The real problem is the actual amount of furnishing spaces total. People have been asking for years to have more space for furnishings, whether traditional or the collectables. For instance, Pets, Mounts, Assistants and Houseguests all count as the same category, and the most you can have in any house is 10. Meanwhile, "Collectable" furnishings covers everything from Storage, to Statuettes to Undaunted trophies, though this category often has room for more items per house than the others.

So the problem isn't just "Can we move this item out of this limited category and into another equally limited one" the problem is "Why are the amount of things we can actually use at once so limited in the first place when there are so many new collectables that we'll never be able to place?"

No. Collectibles allow it to be used in multiple homes and also ensures that it doesn't take the space of a traditional furnishing.

Considering the amount of concerns people who do housing voice, about the lack of slots and how there is a great need for increased spaces in every house, I don't know why this functionality was not added to the housing menu and not attached to the item itself.

By all means add the hourglass model to collectables to be placed in the house should you want to, but the core functionality of changing the time of day (and while we're thinking about it why not allow a change of weather too), could have seemlessly been added to each house menu so you can set it up how you like just as you set visiting and decorating permissions.

This is moreso something that should have been done since there is such a high premium of money housing people are expected to pour into the game to play their content.

I would like to see just a total number of items we can place and we decide for ourselves how many of each category out of that total.

@Trundik Note that you can place additional furnishings while temporarily having ESO+ and the furnishings will remain once you no longer do, although you will not be able to add or replace furnishings once you no longer have ESO+ until you are again below the lower limits.

I know. But it still seems unfair to me. Ofcourse as many responders say Hourglass function could be free. But its not. Okay, what about current idea realisation? Event items mean something that player is rewarded for certain "holiday" activity. I did that activity, worth how many? 60 or 70 tickets probably. Okay i can wait for next free ESO+ to place it without real money investment - this is cruel and makes that "reward" like a suitcase without a handle. Okay but in my house there is no space for that item, because my trophies and paintings all standing where it should. The only item I could remove is statuette with monk, that i was rewarded for purchasing eso plus in some previous period. Without it my shelf also will be empty and I rly doubt I need this Hourglass in exchange of statuette. In other case I could just replace ebonite hourglass already used in my home with sacrded one or add it to still free slots, loosing nothing, if only this item would be any another item cathegory.

Well I agree with argument that collectibles is shareable between houses and its solid. But anyway I think collectible limit and donation request makes this "reward" a bad designed reward, that need to make solid sacrifices for use it. If I could just get back wasted hours of gameplay for it, I would ask for retribution.
