I tag you for this suggestion?

I like the idea of a permanent cap that you could buy for crowns. I'd be ok with that as a solution to the cap problem. As it stands now I already have ESO+ and the 400 object cap I have isn't even close to enough objects.

Expectation

Reality

I have ESO+ and the limit is pretty fair and enough so far. What I don't like, is the artificial limitation for non ESO+ players. If I pay I have more features, like craft bags and so on, and I get a few crowns and have access to dlcs. Feels alright to me.
Extending the furniture limit as an ESO+ feature doesn't feel right to me though. The limit should only exist for the sake of performance, and to be honest, I'd rather have a "safe limit" as a recommendation which I could overstep at will. I am not sure if more furniture in player houses would affect server performance, if not I'd say make it FREE FOR ALL!
Because: why not? If I overstep the given safe limit, it's my own fault if that kills my performance.
