    This one has given the matter some considerable thought.

    The answer would have to be the humble group of common candles.

    For without those nothing else could look its best no.

    Aside from that the Murkmire hanging shell lanterns are also very lovely.

    I have a couple items I adore:
    • Hanging vines. placed correctly, they're excellent for the perfect "recovered ruins" or "country cottage" look
    • Hlaalu/Dres Lantern, stationary. This is one of the prettiest lights in the game.
    • Khajiit curtains. I use them not just to frame windows, but also in doorways or to frame decorative panels and paintings.
    • Argonian lamppost... absolutely perfect for lighting up a beach getaway.
    • Any of the dividers except maybe Wood Elf. Never underestimate the value of breaking up floor space!
    • Any of the Redguard carpets. Just... any of them.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    The Cerulean Spadeleaf and the Aether Cup lighting plants I bought from Zenil Theran, without a doubt.

    I never seem to have much gold to spare, but on those weekends that the lighting plants were available, I purchased as many as I could afford. They're definitely my favourite furnishings. They literally make the houses 'shine' :smile:

    Mah Master Angler Fishing boat(s) too :D I use them in all sorts of ways: upside down, some parts only showing, etc
    When housing was made available for PTS, I fell in love with Hunding's (still my favorite house - or, to be accurate, my favorite outdoors) and when I discovered that the only boat available was from the Master Angler achievement, I went on a frenetic fishing spree.
    I tend to prefer achievement furnishings, as they have meaning. I love my Throne(s) of Cyrodiil for example

    Other than achievement furnishings, my favorite furnishing has to be that block of dirt with the moving skeleton hand from the Halloween furnishing pack: it's just funny.

    Those new damaging plants could earn their spot on my top 5 if they weren't blocked behind a gambling wall :s

    I don't think I can pick just one item. I have about 5 top favorites including the bathtub, the Aegis training dummy, Steve the soul shriven cook, the jesters box that makes noise, the counter with the fire in the middle, and the new music box. And then another handful of pretty important other pieces that are just slightly below those top items but not much.

    Gosh I have so many items I love. It's hard to pick. I'm very big in using atmosphere (lighting, sound fx, and music) to customize. So...
    1. lighting of all sorts but mostly common candles for white light, and daedric candles for blue. I also use common candle quite a bit for animation triggers/toggles.
    2. The scrap metal plates from clockwork city because I love the way they catch and reflect light.
    3. The music box! <3 Please tell ZOS to make more @ZOS_GinaBruno !
    4. Jester trees for a lovely color pop and those gently falling leaves.
    5. Almalexia rugs, carpets, and wall hangings. (Obvi if you've seen any of my housing pics! haha)
    6. The firefly and snow FX from EHT's new FX toolkit!

    The Alinor Clock.. If I have to pick one item its the clock, but there are so many cool things and combinations of things.

    But the clock is awesome. Then so is my Wraith of Crows target dummy who is caretaker and executioner in my place of necromancy.

    For lighting there are (not certain correct name) what look like large crystal shards. I think they come in different colours but the only one I've seen is the red one I picked up fishing over a year ago. Permanent red light, which when placed inside a stone statue creates amazingly daedric look. I'd love to figure a way to get more of them..

    At this point definitely Alinor Fountain, Timeworn - because running water! ^^ To be honest, with me one mostly does not see much of its original shape any more *cough* ^^

    @smacx250:
    According to this source (if they go on like this) both should return january/february.

    I would have to say the Imperial fountain (for which I’m very thankful zos finally gave us one in working order)
    However, the Elder Scroll has been one of my other favorite pieces as well...I also worked hard for that one and I love the lighting effects. B)

    I love he Augur of the Obscure collectible....

    I think the alinor lighting would of been the best but can't even see it at the Psijic Villa with no night time :{
    However i use mostly alinor lighting at my Colossal Alder Grotto but would really like to see the light posts at night.

    Agree with BlackSparrow the Hlaalu Lanterns are nice (very pirate kinda of looking) I added some to the dock at the grotto which work really well.
