My house design, input needed.

Hail Everyone!
I've been trying to get it designed for a while and while its not completely done I think its done enough to post and maybe even get some input or suggestions!
Front

Meeting Hall

Personal Quarters?

Crafting Area:

I'm still working on completing the third floor...and the crafting area...trying to figure out what to do with all the clutter...when I clear it out it looks bland and too open... Also not sure what colors to dye the shields and banners heh....
Any input or ideas is greatly appreciated...The roof is empty...not sure what I want to do with it.

Re: My house design, input needed.

The potted plants in the meeting hall looks out of place imo.
And u could fill the roof with huge rows of dinner tables, lampposts etc, cause a large house like that with a meeting hall needs one .

But everything else is really awesome... I dont like all the new tiles (samurai and elf theme = yuck imo), good thing u didnt use them.

How do u get to ur basement? With a teleporter tile?

And u mind if i copy ur design? I just gave up my tower for a 18x16, i rly liked my tower, medieval and oldschool UO feel, but my neigbours 18x18s rly blocked my view.

For my crafting areas I usually get barrels and put my items in them.I then put a small table on top.This can then also be used to place items on,or it looks good with a row of dye tubs on.

Love the look and feel of your work though.

Nicely done

*edit*

Oh and welcome to UOForums

Re: My house design, input needed.

Yeah I was thinking of doing some close lid barrels and store granite in them. Maybe even do the colored plates on top and circle the barrels in the middle and maybe put a rare display in the middle on stone tablesor something.

On that first pic you can get into the crafting area on both sides, you just walk under the trees...its kinda like a hidden path to get to them...that and there is a teleporter hidden in the meeting area.

As for copying the house design go for it if thats what you wanna do.

Thanks all for the input and thanks for the welcome!

Re: My house design, input needed.

Holy cow, is that 17 Bod storage vendors in your basement?

I like the design a lot. The meeting hall is very nice, and I like the trees flanking the front entrance stairs. The area outside the bedroom seems a bit too spacious imo, maybe needs something to break it up.

As for colors, your two guards out front are decked in black and red, and your benches and tables are already black, so... just my oh so humble opinion.

Re: My house design, input needed.

You might want to make individual rooms in your crafting area, i.e. one for tailoring and another for blacksmithing. As for the roof, you might want to create a garden, perhaps with a fountain.

Re: My house design, input needed.

Yeah all those bods are from doing years of idocs, I don't even do them anymore. Probably going to sell them if I move...I'm just not good with prices.

For the area outside the bedroom I was going to go with a dinner or poker table...that area isn't really finished...as I said its still a work in progress...you can pretty much see where I'm going though.

For the roof that is a good idea for a garden or something. I got some of the rubble yucca/palm/date trees I could put in there..the biggest problem I'm facing is covering up the hearths from the floor below.

Yeah I was thinking black and red...I might try that for the banners and shields.

As for the individual rooms I might do that...I've just had that bottom design for years...so use to it lol!

Thanks all for the input and keep it coming!
