I’m useless at housing.

I just bought earthtear cavern. I’m looking for some inspiration pleas guys???

Any YouTube vids you would recommend etc....

Should I have all my trophies on the pedestals as you walk along the narrow path to the centre?

Should I go the nature route and have huge trees filling the cavern....

What you think?

Thanks

    My favourite is Ayalockheart's, who built a giant tree palace on PC EU.

    I built a grass covered rock dome, with a large kitchen/diner in the middle, and a quiet garden in the back.

    Woah, love that custom Vampire redesign! You really made Earthtear barely recognisable and gloomy!

    Great, grats on your Earthtear caverns! ^^ Hope you'll enjoy it!

    Before you start to furnish it, I would also suggest thinking about the space first, and think about large structural furniture you may want to add. Perhaps you'd enjoy creating a larger platformed area in the middle, or put smaller islands and walkways on the water, or build something with pillars and stairs, or add several tents and campsites... Structural furniture can really transform the space in houses, especially in a free-er layout like Earthtear! So basically you can do almost anything there since it's so open, you just need to pick a theme or a purpose you want.

    There are many good builds on youtube, if you search for Earthtear Caverns furnished I'm sure you'll find inspiration!

    Mine is a Botanic Garden where my Bosmer collects and nurtures all the plants she found around Tamriel!

    You can try thinking about who the house is for, what styles they like and what sort of interests they have or what would be fun to have. Lots of homes on YouTube and streamers on Twitch. Good streamers to watch are StabbityDoom and JHartEllis who both have YouTube channels. Stabbity has this thread

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en-GB/discussion/557397/stabbys-potato-stream-homes-featured-daily-2021/p1

    and you can see which homes she has visited so if you just want to look at Earthtear Cavern then you can do that.
    I'd say just have fun with it.

    Ha I put them there due to the lack of wall space in that house a long time ago.

    The first tile right inside the door is offset from the rest of the row though, and after one visitor commented on the lack of symmetry I pulled them up and put them in my Villa instead.

    Yeah the default symmetry of that house is an OCD nightmare.

    Is there a resource for looking at all the available furnishings available in game and how to get them?

    Those sites have all the furniture on and there are probably addons on (I don't use addons for that)

    My wife has taken up the challenge of decorating Earthtear Cavern.

    I have been trying to get her into ESO for awhile. Perhaps housing will do it.

    Thanks for all the replies and links.

    I built a guild hall out of mine, using the expansive water in the far edge of the house straight from the entrance to hold a large number of floor platforms for the 240+ crafting stations to sit on. I've decorated the rest with hedges, dummies, and trees. I also have about 100 slots dedicated to "seasonal" items that I switch up now and then. I used the several small islands in the house for mundus stones because they feel like they belong there. Sadly with all the crafting stations I've had to leave the "back" of the house empty :(. Feel free to look mine up on EHT on PC-NA.
