I think to make homes more personable, we should be able to theme them. When you get to a certain level in a skill (say 75/80), you unlock the theme of that skill for your home. I think quite simply, once you reach the specified level, you're prompted to speak to your Skill Master, he congratulates you, gives you a scroll that you use at your carpenters table (add this table in the home workshop) in your home which then unlocks skill themed decor and furniture.

If you're skilling WC, this allows you to turn your home into a cosy, forrest themed cabin. You can be an overgrown forrester or a neat one. Your garden can be a forrest - mixed with hunter, you could have creatures in there too.

Prayer unlocks themes for different gods or simply unaligned chapel themes throughout. ect.

Each skill can be mix and matched, creating true player homes or even skill themed rooms.

Also, I think there should be a "minimalised" home feature, where you can build whatever you've unlocked in any room, also allowing players to create smaller, cosier homes.

I think I'm not the biggest fan of this. I don't mind the idea of more themes being gated behind levels.

But I don't think they should just be random house designs. Personally I'd prefer existing house themes becoming available to the player.

For example:

  • Maybe with a Woodcutting skill check, you can gain a Neitiznot house theme from Neitiznot
  • Maybe with a Fletching skill check, you can gain an Auburnvale house theme from Auburnvale
    etc.

The "minimalised home feature" sounds like a completely different suggestion to skill themed homes (and which may have some functional issues).

I see where you're coming from, as those already align with the presets you can already get for the house but to me, they just feel too bland and still don't give the player that personal touch to their home.

I wouldn't call them random house designs per se, it'd be integral with the skill.

Yeah, the minimalised home feature is a long shot, it just always comes to mind when teleporting to my house thanks to the loading screen.

Let's focus on crafting as an example with furniture, if you had a high enough level, you can replace your chairs with more intricate designs or have them inset with gems (like a dining chair with a sapphire at the top of the chair). That can then be implimented to nearly all other pieces of furniture and decor.
