Well I suppose I'll get things started...
I know personally I have quite a few ideas and suggestions. For one, not many people seem to focus on this, but what about new tiles? If they could have a library-themed wall or a stained-glass window-themed wall that would be beautiful! And round rugs? All of the rugs I can find are square! If they could make rugs that are different sizes instead of just small so there could be some that take up almost the whole floor that'd be great!
In addition to those suggestions, as far as The Faktori and The Marketplace goes, I wish we could have a preview of how items are going to look in our houses. The aquarium does it with fish and decorations, why not the houses? One of my big frustrations is buying an item I think I like but when I see it in my house it isn't what I thought. You can't get a very accurate look at many of the items in the shops.
As for outside the house, wouldn't it be cool to have balconies? Medieval themed, modern themed. Gaia could add on to existing item themes and create new ones. That would open a door for more items such as seat-swing thingies, more plants, lights; outside items that could go on a balcony. That could also possibly open the door for multiple floors in the houses and stairways.
Fir future item ideas, I'm not sure. Maybe a throne room for royalty, a fairy theme, a military theme for guys (And girls, too, who are interested). Wouldn't it be cool if we had ceiling items? Snowflakes that hang from the ceiling are what I imagined first, but this could expand to banners, chandeliers!! biggrin
I know this is all very intricate and I don't at all expect it to take form overnight. I realize it is a process. These are just my thoughts. What do you think?? 4laugh
